A beam or not a beam??

[myfs_51714]

Hi Cecil and Robert,
After all these years,I noticed that one side of the wall in my bedroom and child's study room respectively, there's something like half a concrete beam protruding out at the top. Is that considered a beam?
I hung my wedding photo and child's portraits on that wall right under that "beam". Is it bad luck?
I removed all the photos (leaving the nails and a wall clock on the wall)for the time being. Now I keep the pictures in a cupboard in the storage room. I don't know where to hang them.Please advise me.Thank you.
Sincerely,
agnes

Dear Agnes,
In my opinion, the beam(s) you had mentioned is not an issue since many bedrooms I am aware of in Singapore, have such indents.
Usually, it wold be good to have a headboard with cupboard space for placement of e.g. phone set or alarm clock.
Even if there is no cupboard space, this would generally (in my realistic opinion) not a main issue.
Usually, when we sleep, on a pillow, part of the top portion of the pillow would certainly occupy the `beam' portion. Best to sleep away from the beam.
As for hanging wedding photos etc... you should still hang the photo as the `benefits' outweigh the disadvantage.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
