In ancient China, Arhat beds were generally used for taking a nap and receiving guests. Because the general Luohan bed is relatively large in size, there are also differences in style. There are two types: waisted and non-waisted. The most common ones we see are those with waistbands. Generally, the middle part of the teeth of this type of Luohan bed is relatively wide, and the overall curve is relatively large. We all know that the placement of furniture is also very particular, so do you know what the taboos are when placing the Arhat bed? Let me take you to learn more about it below.
Taboos on the placement of Arhat beds
Before understanding the taboos on the placement of Arhat beds, let’s first briefly understand the Arhat beds. As we mentioned before, this Arhat bed is one of the four traditional beddings in China. In ancient times, the role of the Arhat bed was not only for people to take a nap, but also for sitting. Many times, this Arhat bed is used to receive guests, so its main function is not to sleep on, but to entertain guests. With the development of history, the shape and design of Luohan bed also developed from simple to gorgeous and exquisite, and gradually began to pay attention to its own decoration. Up to now, our Luohan bed styles and designs are very diverse and can well meet the needs of contemporary people.

Next, let’s take a look at the development history of the Arhat Bed. We all know that traditional solid wood furniture has reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The styles of furniture are very different. Furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is one of the representatives of traditional Chinese solid wood furniture. The Arhat bed during this period also developed to the extreme. First of all, we need to know that in the furniture of the Ming Dynasty, we have never seen marble as the surround of the Arhat bed, and the decorative forms of the surrounds of the Arhat bed were very different between the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the Luohan bed directly put the marble into the frame, while in the Qing Dynasty, the marble was first clamped with the core board and then put into the frame. Generally speaking, the Ming-style Arhat bed lacks legs and feet, giving people a powerful and subtle feeling, while the Qing-style Arhat bed has similar legs and feet, which is powerful and exaggerated.
We know that the size of this Arhat bed is relatively large, so the Arhat bed is also one of the larger pieces of furniture. In our living room, not only the placement of the Arhat bed is very particular, but the placement of any furniture is also very particular. So, what are the taboos about the placement of this Arhat bed? Let’s take a look now. A small coffee table is usually placed in the middle of the Arhat bed, and cushions are placed on both sides of the coffee table. Overall, it looks very solemn and elegant. Nowadays, because the use of Luohan bed seems to be more casual, it is good to place it indoors or outdoors. But generally our Arhat beds are placed in relatively fixed locations, mainly in the living room, bedroom, and study room.

However, when it comes to the specific placement, this Arhat bed is still very particular. Let’s take a look at the taboos of placing the Arhat bed in the bedroom. Generally, it is best to place the Arhat bed against the wall and not in a place exposed to direct sunlight. Because most of the frames of our Arhat bed are made of solid wood, try to avoid direct sunlight. Also, pay attention to placing it in a well-ventilated place, so as to effectively maintain the dryness of the space environment.
