Whatever the room, large or small, you can make a mistake with the placement of the bed. So that later you do not have to make large and complex permutations, you must take into account existing rules and recommendations. A very useful guide can be the Chinese teaching of Feng Shui. It has established itself as an effective means of expression in design. This philosophy helps to understand how to put a bed in the bedroom. The main goal of all calculations when planning the bedroom and other rooms with sleeping places is to ensure a comfortable sleep and good mood. For a bed, you need to look for a secluded place without getting bright artificial light and with enough space around. A place to sleep should be protected from exposure to cold, heat and falling objects. Particular attention will need to be paid to the issue of placing a crib and planning the space as a whole.
To get a comfortable berth, you must follow a few basic rules. The minimum permissible distance to the nearest objects is 50 cm, so the owners will have free access to the bed. The sleeping area is arranged far from prying eyes, but the doorway needs to be kept in sight. Convenient access to a double bed is required on both sides. If the room is narrow, then the side of the bedroom furniture is best placed along the wall. In wide rectangular rooms, the bed is placed across. Residents need to consider their individual characteristics. If someone reads on the bed, then the lighting in the room is better to do multi-level. In the small bedroom, the usual sleeping place is replaced by a sofa bed with built-in storage system. However, according to Feng Shui philosophy, the traditional version is better. Under the bed stands out the central part of the bedroom or any other room.
Bed Tips
In addition to the general rules, there are several practical tips for choosing the right place for placing a bed. Owners of cats need to pay attention to places where their pet likes to sleep. Feline accurately identify the bad areas where negative energy is concentrated. The wild instincts that pets still have will move them farther away from such places and closer to comfortable areas. Do not place the bed close to the window opening: light, movement and noise pollution will regularly disturb, and in winter there is the coldest place in the room. No closer than 2.5-3 meters from the place of sleep, you can put a TV, although in cramped apartments there is rarely such an opportunity.Based on the practice of Feng Shui, it is not recommended to install mirrors above the bed, next to it or vice versa.
It is necessary to refuse inconvenient options for the location of the bed.
How to bet is not recommended
According to Feng Shui, it is not necessary to direct the bed with the foot towards the door so that the energy does not go through the opening. This is a bad omen in other customs, not only in East Asian teachings. If an alternative location is not possible, it is better to close the room while sleeping. Another not the most comfortable option is the headboard next to the window. A person will have an increased sense of danger. In this case, the vulnerability has both spiritual and physical expression. Putting a bed nearby with a window is not good at all. In rooms with a sloping roof, it is better to place a berth under the highest part of the ceiling. A feeling of oppression due to an overhanging array is possible. This rule applies to places under stairs. Chandeliers above the center of the bed or directly above the headboard are subconsciously perceived as a threat. This can cause insomnia. Do not place bedroom furniture exactly between the door and window openings. Feng Shui doctrine defines these elements as those that radiate energy that interferes with sleep.
Other recommendations:
Do not place the bed near ducts or pipes.
If possible, the TV is better to remove from the bedroom.
How space size affects location
The arrangement of the room begins with the installation of the bed. If the room is large (from 15 sq. M.), There will be no problems with choosing a place, almost any corner or wall will do. Proper placement in a smaller room will allow you to maintain harmony with the rest of the furniture, visually increase the space. Before buying furniture, parameters are measured, including rooms. It should be borne in mind that the minimum distance for a normal passage is 70 cm. By the way, it will be useful to create a diagram with a plan of the room.The space is planned with a margin, and first of all we are talking about the casement windows, swing doors. As a result, the less free space, the more the bed gravitates to the walls. In a spacious room with a large volume or with a small amount of furniture, the design is formed with the center in the form of a berth. In this case, the layout is made as symmetrical as possible. Also, large rooms allow you to place the bed according to the cardinal points, as the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui says.
The best options for placing in a large room:
in the center, parallel to a long wall;
in the center, parallel to a short wall;
in the corner, diagonally.
