Excerpts from the detailed report
Each check in the report shows where the problem is, what the right layout looks like and how to fix it.
Bed is directly aligned with a door
The bed falls in the direct path of a room or bathroom door. Traditional layouts avoid this line, and it also reduces direct disturbance when the door opens.
Suggested fixShift or rotate the bed away from the doorway line
Headboard is under a window
The headboard sits below a window instead of a continuous wall, with possible light and draft disturbance.
Suggested fixMove the bed to a solid wall without a window
Furniture use space

The basics
How to lay out a feng shui bedroom
A good feng shui bedroom layout starts with the bed and works outward. Draw your real room first — walls, door, windows, closet — then place the bed so it satisfies the checks below. These are the same bedroom feng shui principles the planner uses, explained in plain terms and with safety kept first.
Put the bed in the commanding position
From the bed you should be able to see the bedroom door without lying directly in line with it. This commanding position is the heart of feng shui bedroom layout: you rest with a clear view of the entrance instead of being startled by it.
Keep the headboard against a solid wall
A solid wall behind the headboard gives the bed a sense of backing and support. Avoid floating the bed in the middle of the room, and avoid the triangular gap a slanted headboard leaves behind it.
Don't line the bed up with the door
In feng shui the bed should not sit directly in the door's path. Practically it also spares you the draft and the straight view down the doorway. If a small room forces it, a footboard or low console softens the line.
Avoid placing the bed under a window
A headboard under a window loses the solid wall behind it and sits in the draft and morning light. When a window wall is the only option, a solid headboard and heavier curtains reduce the effect.
Turn mirrors and screens away from the bed
A mirror or dark TV screen facing the bed reflects movement at night. Angle it toward a side wall, or cover a mirrored closet, so it is not reflecting the sleepers back at themselves.
Check beams and heavy objects overhead
An exposed beam, a heavy pendant light, or a ceiling fan directly over the bed can feel oppressive overhead. Shift the bed out from under it wherever the room allows.
Leave room to walk on both sides
For two sleepers, keep clear access on both sides of the bed. A feng shui bedroom layout is also a room you can actually live in — doors that open fully, drawers that clear, and an easy path to the bed.
Common problems
Common feng shui bedroom problems
Most bedroom feng shui questions come down to a handful of conflicts between the bed and something fixed in the room. Here are the common ones — each links to a step-by-step guide with real floor-plan options.
Where the bed should go
The core feng shui bed placement rules, and how the planner ranks them on your room.
Laying out the whole bedroom
Bed first, then the desk, storage and reflections — the full room in order.
The commanding position
Why the bed should see the door without lying directly in line with it.
Bed facing the door
What to check before you decide the bed is really in the door's path.
Bed under a window
When a window-wall bed is a problem, and how to soften it.
Mirror facing the bed
When a mirror actually reflects the bed, and renter-friendly fixes.
Mirror facing the door
A milder, contested idea — what it means and when it is worth changing.
Small bedroom layout
Placing the bed in a small bedroom by how many people sleep there.
TV in the bedroom
Where to put a TV so a dark screen isn't facing the bed.
Desk next to a window
Positioning a bedroom desk by the window without losing the wall behind it.
How decisions are made
Three separate layers keep a feng shui score from hiding real-world problems.
Room fit
Collisions, furniture outside the room, blocked doors and safety clearance are checked before a layout is suggested.
Daily function
Bedside access, door-swing interference and direct air flow are scored as explainable, practical trade-offs.
Feng shui
Every rule shows its school, A/B/C evidence grade, real sources and safety-filtered remedies.
Who it's for
Who this feng shui bedroom planner helps
Just moved in
You have an empty room and one big decision — where the bed goes. Draw it once and see the whole feng shui bedroom layout before you carry anything heavy.
Renters and dorms
You can't knock down walls or move the window. Keep fixed features in the plan, then try arrangements with the furniture you can actually move.
Small or awkward rooms
When the bed seems to break a rule wherever it goes, the planner ranks the trade-offs instead of pretending there is a perfect spot.
Curious, not superstitious
No compass, no birth date, and no promises about personal outcomes. Just the geometry behind traditional feng shui bedroom advice, so you can decide what you care about.
Feng shui bedroom layout, without the mysticism
Feng shui bedroom layout doesn't have to be mysterious or expensive. A good feng shui bedroom really comes down to a few things you can see: the bed has a solid wall behind it, sits in the commanding position with a clear view of the door, stays out of the door's direct path, and isn't stranded under a window. Get those right and most of the traditional bedroom feng shui advice falls into place.
This planner reads your real bedroom layout and separates room-fit problems from feng shui trade-offs with free live checks and layout suggestions. No compass, no birth chart, and no promises about health, finances or luck.

FAQ
Feng shui bedroom FAQ
Where should the bed go in a feng shui bedroom?
Ideally against a solid wall, with a clear view of the door but not directly in line with it, and not under a window. The planner checks these details on your real room and can explore layout suggestions.
Is it bad feng shui for the bed to face the door?
A bed directly in the door's path is the arrangement traditional feng shui avoids, and it also means draft and a straight view into the room. If the room forces it, shifting the bed off the centre line or adding a footboard helps.
Can the bed be placed under a window?
It's better not to, because the headboard loses a solid wall behind it. When a window wall is the only realistic option, a solid headboard and heavier curtains reduce the downside — the planner will still flag it so you decide with eyes open.
Do I need a compass or kua number to use this?
No. This is a geometry-based feng shui bedroom planner, not a compass-school tool. It works from where your walls, door, windows and bed actually are — no birth date, no lucky directions, no fortune claims.
Is this feng shui bedroom planner free?
Yes. Drawing the room, live checks and layout suggestions are free with no signup. The Full Edition is a USD 9.90 one-time purchase with a detailed report, AI layout assistant, cloud archives, layout comparison and watermark-free export.
Does it work for small or rented bedrooms?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. It respects fixed windows, built-in closets and furniture you can't move, and only suggests changes you're actually allowed to make.
What if every bed position breaks a feng shui rule?
That's common in real rooms. Instead of forcing a perfect answer, the planner separates hard problems (a blocked door) from softer trade-offs, and picks the position that breaks the least.
How is this different from a normal room planner?
This planner keeps an editable floor plan, fixed checks and a preview-and-apply workflow in one place, so you can review room fit, daily function and feng shui before choosing a change.
