Feng Shui Tips for Your Bed Placement and Sleep Position in 2024
In 2024, the Wood Dragon year, your bed placement and sleep position can affect your feng shui luck. Here are some tips:
- Sleep in the North for money and success. The 8 White Star energy is here. Spend more time in the North during the day too.
- Sleep in the Southwest for happiness and love. The 9 Purple Star energy is here. Work and have fun in the Southwest as well.
- Don’t sleep in the West for health and safety. The 5 Yellow Star energy is here. It brings bad luck and trouble. Avoid this area or put a blue, black, or grey mat with six copper coins under it in the West.
- Don’t sleep in the Southeast for harmony and respect. Tai Sui, the Grand Duke Jupiter, is here. He is powerful but moody. Don’t offend him by sleeping or sitting with your back to him. Face him when working or studying to get along with him and improve your skills.
How to Feng Shui Your Bedroom for Good Luck
Feng Shui can make your bedroom more lucky and positive. Here’s how:
- Declutter your bedroom. Get rid of things that don’t make you feel calm and happy. Clutter stops the energy (chi) from flowing and brings bad luck.
- Place your bed in the “command position.” You should see the door from your bed, but not be in line with it. This makes you feel safe and in charge of your life.
- Use the five elements of Feng Shui. Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water are the elements of Feng Shui. Use colors, materials, and objects that match these elements to make your bedroom balanced and harmonious.
- Make your bedroom symmetrical and balanced. Use matching tables and lamps on both sides of your bed. This makes you and your partner (if you have one) equal and happy.
- Be careful with mirrors. Don’t put mirrors where they reflect your bed. This can disturb your sleep. Put mirrors where they show something nice or peaceful.
- Add plants and crystals. Some plants and crystals have positive energy. Bamboo, peace lilies, and clear quartz crystals are good choices.
- Show items that make you happy. Put things in your bedroom that remind you of good times and people. This makes you feel joyful and grateful.
- Choose artwork that makes you relax. Pick images that are positive and happy. Avoid images that are negative or lonely.
What Feng Shui Objects To Place in the Bedroom in 2024:
Wu Lou
This is a remedy often used to protect the health of your family. Many deities are presented wearing or carrying with them this Wu Lou.
It is recommended that sick people or those who are still recovering place a Wu Lou next to the bed so that they recover faster. Keeping one in your bedroom all the time will help you prevent any disease.
Wu Lou must be placed in the bedroom, next to the bed on a nightstand, regardless of the cardinal reference point where the bedroom is located. This stays, after activation, for a year, and all you have to do is dust it from time to time.
Candles
These should be used in the South, South-West, North-East, and centre Feng Shui zones of your house.
When you use candles, as spots of Feng Shui, pay attention to their colors, as well as the candle’s colors - especially if you use tealight candles.
Because candles are a strong expression of the Fire Feng Shui element, they should be best placed in the Bagua areas which develop over fire energy.
This will keep healthy and harmonious Chi in your house.
Mandarin Ducks
Two mandarin ducks placed in the East of your bedroom are the symbol of marital happiness
Mandarin ducks are a strong Feng Shui remedy that helps you attract or increase your love feelings in relationships. For those who are lonely, a pair of mandarin ducks will increase your chances of finding a love partner, and for couples, these will attract marriage opportunities.
How to Choose Bedroom Colors for Good Luck
Bedroom colors affect your sleep, money, and love. Pick calm and soft colors that make you feel good. Don’t use too many or too bright colors that make you feel bad. Here are some colors and what they mean:
- White is balanced and good for the base color of your bedroom.
- Soft pink is romantic and sweet. It’s good for love and feelings.
- Orange is positive and brave. It’s good for friendship and courage.

Is it Bad Feng Shui To Have a Mirror in the Bedroom?
The Mirror Symbol is a sensitive subject in Feng Shui science. It is said that they reflect towards the exterior and transmit negative energies, so try to keep them as far away as possible from the bedroom or the doors.
They say that if negative energies enter your house and meet a mirror, they multiply and can cause great harm to your energetic balance.
What Else is Bad Feng Shui for the Bedroom?
- A Feng Shui rule says that it’s best not to sleep with a crossbeam over your head “It is a pressing shape. Furniture with incorporated cribs is also not good, because cabinets are placed over the head. It is not good, because you have that pressing sensation, an energetic pressure.
- The mirror acts as an energetic vampire. If you really want a mirror in your bedroom, try putting it in a place where it doesn’t reflect you when you sleep, like next to the bed, facing the room.
- Another unfavorable situation is when the bedroom is placed above a kitchen, bathroom or garage. These positions create bad luck and lead to energy loss. For the same reason, the bedroom door should not face the stairs, the bathroom door, or the kitchen door.
- Don’t place plants or an aquarium in the bedroom. We advise against placing paintings representing water. This represents a negative Feng Shui. The reason plants shouldn’t be placed in the bedroom is that this is a Yin space, for rest, and plants are too Yang for this room. The presence of water in your bedroom causes financial losses and increases your risk of being robbed.
