How to locate your Bed in your bedroom using Fengshui 

finally, a design video that considers the fact that snipers can come around (lol)

Great instructions just one thing I’d like to add: you should also avoid putting your bed underneath any built in air conditioning and ventilation systems in order to prevent Ninja attacks etc.

After spending the last 3 nights dodging sniper fire, I'm so glad I found this video. Now I can sleep peacefully. Thank you. 💗

Hey i just wanna say ive been having maaaajor anxiety since i moved to my current place. Basically when i was on my computer I had my back directly against the door. But since watching your content i switched stuff around so i at least have the door in my peripheral vision. Very noticable difference now. Thank you! I hope you continue to share these concepts and that it helps others too!

FINALLY a solution to my sniper problem! I'm so damn tired of them shooting at me every freakin' night!

lmao at the sniper. he said that so nonchalantly

“So that snipers can’t shoot while you’re not noticing” OMG THANK U FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ADDRESSES MY GREATEST FEAR ☺️

Ok but the “snipers can’t shoot you while you’re not noticing” part really got me cause I used to have my bed in front of my window and I always got a vibe that that was going to happen 💀😂

"so that snipers cant shoot you" oh. shit just got serious.

I've heard that if you want to position your study, make sure that the person in the seat doesn't have their back towards any opening. To reduce the unease of someone creeping up from the back. Be it from snipers or spies Now that I think of it, is feng shui about protecting from assassinations

I would personally recommends 5:25 because you should put your bed away from the bathroom, you don't wanna hear the flush each time people use it when youre resting on your bed. You put your work desk near the window so it directs sunlight onto your desk this brings energy to you while youre working at the same time you can look out at the scenery outside when youre in stress. Your work desk is not supposed to face your bed that is very counter-productive, and easy to lose focus and constantly seeing your bed makes you procrastinate more. You shall fit in a book shelf against the bathroom wall this will help reduce the echo, at the same time, the whole working area is more conducive and helps you focus more easily.

"This is a difficult room and compromises must be made." Excellent life advice. Thank you sir.

I’ve always kind of had a vague understanding of Feng shui, purely on what felt right, glad to see I set my room up well.

Before this I hadn't considered how important it is to properly separate the workspace from the bed. My current setup has me brushing against my bed at the door to go to my desk to work. What a better setup to have it be the first accessible thing when I open the door! Going to have to switch around my room because of this thank you!

Really love the explication of this. I was told to think of Chi like running water. If you open your door and there’s say a window directly across that Chi rushes from the door out your window and if you put your bed or desk there your trying to do your work or sleep in a river of rapid moving chi. If you put a bed next to it and your head is too close you will always feel tired but if you put your feet close to it then less tired. I am not sure how true this is but it’s always worked for me in small rooms to imagine Chi like this.

A little tip from experience: If you have a pantry with a fridge and/or a freezer inside, do NOT place the head-part of your bed close to it. Those things make noises that you usually don't register during the day when its loud and busy, but at night, oh boy... The beeping and hissing drove me nuts! Now I have my headrest away from that wall and 2 meters away.

love the sniper comment because anything can happen 🤣

1:40 In polynesian superstition I always remembered hearing , you dont face the bed towards the door like that or spirits can easily lift you out of bed straight through the door.

We also have to consider the position of radiators in rooms here in the UK. You can't block a radiator because otherwise you are just heating the bed but not the room around it! It's complex to work these things out sometimes.

This is the most thought threw video, that I have ever seen on doing Feng Shui in a house, while considering ALL possible options. Well done, Sir. I admire your great work!

these small beds and chairs are so cute!

Dislikes are from Snipers

The way you so non shalontly mentioned snipers cracked me up and also made me realize I'm not the only one with these obnoxious irrational thoughts. Anytime im in the kitchen with my back turned towards the window I feel like my neighbor is aiming a sniper at me and i feel an urge to move towards a different area. I think these are built-in survival instincts us humans have that dont necessarily translate to regular suburban life.

Honestly, I'd probably swap the door to swing out instead of in. I feel like a lot of designers don't consider how a door interacts (or interferes) with living movement. I can see that beyond the room is an open looking hall or room and no adjacent doors, so for me, I would definitely make the door open put instead to give the room more space. (Of course, in smaller spaces like that, pocket doors are really the best, but they're severely under utilized in the US)

My old room had my bed by the window and a high rise building just next door, and I promise you- I was always so disturbed by the possibility of a sniper shooting me while I slept. So glad it's not just me thinking that way

Tbh If I was living in that hypothetical house I would have changed the orientation of the door and solved all the problems, this way you could have had the bed at the wall with no windows away from the bathroom. Great video btw. Great explanation!

