mirror should not face the bed
In feng shui, the bedroom is a sacred space meant for rest, healing, and intimacy. It’s important for the energy (qi) in the room to be calm and steady.
Mirrors, however, are believed to reflect and bounce energy around. When a mirror directly faces the bed, it creates a form of energy disturbance called “qi disruption” or “mirror clash”, which can prevent your body and spirit from fully resting at night.
Door should not face beds
In traditional Chinese culture, placing the bed directly in line with the door is called the “Coffin Position” because that’s how the dead are traditionally carried out—feet or head first, through the door.
Sleeping in this position is thought to invite negative energy, loss, or even misfortune. Even if you don’t believe in symbolism, this setup feels psychologically exposed and unsettling to many people.
Keep the Toilet Lid Closed
In feng shui, water represents wealth and life energy (qi). Toilets, by nature, are places where water—and waste—are flushed away.
When the toilet lid is open, it's believed that your home’s positive energy and abundance are being drained out every time you flush.
It symbolizes:
Wealth going down the drain
Energy escaping the home
Health being weakened slowly over time
Keeping the lid closed helps to contain and protect the energy inside your space.
Don't put too many things near entrance
In feng shui, the entrance of your home is called the “mouth of qi”—the main portal through which all energy, luck, and opportunities enter your life. That’s why how you treat your front door and its surrounding space has a profound impact on your overall well-being.
One simple yet powerful rule is:
Never block or clutter the entrance of your home.
