How to put a bed in the bedroom?

A person spends a third of his life in a state of sleep, therefore it is worth to pay special attention to the arrangement of a bedroom. The location of the bed in the bedroom space is very important, it depends on how well rested and awake you will wake up in the morning.

A good full sleep, many people consider luxury. Waking up with a smile is a dream for many. The quality of sleep is affected not only by the location of the bed, but also by the material from which it is made, the accessories that are added, as well as the characteristics of the mattress.

It is also important to ensure that the room was sufficiently ventilated.Before going to bed, be sure to open the windows for 15-20 minutes to air properly circulated in the bedroom. However, it is worth noting that sleeping directly with an open window is not the best idea:

• First of all, a draft badly affects both the quality of sleep and the health of the bedroom owners. A person can be simply blown out, and even then there will be no comfort at all.
• Secondly, Noises coming from the street will have a negative effect on the ability to fall asleep and on the possibility of falling into the stage of deep sleep. Of course, waking up to the singing of birds is not the worst option, but clearly not at three in the morning. In addition, the sounds made by insects, cats fighting under the window, walking young people "eat" the beauty of the morning awakening with the first roosters.

If you start talking about the quality of the bed, it is worth noting a few essential details. The bed should be good and stable, not to stagger. Subconsciously, a person will feel safe, sitting on such a construction, will not be afraid to fall. It is not necessary to buy an ultra-expensive bed, just check that it is firmly supported on the legs.

The material from which the frame is made should be pleasant to the touch. For example, many say that it is cold to sleep on iron beds. If you imagine that a person can accidentally touch such a base during sleep, it is easy to understand that he will immediately wake up and may not fall asleep anymore.

The width of the bed varies, but you should make sure it is comfortable to sleep on. Analyze your habits. If you are used to resting on your back, arms and legs outstretched, the option is already 120 centimeters in width, you obviously will not do.

When choosing a mattress, give preference to springless orthopedic options or mattresses, whose design consists of uncoupled springs. Often, potential buyers are offered to “test” the future bed directly in the store. Do not neglect this opportunity. So you can choose the optimal stiffness of the mattress, comfortable for you. This rule applies especially to people who are mainly engaged in sedentary work, as well as to those who have problems with the spine or with the musculoskeletal system as a whole.

Pillow, blanket and bedding also play an important role.Thick down comforters are a thing of the past, they were replaced by modern models created using the latest nanotechnology. Many of the new blankets do not impede the free circulation of air and the body “breathes” under them. The height of the pillow will help you choose a consultant in an orthopedic store. You can also offer to try to lie on it, see if it is high enough for you and hard enough.

Silk bedding looks beautiful only in the movies. In real life, sleeping on it is very uncomfortable. It is recommended to choose cambric or calico sets. They are perfect for both winter and summer, creating an atmosphere conducive to healthy sleep.

The location of the bed in the room is determined by many factors, and the size of the room is not the only one. The popular Eastern philosophical doctrine of Feng Shui dictates its own rules on this. If you do not arrange the bed correctly for this teaching, you can take note of a few rules, not forgetting to be guided by the requirements of space.

Teaching Feng Shui gives many practical recommendations on the location of the bed in the bedroom. Most of these restrictions have received real confirmation that they work in practice. People often say that they sleep better after they have redesigned their bedroom.

However, there are many "but."

• You can not have your bed at the battery. It is believed that the flow of hot air "burn" the energy of qi, which is also a scientific explanation. An uneven temperature regime will have a bad effect on the quality of sleep, since a person will be thrown into heat or cold.
• It is not allowed that the headboard is located near the adjacent wall with a kitchen, bathroom or toilet. Pipes behind the wall will drive chi away, and you won't be able to sleep well.
• You can not choose beds with built-in storage boxes. Qi should freely “wrap around” the bed from above and below, and things under it will slow down its flow and turn it into negative energy.
• Also, the headboard should not be at the window. It is a barrier between the outside world and the sleeping space. At the subconscious level, the person will feel discomfort and threat. This effect can be muffled by curtains hanging in thick curtains that completely protect against drafts and from light from the street.
• Combining the bed and mirrors in the bedroom, make sure that the bed is not reflected in the mirror. The ideal location for mirrors is on the sides of the bed. You can also hide the mirror on the inside door of the cabinet.

• Installing a bed under a staircase, sloping ceiling or similar architectural structures is prohibited according to the teachings.. Qi cannot circulate freely in such spaces, so there is a high risk of negative influence on sleep and life in general.

Much more often people think not about how to arrange a bed for Feng Shui, but how to arrange it beautifully, for example, in a rectangular bedroom with an area of ​​18 sq. M. mOn this account, designers have prepared a few rules, the use of which will create harmony and comfort in the bedroom.

