Can I just say that this channel has had the most useful (and useable!) tips I've come across for everyday design? I've rearranged 2 rooms with great results thanks to your quick and helpful tips. Love the videos, love the shorts. Please keep 'em coming!

[@huberttrocks]

Yes! I agree. Information you can put into practice which changes the “feel” of your house! I’m so grateful for this channel!

[@danielasalazar5289]

Yes! I have sleep problems and I’m finally rearranging my room trying to use his advice to see how it goes:)

[@gabbythegreat4962]

Me too! I rearranged my weird very long living space and now I have a designated work area separate from the sitting area. Didn't think that was possible given the Western love for open floor plans but it's helping me study so much easier!

[@Popcornnomnom]

Hear, hear! I've rearranged my living room, my office, and my bedroom. The past month has been so incredibly productive and I've gotten the best sleep of my life. It is shocking how comfortable my bed now is just because it's not near the door in any way.

[@user-oy4vu3ck3u]

Could you do a tier list? Like if the bed has no command position and you have to choose between a wall against a toilet or in view of a mirror which would be the better one to relent to?

[@isabel_hendrix]

Omg this is such a good idea!!

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

He sort of answered this question in a different video, about rooms with awkward shapes where there is no clear ideal answer. He said it depends on you individually, and what is most important for you in your situation. So if you know the view of the mirror will bother you, being against the toilet wall might be better. If the toilet has leaks and there is damp in the wall, but the mirror has never bothered you, it's probably better to be facing the mirror.

[@jankisi]

in this particular situation I'd get rid of the mirror

[@ketaminepoptarts]

personally i would pick the side facing a mirror bc i sleep on my side, so i wouldnt wake up facing the mirror and get startled

[@MichelleDiamondPhoto]

I *think* the answer is a rug under the bed to ground it? (Been watching for a while) 😅

[@blutigerbella1338]

Gosh, you need to do a series where people send you photos of their room and you design the layout for them. ❤

[@Mikagow]

Someone get this man a lamp model!

[@reginaworthey1401]

The trouble is, builders don't build with fung shui in mind. My bedroom has windows on 2 walls, and two closet doors on one wall, and the entrance door on the other. And only 11.5 feet square. So my bed has to go on the wall with the entrance door. But I feel safe because of my pitbull and rottweiler.

[@isabel_hendrix]

TOTALLY agree!!! I heard in another one of their videos it’s important to take into account the different amount of energy coming in through either the door or the windows, so maybe if you can take that into account and put your bed with the least energy coming at you (like maybe because of your dogs you feel less energy coming from the door than the windows?)… I’m not sure this is right but that’s how I’m thinking about it since I can’t add walls or change things too drastically in my apartment! ❤️❤️❤️

[@itsbinxbro3725]

Presently, I'm in architecture school. I vow to design every one of my buildings with fung shui in mind!

[@MaximaToluene]

He posts hacks as well if dont have a choice in some scenarios

[@shehuehue]

Agree!! My friend had similar issue with her apartment. She's so uncomfortable with the bed directly facing the entrance door (Cliff's biggest no no XD), but the room is so small that the other only possible place to move it is accros the closet which has mirrors for doors 😕 In the end, she put the bed there, but also has a table between the closet and bed to cover the mirrors a bit. Oh and also, I don't mean to be rude, but it's spelled feng shui - feng from the word wind, and shui from water. Just so you know ❤

[@muurrarium9460]

That's why we have curtains, try a 4 poster bed with it's own "movable walls".

Soooo happy to find this!

[@TheTitanPrometheus]

I'm not a big believer in rooms having "energies" but I love this channel because of your voice and still really helpful tips for arranging rooms

[@acctsys]

Energy is a loose term for human flow and movement. It's like heat map in English.

[@fortcolors9887]

energy here seems more like a catch-all term for everything like sightlines, people moving, focal points, sound, whatever

[@ChaoticNeutralMatt]

​@@fortcolors9887 pretty much. The practical side helps and was explained a little elsewhere.

[@LRM12o8]

I'm no spiritual person either, i just take energy to mean airflow and the flow of movement. I definitely feel unrestful and nervous when I have to sit/sleep in the path the air or people walking by take and these feng shui videos explain very well, why I've felt these issues in the past. It may sound superstitious or made up, but what it describes is very real and I for one don't care about what words you use to describe your concept as long as it's true.

[@timogeerties3487]

Feng Shui actually takes the human psyche into account. If your bed is close or in direct line with the door, you feel subconsciously nervous and restless since any potential "threat" coming through the most likely entrance could see or reach you immediately while you're at your most defenseless. Instinct from WAY back in our history. You place the head end of the bed against a solid wall for the same reason. Eliminating a direction to look out for for threats

[@alexiswatts649]

You might have just given me an idea to fix the bookcases in my room, I’ve always hated the one tall bookcase in the corner. Thank you so much ☺️ 🙏🏾

[@albeit1]

Sideways book storage is in. Flip that 90 degrees!

[@lynzyrisingsun]

Kallax book shelf from ikea. It can go both ways.

[@r0ver11]

I want the door near me because instinctively I want to be able to leave my room quickly in the case my children need me. The 'energy' that connects me to my children is calming.

[@ru.m.6119]

Me too, in case of an earthquake.

[@skyfitsheaven7393]

Tis is literally my bedroom (starter setting) just the bookshelf next to the bed in a high chest of drawers. I have been living here for ten years and tried some combination and the one from the beginning of the video is definitely the best one for me. If I switch the bed like he recommends I can see all the way into living room and it makes me feel exposed and nervous, while as it is now the chest of drawers blocks my view of the door (can’t really see them whether open or closed) and makes me feel secure. Also I have window next to the bed which gives nice draft in hot summers, occasionally allows me to watch moon or rain before falling asleep and sunrise wakes me up before alarm (I swim before work so it helps me get up)

[@JaredSutter]

My bedroom is currently set up how he recommends in this video, and you're right, I can see into the hallway from my spot on the bed, which is unnerving. Making sure the door is shut mostly fixes, but I don't like it when the door is open, even a crack

[@ScienceisRadAF]

Yes!! I just shared the same problem in the comments. If you drew the energy lines, as he often does, it feels like the energy doesn’t turn INTO the room, rather it carries straight through to my feet.

With this same layout, replace one of the bookshelves with a desk, or create an L with the bookshelf facing the window wall

[@oldkingcrow777]

I love this channel and have been chugging along for the last year trying to get right. It's been like a kaizen type thing where I don't grt discouraged and try to make many small changes consistently. My house is like 90 years old and has horrible flow infrastructure, you would love it 😆 One night like a year ago I had a weird mental distress/breakthrough seriously randomly as I was laying on the couch watching TV super late and I just felt that the answer was Feng shui, I learned how diverse it was for the Chinese distinguishing multiple types and it just resonated with me. There was too much Sha chi around here that festered and got worse from the seed of the poor building Feng shui. Found your channel maybe a month ago and while for me Feng shui understanding has always been natural, you can FEEL when something is "off", it's one thing to notice something it's another to actively change it. Your videos encourage and empower me to keep going, and know that this isn't some weird mentally challenged OCD thing but actually my soul perceiving and reacting to the flow around me being affected by all the "stuff" we keep around us. Love you man!

But but but, vertical bookshelves make more sense to me! You put the stuff you use the least often at the very top, the most often in the middle, and the rest at the bottom, so you don't need to bend down or get on your tippy toes every time you need to get something. It's also much more easier to clean and maintain.
