Everyone must have a reason to place their bed or mattress in the room.
Bed placement is also usually adjusted to the size of the room, appropriateness and aesthetics, as well as related to the ease of accessibility and mobility in the room.
Where is The Best Place To Position Your Bed?
Here are the best positions of beds in the room:
Where is The Best Place To Position Your Bed? #1: Middle bed position (central)
The ideal place to position the bed is usually in the middle of the longest wall in the room.
As the most important piece of furniture, the bed should be the focal point and this position really puts it in the spotlight.
Placing the bed in the middle of the wall gives the room focus.
It also leaves enough space for the bedside table to fit on both sides, practical, and creates a sense of balance.
Putting the bed in this position makes you lose flexibility in terms of decoration.
Use the wall space wisely by incorporating a beautiful decorative headboard or stunning wall artwork.
However, there are several reasons why this layout may not be practical.
If there is a water or gas pipe running in the middle of the wall, noise can interfere with the quality of your sleep.
Similarly, if the longest wall is near the door, the bed can create a visual barrier that can damage the aesthetics of the room.
Where is The Best Place To Position Your Bed? #2: Not Facing the Door
In Feng Shui science, a bed facing directly to the door is not recommended because it is considered to bring out the ‘good weather’ in the room.
Actually, it has to do with air flow. The bed facing directly to the door will create air from the outside that the strong currents directly hit the body. This can cause health problems such as colds.
In addition, the bed directly facing the door will reduce the privacy and comfort of the room owner.

Where is The Best Place To Position Your Bed? #3: Don’t Stick to Walls and Windows
Avoid placing the bed against the wall. Especially if the wall is directly adjacent to the bathroom that makes the walls damp and cold. If the mattress is attached to the damp wall will make the mattress damp. The effect is certainly not good for the health of the body.
While the walls are windowed, they are usually prone to dust. This will have an adverse effect on your respiratory health. Dust particles are susceptible to sticking to window trellises, curtains and wooden sills.
If your bed is left attached, the dust particles can fly away from your bed. The sheets will get dirty quickly.
In addition, the bed attached to the wall will make changes in the color of the wall and make it difficult for you when you have to change the sheets.
#4. The position of the bed in the corner of the room
Unique and practical features such as fireplaces, windows, built-in wardrobes and radiators can have a significant impact on where you place your bed indoors.
If the wall space is limited and you don’t want the bed to be right under the window, consider placing it in the corner.
There are several ways that can be done is to position the bed at an angle or tuck it so that the two edges of the bed touch the wall.
The placement of this bed means that attention is not distracted from furniture or other decorations that have the potential to attract attention centered on the walls in the room.
If you have a large bedroom, putting the bed in the corner can also make a bold statement.
Corner beds, however, are difficult to fix as something often has to be compromised.
With the center position tilted, there will be an empty space behind it.
To balance it, make sure you add cloth, shelf, or curtain behind it.
If the bed is placed on two walls, it means there is only one side that is open so for those who share the bed, it can be difficult to get in and out.
This position can work well with single size wooden beds like in a children’s bedroom.
