- I've made videos on bed placement before but here is a refresher. some of the more common rules and why, so you can decide for yourself!

My favorite part is when the truck crashed through the window and slammed into the bed
Accident may happen.
imagine if the bed was against the window
Same! I laughed out loud and had to pause the video. Does he make these little mishaps on purpose? It's adorable.
It’s the Oops sorry for me 😂
Definitely made the point about not facing the window
That car hitting the bed had me in tears 🤣🤣
His giggle there 😅
My biggest fear, aside from losing my cat, is someone being able to rush into my room and tickle my feet. Thanks to these small lessons I learned how to take the fear away
💀💀
Depends WHO is tickling it
(wife/gf =👍)
Just rearranged our bedroom after watching this last night, and it is *so* much better! Both to be in bed and to use the room. Thanks for this advice!
I watched this video while lying in bed. And I am proud of myself that I have the room set up with good feng shui!
according to fennl shai, don't place your bed in school, space, entertainment park , on the ceiling or outside the window. instead use common sense and place it .
I like how there is no one right answer in feng shui. Sure, there are some basic rules but everything is dependant on context and what you think is most important in the room. And now that I learned more about it through your videos we really need to put our bed in a different position. We don't have a lot of options since it's small and we have quite a big bed, plus there are two walls with a window and one wall with a door. But currently the bed is facing the door with my husband sleeping under a window there's even a straight line between that window and the door, so it's really not good lol! I really hope we will be able to put the bed against the window/doorless wall, but I'm afraid there's not gonna be a lot of space for me to get to my side of the bed then :')
could you possibly make a video about how to lay out a kitchen? like what the best positioning for everything would be?
Where did you get all the little furniture pieces? This is so great for trying out multiple layouts without moving all the heavy furniture!
They are 3D printed
if you can't access it, i'd probably just cut out scraps of paper and you can color them in or draw on them to differentiate them
@@featherfruit hey thanks I'm just sitting here trying to figure out how to rearrange my bedroom and this is helpful :)
@@sarasmr4278 I'm glad I could help! I was looking at his little models and I was like "how can I do that without a printer" and I figure you could probably do the same thing with paper! Good luck with your room and try to have fun with it!
I’ve made paper scale models before and used them. Significantly more delicate, but it works great if you only need them infrequently.
All feels quite instinctual. Seems like we still act similar to when we were nomadic and tried to find a place for the night. LOL.
There are however two practical considerations that I missed:
1) where's the wardrobe? Most people need at least one and a commode for their indoor clothes! Plus, we might store other things in the bedroom, such as books, fitness implements, etc.
2) lighting. We like facing windows, but incoming light can be a nuisance as well.
Especially, reading and writing requires quality lighting.
I used to have my bed opposite of the door against a window. I used what you taught and moved things around. As a side benefit the dressers are no longer grouped around the closet choking off the doorway and we now both have outlets to charge our phones.
You don't want the car to crush you while sleeping.. Sure man !! 😂😂😂😂
My bedroom is awkward: 2,06 m x 4 m and one of the long walls is all windows. The door at one of the short ends. I am surprised to see that I intuitively did almost what you advice:
My bed is at the at the other end of the room from the door, feet towards the windows. The bed being 2 m long completely fills out the end of the room.
I have heavy curtains in front of the windows by the bed, and always keep that curtain closed. Then it feels like a wall.
And then light curtains in front of the other windows.
"Oops, sorry!" 🤣 Thanks for the rules!
The place i have my bed feels wrong glad you have this video. Gonna move my bed
I’m glad i came across this video! I’m moving into an apartment and wanted to set up my bedroom for restful sleep. Thanks👐🏾
I accidentally re arranged my bedroom in a very good way. My bed is in commnd position and i placed a desk to slow down the diagonal energy coming from the door. My bed and dresser is now on the east wall, there is a window on the north wall, and desk is on the south wall vertically right where the door is, so it on the command place also, i can now see to my kitchen and foyer when the bedroom door is open. All this totally cured my severe anxiety and some sleep problems. My bed used to be lenghtwise against the south wall so you would see my feet right when u open the door. No wonder i felt restless.
Finally a real life scenario why feng shui saves your life apart from ever-lurking snipers. Love this channel
Keep making videos I love this concept
1:58 🤣
The chi crashing through the window! This is why it's an undesirable positon 🤣
Great video
I'm new in your channel and I love your content and tips, keep up❤❤❤❤
Please make video about baw window in living room give tips please💖
Hi dear modern, I enjoy your video very much. I do have a request or a question for you. If I put three small animal style mirrors on top of my bed (my and my husband's bed), will that be a problem? I do want to say your furniture placement videos are very helpful, can you make videos about decorations especially about mirror?
This is exactly my room right now. Window in same line with the door.
