I need help to Feng Shui my confusing room?
I have been reading up on Feng Shui lately and I have been trying to position mine and my husbands room so that it brings good fortune and health, but every-time I make a move it seems that I have done the wrong thing. I have taken some pictures of my room at the moment after an exhausting last attempt. Our bed either faces the door or mirror, and I know that both of these things are not good. There is a fan in the middle of our ceiling and windows on two walls, I have tried to face the bed at an angle but read that the bed head should be against a solid wall and not a corner. There was one option so I moved the bed the side of the room, facing a wall with a wall at the head and a wall at the side, however this meant that the bed could only be accessed by one side, which I know is also bad Feng Shui.
I have attached some links to pictures of the room, although the clutter is only due to my rearrangement, it is the bed I really need help with.
Kind regards.

Here is the left wall (a mirrored wardrobe)
And here is the view from the back wall, where the bed head is.

Thank you so much for your help.
You will have no ill effects from putting the head of your bed in the corner. I debated about doing this with my own and have had it there for five months. I sleep quite soundly with nice dreams. I did, however, fill the corner space behind the headboard with a small bookcase.
If I had your room, I would redo the closet doors with something besides solid mirrors. A freestanding mirror would look much nicer and you could face it any way you want.

I’d put the bed to the right of the door/under the window with a nightstand. This way there would be a modicum of privacy when the door is opened…..
Then move the bookcase/shoes & jewelry to where the dresser is now (between the mirrored door and window…
then put the dresser where the bookcase currently is located. By moving the dresser, you are unblocking the window view.
Do you plan on keeping the mirrored closet doors?? Because there is a paint for mirrors, so you could paint over some or all of them.

As I know, Your bed head or bed end shouldn’t facing the door but your bed not facing exactly the door should be no problem, maybe you can try to adjust it aside.
I believe in feng shui too, thats why I’m reading some feng shui article and doing feng shui blog for my friends and my own reference.
If you interested, you may have to look at http://thefengshuitips.com
It is very new blog, I’m still working on it.

Having your feet face mirrors isn’t the problem. The problem is having all those mirrors in your bedroom. You should replace the closet doors, then have your feet face that direction. That would be much better than having your head face a corner. The mirrors are bouncing waaaay too much chi around!

first remove all mirrors in the bedroom. why? they can complicate your life, or make you restless all the time - that sleep becomes useless, bec you still feel tired in the morning. mirror from the desk is okay, it just cannot reflect the bed. but it’s better to have a bedroom without mirrors. regarding the mirror-covered closet, you can cover the mirror with a paper wrapping.
and could you keep all shoes inside the closet?
if you have too much clothes, i think it’s time to sort it out to give or sell some that you don’t need. so you can keep your shoes inside it.
these are just simple fengshui. it does not have that significant changing effect/s on your life. why? bec they do not use any fengshui methods. how do you use fengshui methods? easiest is getting a fengshui practitioner to do it for you. or attending seminars held by masters. why not reading books? bec books do not include advanced applications of the method, esp those written in english; those written in chinese are often in fengshui codes, so even if you know chinese, you won’t be able to understand them. websites? there are no websites that offer free useful info. i have found 1 website a very long time ago about flying stars, but the author took it down.
if you can buy “advanced course in fengshui” by eva wong from amazon.com; then it is a good book about flying stars method. some books by lillian too explains 8 mansions or ba zhai method or the east-weat groups. but in both authors’ books, the authors didn’t explain the advanced applications of these methods.
in flying stars, the important thing is that the front door of the house (not bedroom) should face a good direction (to you and it should achieve or give good chi to your living rooms like your bedroom). then you need to activate where the current water star is, by using the area frequently as in a kitchen or living room. and it is also good if you place your bedroom in an area where the current mountain star is - but only if it has a good energy combination - bec this can make your life more productive and healthy at the same time. the method ba zhai can complement this method, by making it more personal. but i personally like this method, bec it is simple and more powerful than ba zhai method.
in fengshui, it is easier to build a house based on fengshui than to adjust 1 to accomodate fengshui. and forget about most fengshui books, unless they teach you certain fengshui method. the bagua method is not a legit fengshui method - it’s not even taught by fengshui masters.
