Hi Danielle,
First, the whole house should be looked at on a macro level. Start with this: https://fengshuinexus.com/feng-shui-home/feng-shui-directions-eight-mansions-house-kua/
Then, use another school of Feng Shui, such as Flying Stars, to compare.

Thank you so much for your help. My partner and me share the same lucky direction (east). He is a 1, and I am a 3. But our bed is currently facing west; this is due to the fact that the door is on the east wall. It isn’t in front of the bed, so not to worry about the coffin position, it is about 3ft to east from the edge.

Since both our lucky directions are East, and unlucky west!, should we move our headboard to the east wall? this would mean that the door is on the same wall and a spare bedroom/office is located on the other side of that wall (verse the west wall is an exterior wall). The headboard is really sturdy if that would help?

Thank you so much,
Danielle

Hi Ken,
It is better not to use a living room as the bedroom, if that’s what you’re alluding to.

Thank you so much for providing this wonderful resource ! 🙂

My current circumstances force me to have my bedroom and living room together. Somehow,my feeling is that this must be bad feng shui, but how bad is it ? What are the implications, if any…?

I’m trying to assess if should try to quickly change this…

Best regards

Hi Ms Low,
I think that’s better than having clutter underneath the bed. It’s easier to clean and dust is less likely to gather. The main reason why “Qi cannot flow” is because dust and dirt can gather underneath the bed, which can cause allergies or other health complications in the long run.

My nephew’s room is L shaped and moving or rebuilding is not possible. He is Kua 9, so East is his most favourable position, right? His bed is currently facing (head is facing) NW so the most unfavourable position of all but it is NOT facing the door (it’s not in command position but it is not in the coffin position either).

The options to move the bed are: I can only move his bed facing (head facing towards) to Option #1 SE South-East where there is a full length window (the bed has a reasonably high and sturdy headboard, BUT it would be in the coffin position (his legs would be pointing to the same wall where the entrance door is, however not directly in line of the door) or is it better to consider Option #2 and move to head of the bed facing SW South-West which again is an unlucky but the bed headboard would be against the wall, in a command position and not facing a door) or Option #3 leave it as is against the wall, head facing NW in a really unlucky direction?

I would be grateful for any recommendations.

Hi Yen,
The headboard is like the wall against your back. That means,, the headboard should make you feel safe and secure when you’re sleeping. Pick a one that makes you feel that way.

I am trying out both to see where I sleep best, until now that’s been #1. But my question is, I’m looking into ordering a headboard, is there a rule where the solid part of the headboard starts? Does it have to cover behind the mattress entirely?
