Arrangement of furniture in the bedroom

When arranging a room, it is important that it be comfortable for living, but the space should remain as open as possible. Proper placement of furniture in the bedroom will help make this room a favorite place to relax.

The owners of city apartments most of all want the house to have a lot of free space and light. A small room needs to be expanded visually, and in a large room one should not “steal” a place from oneself. Proper arrangement of furniture, taking into account the direction of the world and many other factors will help make the bedroom as comfortable as possible.

First you need to decide on what kind of furniture is needed in the bedroom. Required minimum:

• bed;
• bedside tables;
• cupboard or chest of drawers;
• mirror.

If the house has a dressing room (or a large wardrobe is in another room), then the bedroom has a fairly small dresser - there can be stored underwear, as well as clothes for sleeping. If there is no other place in the house, then the wardrobe is also usually put in the bedroom.

You can add furnishings and other furniture. It is not necessary, but it will surely create coziness and comfort. It:

• Padded stool with upholstery. It can be used for different purposes, in particular - and as a storage for things, if the seat reclines.
• Dressing table. Saving space, modern women refuse such a blessing of civilization as their own table for cosmetics or dressing table. This interior item decorates the bedroom and gives it a special intimacy and chic.
• Soft bench. She is placed at the foot of the bed in order to lay things on her and a bedspread taken at night.

The bedroom can be supplemented with TV, audio and video equipment - it all depends on your habits. At the design stage, it is important to think about the lighting (there should be both top and point sources of light).

If the room is quite small (except for the wardrobe and the bed you can’t put anything), then you can increase the space with the help of wallpaper, floor and ceiling colors. The lighter the room, the better. Horizontal stripes on the floor and ceiling (drawing on the floor, laminate, carpet, and ceiling beams or tiles) will help visually stretch the room in the right direction.

The bed does not need to be placed along the long walls.So there will be a feeling that even a bed in this room was crammed with difficulty. On the contrary - if you put it across the room, there will be more "air". In this case, the cabinet should be made in a niche, preferably with sliding-door compartments. Ideally, it will be mounted on a short wall, in the darkest part of the room.

If the bed - two people, it is necessary that the place was on both sides. In this scenario, in a small bedroom there is no room for bedside tables. They are very necessary - an alarm clock is set there, as well as a tube of cream, books or magazines, a mobile phone. In this case, rescued shelf on the wall - not far from the head. You can make shelves on both sides - it will be original and functional.

Similarly, with the help of shelves, you can compensate for the lack of a dressing table. Hang a mirror on the wall, and under it - 2-3 shelves, which will accommodate all the necessary cosmetics in the morning.

Another golden rule of saving space in the bedroom. Before many, there is a dilemma - to make a wardrobe or a bed more. The choice should be made in favor of the bed.It should be as large as you can afford in terms of room size and finances. The bottom line is that you can still put everything in a small wardrobe, but to sleep in a cramped bed is a real torture.

If the bedroom is large, no matter how great the temptation to make it expensive furniture, limit the most necessary. The dressing table is best placed in the corner of the room, and the ottoman or chair should move under it. To emphasize the size of the room, you can use bright colors in the decoration of the walls. Very well in the large bedroom will look furniture set (bed, bedside tables and wardrobe, chest of drawers), made in the same style.

In the large bedroom will be appropriate massive curtains with draperies. For a small room, it is best to choose a more modest option - from light curtains or curtains. To the sunlight in the morning did not hit in the eye, you can hang tulle. .

Some people think that the fashion for such a home improvement system has passed, but so many people notice the positive effect from it that many interior designers use the ancient rules on a permanent basis.

The key concept in feng shui is qi. This concept has no analogues in the Western philosophical tradition, and in the Eastern there are several interpretations at once. To simplify understanding, Qi is a kind of balance of energies that gives a person peace of mind and physical well-being. So, the main rule of furniture arrangement according to Feng Shui is that Qi should circulate freely in the room. As for the bedroom - you need to make sure that the energy is concentrated above the sleeping place, enveloping and filling the one who is resting.

Today non-standard forms of rooms are in fashion - in elite new buildings they can be semi-circular, pentagonal. According to Feng Shui, the ideal room-bedroom has a regular shape - square or rectangular. It needs to be “outlined” by furniture, to emphasize the correctness of its forms.

If your room is “irregular” in shape, you can try to correct it - for example, by putting a corner closet or sofa where there is an “extra” angle.The same applies to residents of old houses, where the rooms themselves are uneven (when the room seems to be rectangular, but in fact - narrows at the entrance or the window, forming a trapezoid).

There should be no room for negative energy in the bedroom. It is necessary to literally "deprive" of its habitat. To do this, get rid of dark corners or niches. It is best to put light-colored cabinets or dressing tables in such places.

A bed in any culture (not only according to Chinese traditions) is not placed with its feet to the door (here is a direct analogy with the removal of the dead from the house) and with the head to the window - this may just be unsafe. Ideal if you sleep sideways and to the door, and to the window. As an option - sideways to the door and feet to the window. It will be very good if the person lying on the bed can look at the door well.

In order for Qi to circulate freely not only above you, but also under the bed, Feng Shui requires you to put a bed with legs. Let them be at least small. From the couch, beds with a flat base, ultrafashionable options from the pallet will have to be abandoned (however, you can equip them with small legs).

Any sharp corners in the interior (and especially those for which you can catch) are negative energy in physical manifestation. Need to get rid of her. Prefer bed and other furniture with soft outlines, rounded corners.

On the wall opposite the headboard, you need to hang something that pleases the eye - a favorite picture, a poster or a family photo.

It is believed that mirrors “feed” on human energy. Therefore, Feng Shui experts do not recommend placing a mirror in front of the bed (a wardrobe with a mirror), otherwise the energy will go off in a dream. Here, by the way, this philosophy completely disagrees with the recommendations of European family psychologists, who advise you to put the largest mirror in the apartment just opposite the marital bed, in order to fill your intimate life with new impressions. Those who decide to follow all the same Feng Shui, should look at the cabinets with a mirror on the side.

The canopy on the bed can solve the “problem” with the mirror - Feng Shui approves of it. To bring variety and brightness to the intimate life, it is necessary to “intersperse” in the design of the bedroom of the color Yang - male energy. These can be red dots, flowers on bedding or a bedspread.Yang colors should not prevail - so the bedroom will turn into a real battlefield for spouses.

It is necessary to get rid of all unnecessary - old things, clothes that you do not wear, old bed linen "in reserve" and towels stained. All this should go to the trash or to charity. The same applies to bedside tables. The surface should ideally be empty. Maximum - alarm clock. If empty nightstands seem boring to you, put there the appropriate characters or figurines of Feng Shui. It is the internal cleanliness in the cabinets, bedside tables and under the bed that will help Qi energy soar around the room.

The Vedic science of Vastu is something like the Indian analogue of feng shui. Today it is at the peak of popularity. Its main focus is to strengthen the relationship between a husband and wife.

According to ancient Indian recommendations, order in the bedroom is most important. No dust, junk, unnecessary things.All this affects the matrimonial relationship accordingly.

The lighter the colors of the walls and textiles, the better. Ideal shades of Vastu - greenish, light blue, pale pink. Shiny or even chrome-plated items are allowed - they bring novelty to the relationship.