Having a bed in a one-room apartment, in which the room serves both as a living room, and bedroom, and a study, the best option is zoning the room. If you chose a bed, try to “hide” it from prying eyes with the help of a curtain-muslin. However, for a one-room apartment the best way out would be to buy a folding sofa bed.

The narrow bedroom will take the classic square shape, if you place the bed in the center across the room. The space around can be supplemented with other furniture such as cabinets and cabinets, leaving enough space for passage. It is believed that it is optimal to leave the aisles with a width of 60 centimeters.

A bedroom with access to a balcony or loggia is a dream for many.It is not so difficult to arrange a bed in a room with a balcony, if the room itself is large enough. It is best to place the bed footboard to the balcony window, and the headboard - to the opposite wall. So, waking up, you will see the picturesque landscape. Be sure to make the view from the balcony pleasant.

A universal and well-known rule is that the head of the bed must face north. However, it is also possible to set the bed and head to the east.

It is best when choosing its position to focus on its own favorable direction. Below is the standard information on the various directions, what they influence and what they can bring to your life:

• A headboard facing south helps maintain a reputation;
• The chosen direction of the southeast enhances purposefulness;
• East favors quiet deep sleep;
• Northeast helps mental activity;
• North is responsible for intuition;
• Northwest strengthens friendships;
• The choice of the West improves health, including contributes to the onset of pregnancy;
• Southwest - love direction, which helps to find a suitable partner.

There are strict taboos on putting a bed in a certain way. They are both cultural and designated Feng Shui or doctors:

• One of these veto is superimposed on the location of the bed with the foot to the door. The so-called "position of the dead" on a subconscious level terribly affects the human condition. He starts to hurt, sleep badly. Especially impressionable natures risk even to get to the hospital.
• Also Do not place the bed on a straight door-window. Constant drafts do not promote good sleep.
• If possible, try to avoid bed installation in the middle of the room. In this case, a person cannot feel protected during sleep and feels overwhelmed in the morning because of a sensitively spent night.
• It is best not to put a bed under a chandelier or hanging shelves. Feng Shui explains this by the poor circulation of chi, by the doctor - by the fact that in the subconscious mind a person feels the "pressure" of objects and because of this he does not sleep well. However, the simplest explanation is safety.It is best to minimize the risk that something may fall on a sleeping person at night.

The most favorable location of the headboard - close to the wall. Best of all, when such an arrangement of the bed echoes the successful direction of the cardinal points. Try not to install a bed headboard in the corner. Of course, such a statement looks unusual and interesting, but it is extremely impractical.

When designing the living room bedroom, a natural question begs - how to hide the bed so as not to reveal the integrity of the guest interior. No one wants his "holy of holies" to be on public display.

You can also separate the bed from the living room with a soft sofa, if you put it in the footboard.The sofa will attract attention and no one wants to sit on your bed instead of a soft sofa.

Using niches is also a great option. Alcoves can be closed with curtains, glass doors, Japanese curtains - options weight. At the same time closing it, you will create the illusion of a single room, such as if there is no bed.

In private homes, bedrooms are usually located on the second floor. Hosts feel so much calmer. The room is located far from the front door in relative safety. But there are some pitfalls here too.

Recently, bedrooms have become very popular, under which the attic floor has been completely refitted. They are located directly under the roof, usually equipped with windows. Installing a bed in such rooms often causes difficulties, since it is not known how to successfully place the bed under a sloping ceiling.

Many designers put the bed directly under the roof window. This output is successful from an aesthetic point of view, but not in terms of improving sleep. Any natural changes in the type of rain or snow will certainly disturb the sleep of the owner of the bedroom.It is much better to put a bed near the high wall with the footboard to the center, and under this window set a desk. In this case, do not even need to pick up the curtains, they will not be needed.

Infrequently, the family (especially the young) has the opportunity to allocate a room for each child. Traditionally there are children, arranged at once for two. Consequently, the question arises, how to arrange two single beds in this bedroom:

• A great option would be the location of the beds. parallel to each other. Between them, you can put a bedside table, conventionally separating the personal space of each family member. This option is used most often because it allows no one to offend.

• If the room is narrow and long, you can put the beds behind each other along the wider wall. Such an arrangement will pull it out even more, however, it will also save a lot of free space in the center of the room.

As you can see, the conditions for the fact that nothing should hang over the bed are perfectly fulfilled in this bedroom. Sleeping in such a room will be sweet and calm.

In this room, the bed is separated from the window opening by a wide soft base that perfectly copes with the role of the wall. This strap at the same time protects against drafts and light.

This setting of the bed in the corner is great for a small bedroom. The bed is separated from the surroundings with the help of a curtain, which suggests that the bed is part of a combined bedroom-living room.

Another example of a bed in the living room. It is separated by a glass partition, which perfectly divides the space of the room.