The different is i don't have bumped wall and the furniture i just use is a single bed, study desk, wardrobe, small pantry area and storage.
Coz the ceiling is a bit low i put a fan under the window toward the wall beside the door to make air flow throughout the room.
Do you have any design advice how to maximalize the room and having a good air flow?
Thank you 🙏
Could you do rooms that aren't exactly square?
My current room is really similar to this, tho with one big difference... I live in the roof, so there‘s two walls that are diagonal, and my door & window are in the middle of their walls... Would these things make a difference for how I should arrange my furniture or should I be able to use this?
My current layout is bed facing the window, in the middle of the diagonal wall, slightly to the wall opposite the door tho. Desk is in the dark corner on the wall beside the door... I also have a bit of storage on the wall facing the door, at the end of my bed. And a little reading nook on the other side of the door? My door opens facing the window.
I hate how cramped I feel, even with technically lots lf walking space, but the diagonal walls feel like they are looming over my head?
Great video! This is like my room except my window is more in the middle and i have 1 more door to the right at the end of right corner of the room that connect to the kitchen.
Anyway my main question is does the Feng Shui principle apply even when you close the door or just when open?
Cause i do sleep with my door closed so i not sure how to think about this.
Where will I keep my bed and study table if there's a door in the middle cover with cabinet and opposite to the door there's directly the window and the room is 10×12?
I like how you explain..thank you
hope you can do placing a desk inside a bedroom..thsnks.
hello i realy love your videos and i am trying to plan my room set up. it is very tiny. my room is 330cmx280cm with 3 people. the door opens *into* the room on one 280cm side and on the otherr 280cm side there is a 180cm window and heater just beneath it. we need a 200cm wardrobe, a desk for 2 people and a bunk + single bed or triple bunk. i would appreciate any help
Im so proud of myself for placing my bed in the perfect place in my room before knowing anything about Feng shui.
Always put my bed near a window, I love the fresh air when i sleep.
Where did you get your furniture peices? Im so envious. I use homemade paper cut outs
My bed is currently against a window and my feet are facing the door. Lmao.
Do you help people setting up their rooms?
I love this
How does this fit in with kua number? I'm a number 9 which is supposed to be East but the East wall is on the same wall with the door. Also it is on the bathroom wall too. How do you follow both rules when they conflict?
I had a quick question. I absolutely love your videos!! I've spent a while browsing and I'm curious. What if your bedroom has a long narrow hall from the door of the bedroom, so the only way you can see the door is to have your feet facing it? Is it better to not see the door at all?
Don't know if you still need this but I remember feet facing the door is always the worst. I would hang up a curtain to make a new "door". Also there's some shorts on his channel about adding some furniture in the hall to provide more privacy.
@有機物 thank you! Yeah feet facing th soor is bad so there has to be a better way, I moved some furniture around the next week and truly it helped. Thank you 💕
Thank you! How important is orientation - ie north, south, east, west facing bed? If the best command position is north facing and second best is east facing, which would you choose?
It depends on where the windows are and the preferences of those using the bed. A morning person may enjoy to have their bed so that the sun shines on it at dawn, whereas a night owl would get blackout blinds if they had to use the same bedroom.
The compass direction is much less important than how your space flows.
Hello..... we recently moved in to a new home but the roo. Has big build in wardrobes which you see as soon as you open the door and a window on the left side at the centre of the wall how do I feng shui it
Do you have any advice if you have to place a bed against the wall with the door? I have a very awkward, narrow bedroom that used to be a garage, and no placement has really worked so far. I'm thinking screen divider, but with enough of a space that I can see the zombies coming into the room.
One wall of floor to ceiling windows, directly opposite a mirrored wardrobe with a door to ensuite. Wall with door into the bedroom has two areas and no space for a bed. The one solid wall has the door to ensuite to the right near the bedhead, so do you move the bed closer to the window but that means the feet are closer to the entry door or move away from the entry door but have your head closer to the ensuite door?????
Does it matter the direction of the head of the bed? I think our bedroom would feel nicer if it was against the wall on the right, like your drawing but my mom emphasized that the head of bed should never face west? So I listened to her but I'm curious on your thoughts.
What if the room is long and narrow? Like the bedroom has a balcony at the end of the room and the door is at the opposite end. If you put the but near the balcony, then you can't open the door and if you put it at the other side of the room, then the bed is right next to the door?
Put the bed in the kitchen
@dear modern - i have a small space. and I have no option but to put the bed facing the window. My apartment is not at the ground floor though. its on a higher floor. what do you suggest? is this okay to put my bed facing the window?
Not me looking at my room and realizing I have it in the worst possible set up XD
How about in non square bedrooms? Like the door wall is not straight, it has a space behind? I know I'm not explaining well, but... lol
Ok 2:26 seems to be a solution for my situation. But the door is more to the middle of the wall and the room is smaller. So if you go straight from the door you end up at the foot end of the bed. Is there a trick to improve this?
