The best headboards are solid, without any perforations.

A small number of books is also acceptable, as long as their titles and content are positive.

Leave the war novels and sad memoirs to another room.

Books contain active energy, stimulating the mind.

Tall, looming pieces of furniture, like bookshelves, can give off constrictive energy.

The book you’re currently reading can live on your nightstand.

Any bed smaller than a full-sized one won’t allow the chi to circulate smoothly.

Look for a bed that doesn’t need a split box spring or opt for a platform bed.

Take time to clear your bedroom regularly.

Avoid placing your mirror where it would face your bed.

Next, put mirrors in places that would reflect nice things (i.e.

reflecting the trees outside).

Finally, avoid using broken mirrors.

The wrong size can make a room look unbalanced, and the mirror can look out of place.

What Is the Bed Position To Avoid for Feng Shui?

Avoiding the “coffin position” is very important in feng shui design.

The coffin position means your feet point out the door as you lie in bed.

However, never place your bed so that your feet are pointing directly out the door.

Keep your bedroom decluttered, clean, and quiet.
