According to the feng shui principles, placement of the bed is crucial, as it reflects your wealth, health, and love life. Your bed should be placed at the furthest point of the room, facing the door but not in line with it. It should also be a good height to allow energy to pass under. Choose a natural material, like wood, with a sturdy headboard for support.
