Chandelier Above Your Bed? What Feng Shui Suggests Instead
Let’s Keep It Real
Many people love installing elaborate crystal chandeliers directly above their bed.
Psychological Effect 💭
Lying in bed, some part of your awareness may register the weight above you, even if you’re not consciously thinking about it.
What Some People Experience
- Lighter sleep
- More vivid dreams
- A subtle sense of unease
This is called “lamp pressing bed” in feng shui.
💡 Golden Tip
Bedroom lights work well as flush-mount ceiling lights, or positioned above the foot of the bed rather than directly over your head or torso.
Feng Shui Practice
- Lie in bed and look up
- Is there a chandelier, ceiling fan, or beam directly above?
- If so, consider switching to a flush-mount light, or adjusting your bed position
