How to Arrange Your Bedroom for Better Sleep?

Bed Placement Is Key to a Good Night's Sleep

Feng Shui, the Chinese art of harmonizing home energy for well-being, considers bed placement in the bedroom a vital element affecting sleep quality. Where should you place your bed?

• Positioning the head of the bed against a solid wall ensures comfort and safety. However, be cautious: the sides of the bed should not be blocked to allow energy to circulate freely.
• Avoid placing the bed on the axis between a door and window, under a window, or in front of a mirror (mirrors should not reflect your body).
• If your bedroom is spacious enough, try placing the bed as far from the door as possible. It's ideal if you can see the door from your bed.

A useful rule to remember — regardless of whether you follow Feng Shui or not: ensure good air circulation around the bed.

Calming Colors for Better Sleep

Have you ever considered the power of colors? Some are energizing, while others promote calm. For a bedroom, we choose colors that evoke rest and relaxation:

• Blue: Undoubtedly, the most recommended color for improving sleep. Dark blue works wonderfully.

• Green: The Zen color, without exaggeration. Green in the bedroom can be emerald, pine-green, charcoal-green, and so on.

• Purple: A color we think about less (though its mysterious scent has become popular in interior design in recent years), known for promoting sleep. We prefer dark purples close to indigo, periwinkle, or maverick.

In the bedroom, certain colors should be avoided: overly warm or bright tones like red or orange, whose energy can interfere with relaxation and full rest. These colors may find a place in your room but should be used sparingly — for example, as an accent light, pillow, or throw blanket.
