different directions

[myfs_121847]

Hello. My boyfriend and I just moved into a new apartment. We are both two different directions. I am west and he is east. How can we decorate so that we live harmoniously? Also, is it bad to have our bed up against a window? We do have a solid headboard, but I wasn't sure if this was bad. Our bed is also directly across from the bathroom door, where the door swings open onto the bed? Is this bad? How can we set up the bedroom to be good for the both of us?

This is a very common and quite easy to solve by applying the give and take approach.

1) The house should most importantly be suitable to the breadwinner of the family since he/she earn most to support the family. So the breadwinner must get the best facing so as to get the most luck.

2) Since the breadwinner has luck for the house, therefore he/she can take a less suitable bedroom and make sure the spouse is can draw luck from the room. Since the two person are opposite, therefore, the house direction is likely not to suit the spouse, so letting the spouse take a more suitable bedroom will compensate her luck.

3) Since the spouse now get a good suitable bedroom, you can then give a better sleeping position for the breadwinner.

4) Although both charts are opposite, if possible try to avoid having the either person have the facing or bedroom fall under the death or disaster sector if possible.

So if you follow the above, the breadwinner will at least be ableto get luck from the house facing, while the spouse get luck from the room she stays in.

Generally, you want to make sure the bed is anchored to a solid wall without any windows. So yes, the current bed position where you have it up against a window isn't the most ideal position.

As for the bed directly across the bathroom door, this is quite common as most bedroom are quite small now-a-days, so often irregardless of how you place the bed, the bathroom door will still open up onto the bed. However, if it opens at the side of the bed, it will be better than opening directly in the front of the bed. Anyway, just keeping the door close, should be a good fit if you are not able to position it any otherway.

It is hard to advice you on the best placement unless you provide a quick sketch of your bedroom. But the general guideline should be:-

1. The shapes and form placement of the bed where you should be able to see the bedroom door when you sleep or lie on the bed.

2. The bed should not be placed where when you open the door you see the bed directly in front of you. Else it is like you are sleeping in a coffin position.

3. The bed should be anchored to a solid wall (ie no window behind it)

These are usually the key rules. The rest really depends on the how the bedroom is laid out.

Hope that helps.
