So check the dimensions of your room and arrange the bed accordingly.
b) If you open the window frequently then don't place the bed under the window. You can, however, place your bed between two windows. If you don't open your windows then you can ignore this rule as placing the bed under the window will not cause any hindrance. Similarly, if your room is air-conditioned or heated all year then you can ignore this rule.
c) Ensure there is enough moving space after the bed is placed. Make sure the bed is not obstructing the opening of a door or a window.