I was confused about the energy thing the first seconds but completely understood when he talked about the bed being in front of the door

In college I had a 10x12 dorm with a roommate and two full size beds and desks. We each elevated our beds (like bunk beds ) and put the desks under. It worked well and as an added bonus I never got snippered.

This is amazing. I’ve always had a natural sense for Fengshui, but I never knew what it was that I was feeling. I have no enemies or reason to fear for my life, but if I’m near a window when sleeping or sitting directly in front of a door with my back to it (especially with headphones on), I feel vulnerable and think about the most extreme possibilities, such as being crept up on, assassinated, a school shooting (so I sit in tactical positions with good views and near exits), etc. Wow.

I would reinstall the door so it is fringed on the opposite way.Then keep the bed on the left and desk on the right corner of the room

Option 1: add acoustic paneling to the bathroom wall and place the bed there. The panel will dampen the noise from the bathroom. Option 2: Place the bed facing south with it's back against the wall to the left of the door. Then remove the door from it's hinges and re-mount it on the other side of the door frame. (The landlord will never notice the difference).

I lost it at "so snipers can't shoot you when your are sleeping". LMFAO.

Seriously that helped so much I can't tell you how many videos I have watched over the last 4 years that just left me with more questions then answers🤦 your video is what I've been looking for!!!! Thank you so much I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos now 🥳🤩😃😄

I have a HUGE problem with snipers so this was super helpful thank you!!!

glad i got recommended this channel tbh. I watched a few videos and realized how badly oriented some of my space was and followed the principles they teach and I've noticed an immediate dramatic improvement in not only the accessibility of my spaces but this tangible sense of energy. it feels clear, free of obstacles and already affecting my mood in a positive manner. previously I had an armchair and some storage blocking the living space from the doorway so I would have to walk 90* and 90* and 45* to access the living space which did not feel seperate from the open larder kitchen. Now my couch separates the living space from the kitchen, my desk is facing towards the open space and it feels at once protected yet spacious. When able I will definitely try to apply this to my bedroom as well.

It's also important to not see your work when relaxing/ sleeping. Suggestions incl: a wall hanging that can be turned around easily. When working, you have schedule, post-it notes, stuff like that. Turn it over to reveal a calm poster that fits the frame well, as though it's not used for work on the other side. Screw in a wallpapered board to back of desk footwell (wallpaper shows on bedside). Place opened shelves on desk, velcro framed photo/art back-to-back with hanger protruding from top center & sandwiched btwn frames and suspend from bottom of shelf, shows both to desk and bed. If and opened space in center of shelves, suspend a branch of driftwood, will calm for work and sleep. ( H H , where the H's are shelves & space btwn is for branch) Easy to make with 2"x3" boards, screws & white paint. Hardware store will cut boards for you when buying, so plan ahead.

You could also hang the door on the other side, so it opens to the right instead of to the left. The best wall becomes the one with no window nor door, the study can then be placed below the small window.

this was by far the best and logical explanation on many many videos I've watched - thank you so much!

I don't know how youtube knows that just today I was trying to figure out where to place my bed in my next houses bedroom. I didn't search for this, or talk about it out loud, I only thought about it while looking at the bedroom.. Then I come home to my current house, sit down for the evening, turn on youtube, and the first video it is suggesting is this one... GET OUT OF MY MIND RU-vid but also thanks for the information in this video!

Love your thoughts and reasonings. I would recommend to change the door to a sliding one, so you don't have to close the door to go to the left side of the bed.

When he said snipers I just lost it🤣🤣

👁👁snipers!!🤣 Great content here.

