How do I determine the eight directions of the Feng Shui Ba-Gua template in my bedroom?

I am now in the process of renovating my bedroom, and would like to arrange it with some basic Feng Shui tips in mind. I’ve been doing a lot of reading about the Ba-Gua template, but I’m a bit confused about how to determine east, west, north, and south.

Is the way I place my objects supposed to correspond with the cardinal directions of the world (my bedroom window is literally facing toward the west), or am I supposed to think of the entrance wall of my bedroom (where the door is), as an “imaginary south”? Should I start looking around my house for a compass?
