The bed is opposite the doors - you can put it this way or not

Buying a bed is a prerequisite for decorating a bedroom. At the same time, according to experts, it is important not only to buy the "right" bed, on which you can see sweet dreams and have a good rest, but also to position it correctly in the room.

Depending on the area, it is placed in different positions. However, there are rules that will always ensure deep healthy sleep.

The popular omen that one should not put a sleeping bed in front of the door has not been forgotten either. Therefore, when installing a bed, it is important to figure out where and how best to place it, creating maximum comfort.

Is it possible to place the bed with your feet against the door

There are rules that will always ensure deep healthy sleep. The popular omen that one should not put a sleeping bed in front of the door has not been forgotten either. Therefore, before installing the bed, it is important to figure out where and how best to place it, creating maximum comfort.

Belief in the importance of the position of the bed in some of its owners reaches a manic state, and they are firmly convinced that such a position of the bed will not only adversely affect the quality of sleep, but also bring unhappiness to the house. They believe that all signs are based on folk experience, so they cannot be ignored.

At the level of mental perception, according to experts, this conviction works: the more a person believes in the negative associated with finding a bed opposite the door, the sooner it will manifest itself in life. However, various studies have proven that, in fact, installing it with your feet against the door is not the best place.

Why do they say that it is impossible

The bed is the most "intimate" place in the bedroom, so it should be hidden as much as possible from prying eyes. Scientists argue that the requirement not to place it opposite the door is dictated by "historical memory." It is generally accepted that even at the dawn of mankind, such a situation in caves and the first dwellings that were not equipped with locks was considered the most vulnerable and disadvantageous, from the point of view of protecting the life of the person himself and his habitat.

Recently, there has been a great interest in the philosophy of Feng Shui, which, like many Slavic beliefs, explains why it is impossible to put the bed in the bedroom with your feet to the door:

• it provokes the onset of diseases of organs located along the midline of the body;
• if the bed adjoins the wall opposite the door, this is doubly inconvenient: with each opening or noise behind the wall, sleep will be disturbed;
• such a position obstructs the view: it is impossible to see the incoming person without getting up.

Interpretation of beliefs

Among the beliefs of different peoples about placing the bed opposite the door, there is a lot in common or close in understanding.

1. Among the Slavs and some other peoples, a bed set "with feet to the door" is the position of a deceased. Through the opening door, his soul leaves this world.
2. In Indian and Chinese philosophy, among other eastern peoples, discussions were found about the movement of energy flows of different directions and influences, including negative ones. They can harm a person occupying such a sleeping place, but the sleeping person will not be able to cope with them. In addition, this position leads to a loss of vitality.
3. Slavic beliefs asserted that the door is a kind of portal to another world. The soul separating from the sleeping person sets off on an independent journey. She can slip through the doorway into the "other world" and not return from there.

How to properly position the bed in the room

To sleep well and get up in the morning in a vigorous state, you need to correctly arrange the bed, taking into account the possibilities of the room. In this case, you need to try to find a place so that the bed does not stand in front of the door.

In a small room, without disturbing the harmony of the movement of energies, it can be placed:

• across the bedroom;
• along the wall;
• headboard to the window.

The spacious square has a wide field of activity and the ability to choose the most comfortable one.

The narrow long space requires a transverse arrangement of the bed: this will visually "shorten" the room and provide free access to the bed.

Location tips

To create maximum comfort in the bedroom, it is important to choose the right color scheme for the room, curtains, and other accessories and conveniently position the bed.

Designers and psychotherapists believe that the best location where it can be placed is diagonal, relative to the door.

It is good if the headboard "faces" north or east. In this case, it is better if the headboard is fully pushed against the wall.

Excellent options: along the wall, in the opposite corner from the entrance, or in the middle of the room with the back to the wall.

If there is an exit to the balcony from the bedroom, then it is better to install the bed parallel to it: there will be enough light in the room, which will not fill the space of the room, but will not disturb sleep.

If the bedroom has two windows, then the location of the bed in the wall between them will be quite convenient.