Your example of the most difficult situation is almost exactly the layout of my master bedroom. Mine is actually worse, because the wall in your drawing that does not have windows, and is not up against the bathroom, has my closet. I also have a Dutch colonial home, so the roof is angled, causing the walls upstairs (where my bedroom is) to have a slant in the corner diagonally to the back left when entering the room through the doorway. Right now, I have my bed set up with the headboard against the window on the left wall (viewing from the entryway/door), but I have never been comfortable having my bed blocking the window behind it. Not figuring snipers into the equation lol, I just don’t like how it looks. This leaves me with the only other option of my headboard against the wall that the bathroom is behind, just like your placement in this drawing. I am going to shift my bed to that new placement, and see if it feels better. I know it is not auspicious to have the headboard of the bed against the wall abutting the bathroom, but I do think that as long as I continue to keep my bathroom very clean,(and as long as my husband continues to keep the toilet seat closed) it will be better for me than having the (not solid) headboard blocking the window the way I have it set up right now. It won’t hurt to try. Thank you for your very clear instructions; I love your videos!

For the last design for a single you can put you bed in the corner of both windows. with heavy curtains narrowing the window behind you, and the energy of the smaller window just goes above and past your bed because your right against the wall. For a couple, your placement is better although I would simply just move the hinges of the door to the other side.

I’m wondering how Feng Shui feels about closet doors - for me, I always keep in mind the windows and doors (main bedroom door being the most important, but closet doors also) when I try to plan out where to put things in a bedroom

If there’s no window, is it even a bedroom?

you make me chuckle man "you need a solid structure behind you so snipers can't shoot you while you're not noticing" the accent just tops it off for me , great vid and tips

I placed my bed absolutely perfectly then! I have a door to my right, a large window to my left, and a window towards my feet (in front of me). bed is against the only solid wall. Nice!

very interesting video! i learned a lot. and apparently i placed my bed following feng shui ideas without knowing! just the most comfortable and accessible, logical placement! 🥰

I'm beyond proud of myself for accidentally arranging our room using fengshui principles! This also explains why I disliked my room so much growing up.

This video was done Exceptionally well! Thank you for taking your time in thoroughly and manually going thru this process!

Tysm! Certain room set ups with windows and doors stress me out . This helps a lot and explains the stress feeling cohesively

Crazy thing is my current bedroom is like the last example, but the restroom is on the opposite side of the door where it swings open at. I was really confused on how to put in my bed. I did finally put it on the first wall, but can't wait to change it to the other side tonight. Thanks for the input!!

when I was younger we always worried about snipers, it was pretty common where I lived, but now that I live in a safe place it sounds funny and sad at the same time

My room looks and feels 1,000 x better now because of all your advice!!! Thank you😊

I've always been worried about the sniper susceptibility of my bed placement, thank you for your guidance!

Thank you so much for this. Having drawings and tiny beds made things easier to understand. I will use information from this once I move in a studio type apartment.

I have been doing this instinctively ever since I was young, weird

This guy has come so far. Personality is out and doesn't trip over words as much.

Thank you so much for this video. I had an inner knowing to move my room around. To this way. This video was the motivation to do it. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video.

I appreciate your very difficult bedroom- it's very similar to mine. Door wall opposite a big window, with one of the side walls unusable (in my case due to a closet door). My compromise was a high headboard and heavy curtains to put the bed under part of the big window.

Your difficult version of a room is exactly what my room looks like. Set it up like you suggested at the end minus the study desk. I don't like to work in where I sleep. Great video

Thanks for confirming my assumptions according to Feng Shui in a very clear and practical way. The movable bed is a fantastic aid to make your points!

If i were to make compromises I'd change the way the door opens. Simple yet effective way where i can still put the bed in the original position where its best, then have a well balanced working area, and maybe just damp it down with a good curtain since the desk is in front of the single window

“..so that snipers can’t shoot you” well I can’t argue with that logic lol. *moves bed immediately *

The challenging one is exactly how all my problems are! Right now my bed is up against the bathroom wall but I only came there after hating all the other options and from what this video explains it's the least worst space SMH

honestly when he said it matters about you feeling good - it really clicked in my head. I’m typically manic when i clean/rearrange my room, and it’s always almost the start of something new, and i’ll just go and go and go without a second thought and then like around 6:30- 6:49 i’ll have to stop and just really feel out how the rest of the stuff should be. interesting to think about.

This video just validated my concerns about not being able to find a right spot for my bed. The difficult room at the end was almost like mine but if there was a door on the blank wall.

This helped me position my bed in my room properly. Tysm 😁

The furniture looks 3D printed, very cool

I did it right!!!! So excited. Thank you for this Fengshui video on bedroom placement. It answered so many questions.

wow with this advice there is literally only one spot for my bed, which is where I was about to put it :) I didnt realise the headboard against the bathroom/toilet wall was not desirable - the shower/bath are right on the wall my bed would need to go against so I will need to do something about that. Thanks for this video very useful with the diagrams.

