Hi Mickie,
Yes, you can.

Hi Olivia,
Tray ceiling is not considered sleeping under the beam. If you’re worried, a canopy bed is the easiest solution, like you said. 🙂

A bedroom with a tray ceiling – is this considered sleeping under a beam? If so, would a canopy bed be the easiest solution? I think changing the ceiling would be expensive. Thanks!

Hi Lea,
The easiest remedy is to use a canopy bed (with the top covered if you prefer). The pillars on the side will help support the slanted ceiling.

Loving all the photos and explanations. Thank you!
I have a high bedroom ceiling and it slants from high to low (right to left), and the bed is right in the middle. Do you have a remedy for something as odd as this? Thank you. Lea

Hi Vickie,

You really like black, huh? I think colors only bring limited feng shui effects: https://fengshuinexus.com/feng-shui-home/colors-influence-homes-feng-shui/

As for bedroom, I think black is just fine because it absorbs light (Yang) and bedroom requires more Yin energy for a good night’s rest. If it gets too dark at night, you can balance it with brighter lights, but not the level of brightness that’ll keep you awake.

In terms of visuals, if you have a white/bright flooring, black furniture are just fine. It’ll just make your room look smaller.

Hope this helps!

I know this is an old post but, as I am shopping for a new bedroom dresser, I am wondering about furniture color.

Right now, I have a small black bed frame, two black nightstands, and a black-and-white chair in the corner. Artwork on the wall also has black frames. The walls are a soft white, with the exception of on accent wall, which is turquoise. The turquoise wall has a large window, and an “eyebrow” window on top of that, which I have covered with a room-darkening black-and-white window treatment.

I am considering purchasing a fairly tall dresser, and I have a choice of two colors: Black or, what the store calls “wheat.” The wheat is actually more like a brown–not a yellowish- tan, which is what I think of when I think of wheat. The dresser is solid wood and very high quality, so I am happy with the style and the piece itself. But I am struggling with the color.

My question: Would a black dresser be too much black in the bedroom? I have read that black is a good feng shui color for bedrooms because of it’s “inward focusing” nature. But then I have also read that some feng shui experts consider black furniture to be bad luck–to the point that they recommend covering it with a colored cloth.

Any insights?

Thanks!

Thanks Glenn. Will check it out.