I have 2 way in my room that are nothing but windows, another wall places me on the same side as the door right next to it and last wall places the head of my bed kinda close to the door idk what to do
What if there other doors as well to bathrooms, closets, offices, etc?
Ok please help my bed room has 3 windows I don’t have a solid wall. Where can I send a picture of my room for your help please please please help!!!
There’s no good spot in my room according to these rules :(
i have a room with my door and closet on the same wall and a window on a wall that is touching that wall, i find my self struggling to find a god place to put my bed can you help me out
Same there!
what happens if the only position that fits is also the worst kua number…??? and there is a mirror opposite… in those cases is the head of the bed along the same side of the door acceptable?
I'm a bit lost I have a king sized bed in a skinny rectangular bedroom with windows on both sides of the room on the smaller walls and a door in the middle of one of the longer walls the bed only fits under one of the windows but it's a sleigh bed and the door hits off the end of the bed when it's under the window in the middle
I have to have my babies crib beside me as well help
But what If my feet are pointed towards the master toilet door does that count
What if the only place to put your bed is infront of the door? Is there any way to stop the flow of qi rushing to your bed?
X2 :(
He said that on this case, you should put a solid piece of furniture at the foot of the bed to stop the energy
I have a dilemma. I cannot find a good option & bedroom isn’t large enough for secondary furniture to help
1 wall has two doors (closet & hallway) & bed won’t fit in between
1 wall is solid, but heads would be in line with bedroom door AND front door!
1 wall has a window facing the street, 2nd floor, but noisy
1 wall has a full window & the feet would be in line with the bedroom door (and front door)
When your bed is BOTH against a window and facing a door… my room is literally A BOX, i already got a single bed how else am i meant to position it😭
Is there a difference between putting your bed against an outside wall vs an interior wall?
It's better to have it against an interior wall, but if you don't need to specially avoid it if you cant
It's better to have it against an interior wall, but if you don't need to specially avoid it if you cant
@@DearModern Thanks! I have my desk in my bedroom so I was gonna try moving it off of the wall like you suggest, but that requires moving my bed ha. I'll give it a go! it can always be moved back 😊
1:57 That explain a lot LMAO
The way you placed the desk is not ideal for Feng Shui right? According to your other video if you just rotate it by 180 degrees it would be much better
Feng Sui always said, place your bed against the solid wall.
But how about the bed on a false wooden wall (behind the walk in wardrobe)?
My room is similar shape but My door is at the bottom right and my window is in the middle of the wall on the left.
I need help with my room lol
What if my door is oposite to the window. Like it on the second floor.
----window---door-
Bed -

------------------door -
How to place rug under bed if bed is one corner?
Definitely need to rearrange my room after seeing this. The bed is in the worst position; head against the window right next to the bathroom feet to the door
Hii, but the table position, behind is the door?
That break the law taught🤔
Pov you have your bed against a window and feet pointing towards the door…
At least I have a curtain for the window 😅
What, do I do if my room is a circle with a door and 360° of curved walls :(
@heroalv4543, I would suggest getting a tall wardrobe at least as wide as your bed. Put the head of your bed to its back so you have support. Since you have 360° windows, you can rotate the bed in your preferred direction, mostly at 90° to the entrance with a "protective" night table between the bed and the door.
2:36 But when using that study - your back is towards the door! BAD!
1:58 lol
My room is very tiny and it’s impossible to do this method.
Then go for a Japanese room... (day: table out, night bed out).
So, don't have your feet facing the door. But also, have your feet facing the door .. got it👍
The one wall that follows this rule…? I’d be staring right at the toilet of the master bathroom.
@jillianbrown4789, perhaps put a folding screen at the end of the bed? Or keep the door closed when you are not venting moisture from the ensuite.
I don't like the last one, I mean the bed is fine but the desk? There is no natural light for studying and working! I can't see a thing with my desk in front of a wall this far from the window with the light coming from the back
Okay so what if the window is opposite the door, there's a closet next to the door and the bed is a single long 40x80 and the room is 115x120? Oh wait... I got it now 😁

This is my set up with that same bed wall with another window. Both of my windows are higher than my head board though so that's good
These all seems so natural to me.
When we moved my wife wanted to put the bed on the same wall as the door, I was ew gross who does that 😂 seems so unnatural
Literally every place in my room is bad, and I haven't slept properly since moving into it 😂😅 I have bathrooms on either side and the only options to put the bed against are window and door walls cause the cupboard is taking up half of the good wall 🧱 😅 🚚🚛🛻
I recently opted for the window wall, my head is in line with the window sill but it's better than when I had my head next to the door I think. Either way, it's kinda poo. Maybe me and my husband will have to start sleeping in bunk beds 😂😂😂