So that snipers cannot shoot you😂🔥

I was wondering about those damn snipers! Never know when they might shoot. Thanks for the advice!

My bed does have the open door sending rushing energy at it, and I realized sleeping with the door shut DOES give me a better night's sleep...thank you for your teachings...I am learning...

In the small/complex space example that you show, I too would put the bed in the orientation where it's against the small window on the right hand side (with a sturdy solid bedhead/headboard) but I would also change the way the door swings. So, instead of swinging inwards (into the bedroom) I would unscrew hinges, fill the old marked out grooves where they once were set with wood filler, chisel required area in frame for new hinge plates and repositioned latch etc etc so that the door could swing *outwards* instead of inwards into the room. Believe me, this changes the flow wonderfully 🤤

Oh damn I didn’t know you had a RU-vid Channel! Your Instagram videos have got me into thinking more about the best ways to arrange my room as well as cringe at some fails I see every now and then haha!

I love these videos thank you!

This helos explain why my bed feels a little funny where it is. I might change it back to where it is, but currently it's creating a dark corner that is unpleasant. I can see how it's cutting off energy to that part of the room based off of how you explained stuff. So, thanks!

The little furniture pieces are SO CUTE!

May I also suggest instead of a king or a queen bed, just opt for a twin? It opens up more walking around space (and here's a secret that furniture salespeople don't want you to know about: A bed is just a shelf you put your body on when you're not using it!)

In the last example, I would replace the small window with a wall. One big window is enough light for a small room like that

im just impressed i followed feng shui principles when i arranged my room without even realizing😭

That’s is short and sweet! You explain things very well. Thank you!

“so that snipers cant shoot you..” lmaooooooo

Hi this is really interesting knowledge. May I ask, how if I put my bed like the first scenario of the challenging room : from the door we see the bed and behind the door is where the study table. But in this case, you dont need to squeze to get to the table, because the width of the room is quite big, so there's enough space between the bed and the opened door to cross to the table. Is it also not desirable position? My room is so much like this, except I have the bathroom door instead on the single window on the right side (in this scenario)

I would change the opening direction of the door - easy and cheap to do. Then the bed can be in the most desirable location, no compromise needed :) Love these videos!

I feel like there are some good options if room dividers are considered. For example, place the bed in the left part of the room but put a divider to separate it from the door. This way the room will be split into a cozy bedtime corner and the workplace main part with windows and the desk. The only downside is that it may feel a bit claustrophobic in there and there is no space for bedside tables, but this is what I would personally do ☺️

Good to know I setup my room perfectly without trying to

2:30 will be rearranging my bed to this..thank you..

Your challenging room is almost exact to my bedroom layout! Thanks you for this!!

Thank u for the illustration! I’m a visual person so this helped a lot!

Hello, do you take commissions? Or room layout ideas for video? I need help with organizing my room. I dont mind paying for the advices, depending on the price. Thank you in advance! Love your vids btw

Having it at an angle facing the door between the windows would be better because you can fill the empty space behind with something that would add to your Chi. This may not be ideal for most people but it brings the most balance to the room. I notice you did not mention about having closets in the bedroom. Here in the United States, most bedrooms have closets now.

Excellent thank you helped me understand tremendously and I’d been reading about it for hours! This was exactly helpful

The difficult room matches my room layout! Thank you! I don't have windows on the bottom though. Instead, the floor next to that wall is slanted downwards from (according to your floor plan) right to left.

How did you make the small furniture models? Is there a video for reference or any online resources?

My bedroom has 3 closets along one wall, and the wall next to that one has two doors (leading to hallway and bathroom) with only about 4 feet separating them. The other two walls each have windows. How's that for a challenge? It's actually a pretty clear choice though, because one of the windows is high on the wall and the width of a bed - clearly designed to be the bed wall. The window above the bed doesn't open. The lower window on the fourth wall does open - required by code for emergency egress.

I love your channel. I just discovered you. I watched your mini post and really enjoyed your advice. Feng Shui is a complicated philisophy of design and I need help!

THANK YOU 🙏 FINALLY a good example for someone with a window on on the wall in the command position..omg you saved me
