Quick Feng Shui Guide

What to Know First

If you hang a heavy object directly above the head of the bed, it can create a feng shui effect similar to "a beam pressing down overhead." This may make people feel pressured, leading to unstable sleep, frequent dreams, and waking up easily. Over time, it may also affect the couple's health and mood.

If you really want to display a wedding photo in the bedroom, it is better to hang it on the left side of the headboard, known in feng shui as the Green Dragon position, rather than directly above the bed or on the right side, known as the White Tiger position. The Green Dragon side is considered more auspicious and is believed to support harmony in the relationship.

Avoid

Watch out

Also, the frame should not be too large or too heavy, to avoid safety risks. The photo should not directly face a mirror, as feng shui tradition believes this may create an unfavorable "third person" influence in the reflection.

More Feng Shui Notes

A better option is to hang the wedding photo behind the sofa in the living room, or on the northwest wall. This can look beautiful and is also believed to help strengthen the couple's bond.