Bed arrangement in a narrow room
In a room with a width slightly exceeding the length of the bed, furniture can be placed in only a few options. The berth is placed sideways to the wall (if one of them is longer, then next to the longer one). On the other hand there will be more or less free passage. Depending on the overall size of the room, one or two ends of the bed are left free. The foot, for example, may be adjacent to one of the walls or to the window. But there is an alternative option, in which the head is mounted on the wall next to the doorway. There will be no inconvenience with the arrangement of a single bed, but there are some difficulties with a double bed, as someone will have to climb over the bed or go to the side of the foot. If there is no place for passages at all, then sleeping furniture is placed at the very end of the room, in most cases - near the window, with a foot towards the doorway.
A bunk bed is an excellent solution for a narrow room!
How to put a baby bed
The sleeping place of young children should be near the bed of parents. If the child is older than 3 years, then he can sleep at a distance from mom and dad. The air temperature near the bed should not exceed 22 ° C, so you need to observe a 3-meter distance from heat sources (batteries, fireplaces).A place to sleep is located at least 1-2 meters from dusty objects like shelves with books and heavy curtains. Well, if the room has a source of fresh air - a fan or a balcony. However, children’s bedroom furniture cannot be placed in a draft. Above the place where the baby sleeps, there should not be paintings, shelves and other solid objects. Another criterion for choosing a place is the lack of electrical outlets. In addition, you should not keep in a room with a crib a large number of flowerpots with plants. Ficus is considered useful for preschool children.
Ways to put two beds in one bedroom
First you need to provide a place for personal belongings of those who sleep in this room. Leave no less than 60 cm for the passage. One of the main ways of installing two beds in the bedroom is based on symmetry. It will take two chairs and a pair of nightstands, in the expectation that there will be two people in the bedroom. Another method is the angular arrangement of the beds. In this case, the principle “head to head” is most suitable, less often - “foot to foot”. An angular arrangement with a free angle allows you to store a large number of objects in the resulting space. There you can install tall furniture with closed shelves. The fourth way - placing bedroom furniture in one line along some of the walls. The beds are level, head to head, and there will be enough room on the side for a wide passage. In all of the above situations, it is recommended to equip sleeping places with sections for storing things of different sizes and shapes.
Installation of a bed and zoning in a studio apartment
Furnishing and planning one-room housing is a complex and time-consuming process. The main task is to preserve the functionality and free space with a large amount of furniture. Bedroom furniture must be installed based on these principles.However, you need to adhere to several rules that are relevant both for ordinary one-room housing, and for studio apartments of the same area. The first aspect concerns the use of multifunctional furniture elements. These are beds with modules, shelves, drawers, transforming berths. The second nuance is zoning. This technique facilitates orientation in space. Dressers, a rack or a screen will cope with the task of allocating a sleeping area in a studio apartment. The third aspect is the color scheme. It is able to further emphasize functional areas and visually increase the space.
Feng Shui Bed Location
Feng Shui practice is popular not only in East and Southeast Asia, but also around the world. The key concepts of teaching are orientation to the cardinal points and the energy of the 5 elements. In this philosophy, the house is presented as a projection of energy fields with different effects on people. The arrangement of the bed according to the postulates of Feng Shui should ensure a healthy sleep, harmony in relationships, a charge of favorable energy and good luck. The ideal place for a bed is diagonally relative to the doorway. A mirror that does not reflect the bed, bedside tables covered with fabric are important attributes of feng shui. Near the bed are furniture with rounded edges and silk flowers. We need artificial ones, because the living form an excessively strong yang energy. The bed is placed in a bright place so as not to accumulate negative energy. However, the lamp can only be hung on the side of the bed.
Influence of cardinal points in Feng Shui:
North - success in business, well-being;
South - glory, prosperity;
East - money and health;
West - children and creativity.
