Hello, I am new to this!

I have recently moved house. I am female and DOB is Jan 73.

I was advised that the best position to place my bed is south.

The position of the door is on the south wall.

The south wall where I can place my bed is next to the door, ( i cannot see who enters my room in this position)behind the south wall is a staircase that leads to the garden.

The wall to the right of the door( as you are looking into the room )is the southwest, the wall to the left of the door is the southeast and have a boarded unusable fireplace.

The wall opposite the door is the northwest and have full width windows.

Ideally I would like to placethe bed with the headboard pushed against the boarded fireplace in the southeast, as I could see the door and have a full view of the room.

What is my best placement for the bed and can I have the bed placed in front of the boarded fireplace.

thank you.

1. You are trying to apply the Eight House concept to your bedroom arrangement.

2. Please note that this Eight House concept where I understand that you are a East group person i.e. South, SE etc... is a "nice-to" apply but not a "Must-need-to" apply.

3. First and foremost (unfortunately) as you had mentioned, a bedroom usually have a bedroom door, windows and other openings such an attached toilet.

4. Thus as you had already mentioned, as much as you would like to place your bed against "south" this is where your bedroom door is!

5. Frankly, from your description, it is still hard to figure out the entire bedroom layout. However, as mentioned, one of the most important critera is the Shapes and Forms of the bedroom.

6. Thus, although it is "nice-to" sleep with your bed-head facing a good direction, BUT, the natural layout - based on Shapes and Forms has a higher weightage. Equally if you could sleep 'boarded firepace in the southeast as mentioned by you above, try to do so.

7. One more point is to avoid the legs facing the bedroom door (where possible). This is known as a coffin position.

Thank you!
