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

  1. Lie in bed and look up
  2. Is there a chandelier, ceiling fan, or beam directly above?
  3. If so, consider switching to a flush-mount light, or adjusting your bed position
