BEST and WORST Beds according to Feng Shui (Are You Sleeping on a Taboo?! 😳)

In this video, I share the best and worst beds according to Feng Shui. We all crave a blissful night’s sleep and waking up feeling rejuvenated and refreshed brings with it a vibrant level of personal Chi energy. The bed has everything to do with how we achieve that level of relaxation so let’s focus on the best bed shapes to help us harness all that positive energy while also understanding what makes certain shapes and materials so bad.

If you have a bed shape or frame that you’re still unsure of, let me know in the comments below! Remember that it’s more important to understand how you feel in your space vs. what Feng Shui principles suggest. Thank you for watching everyone! 🙏🏻☺️

[@aubreyevans4301]

How about if we are not using headboard.

[@gerihenry2261]

I passed! LOL Hey Julie, thank you so much for this one YET AGAIN! I had no idea that headboards were necessary for good Feng Shui but have been wanting one for our king bed for a while. But instead of investing in one, I am deciding to build my own. And I LOVE that wood and rectangles are the best choices here because I like simplicity and nature. I wasn't sure if the footboard was necessary but now I know. I just love your channel, girl, it's taught me so much! Thanks!! Geri

[@khelix23]

I have 2 beds (malm from ikea) but they are one full and one twin in the same room next to each other. They are in the wall with window in the center to avoid the coffin. Having 2 different sizes of bed affect the Feng Shui? Should I get just Twin beds? Looking some of the photos from the video. I think I wanna cover the whole wall (11’) with curtains.

[@jennyjenkins877]

I'm surprised you loved the headboard that looks like a pull-out couch at 12:00 because of the division of the cushions in the middle. That's based on thinking they're attached though. If they're not, I can see how it would qualify as passable but I'm definitely not a fan of how poorly shaped the cushions are and the random tufting on the side (arm?) of the headboard.

[@ilovebobsdonuts]

Julie, your video promotes a taller headboard for feng shui. I live in a studio apartment and have tried to keep the height of my furniture relatively balanced to avoid making my bed seem like it is overpowering the rest. What do you suggest for headboard height in this situation? I thought something low and very wide would help maintain the feng shui. Thanks in advance!

[@stephonstage7013]

When one understands that every single object is alive & harnesses energy, they’ll inner-stand how great this video is❤️

[@JulieKhuu]

Couldn’t have said it better myself Steph! 🙌🏻💖

[@wcouch8]

TY for the practical advice. TY for not recommending kitschy trinkets that spoil the balance of a room, and ty for replacing with beautiful advice to result in what we think of when we think of a feng shui space. I already want to sleep in those rooms 😊

[@JulieKhuu]

It all starts with the bed 💆🏻‍♀️🙌🏻

I love that you quiz us because it actually helps retain the information and learn to do it on our own 💗

[@JulieKhuu]

Awesome, hope it comes in handy when the time comes Jaclyn! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@aanchalsharma8362]

I really like this Feng shui series. I can think of a scenario where keeping the bed under a window could be a bad idea: A thief tries to break into your home by breaking the window glass while you are asleep, this could seriously hurt you.

[@JulieKhuu]

Absolutely Aanchal. Go with how you feel in the space. We all aim for a peaceful night’s rest 🙏🏻💆🏻‍♀️

[@Noname-pq8sn]

I love these Feng shui videos, Julie! So helpful! Thank you

Thank you for watching Rossana! 🙏🏻☺️

[@christinagracey6190]

Julie, I absolutely love your suggestions. Did not realize how important positioning is to arrangment of good Chi. Thanks !

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s the first priority Christina! The headboard is secondary ☺️

[@GalaxyLemonade]

This is so useful, thank you very much!! I loved the quiz at the end, because I can memorize the information better.❤️

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s the intent of the quiz Blu! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

Julie you nailed it. I shared this video to my family and hopefully will help them. Thank you and stay safe. 🙏🏽😘

[@cinzialbm]

Thanks Julie. LOVE Fengshui videos Please do more Also please help us understand the difference between the different FS schools and how the reflects on decor/design

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Cinzia! I don’t follow the various schools so I wouldn’t be much help in this department. I studied under my master who advised me of understanding general Feng Shui principles before diving into the details. It’s worked for me so far ☺️

[@harmony3395]

Love the feng shui series, great tips, thanks Julie

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Harmony 🙏🏻☺️

[@marionandrews176]

Love this video and series. I hope you address other concerns such as bedside table (can we only have round?) and paint color in the bedroom.

[@aanchalsharma8362]

I am also curious about the side tables since most of them are rectangular or square and have poison arrows.

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Marion- I did cover those topics in the bedroom video and color palettes video. Follow the compass direction to determine specific colors. I’ll add these details to my next comprehensive bedroom guide 👍🏻☺️

[@whatheck6797]

Yay!!!! Been wondering when you were going to make another feng shui video!

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@ErifRion]

I just started coming across your videos recently and I really enjoy the way you present feng shui principles. It really helps as I get into it more and start applying it to my life. You mentioned asking if there's a frame/shape I'm unsure of, so here it goes. I'm moving soon and I want to take this new opportunity to restructure my sleeping space for the better. I'm moving to a very old house and my bedroom is in the southeast corner of the house, but it's small. The room is only able to accommodate a twin bed, but I'm single and I'm not looking to enter a relationship, so that's not a concern for me. The door faces into the side of the closet which helps with the coffin position, but the wall the door is on is the only solid wall in the room. The two walls without the door or closet both have one oddly placed long thin window each, which makes positioning the bed tricky by feng shui standards, from my limited understanding. I've been considering an upholstered daybed with a high back, and wrapped sides, positioned lengthwise a few feet from the furthest of the the windows, opposite the closet/door side of the room, but facing the door. This would keep the commanding position, and symmetry in the room, and avoid coffin positioning, but I know not having the bed against the wall can be a no no. With the larger back to the daybed, would this help to mitigate that? You also mentioned daybeds representing more transient symbolism, though the ones I'm considering are without a trundle beneath it and are very much meant to look and feel like a permanent fixture. I'd prefer to avoid a traditional bed style if I can, as this room would feel extraordinarily small if I did and leave little room for much else, hence my initial look into daybeds to begin with. Are there other options do you think I should consider with regards to the positioning in the room, or the bed itself?

[@Stellaperez658]

Hi Julie, well I'm so happy to be in sync n have a very appropriate headboard! Who knew!!! Thank you.

[@JulieKhuu]

Woohoo! YOU knew all along Estrella 🙌🏻

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Laura 🙏🏻☺️

[@msteeant5707]

So grateful for this video!! I’ve been wanting to rearrange my guest bedroom but to achieve the command position would put the bed in underneath a window IN the coffin position. 😖 I was aware of the using drapes but I was not aware about the footboard or bench! Thank you!!

[@JulieKhuu]

Awesome 👏🏻 hope that helps cure it Ms Tee! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@evelynwelch8143]

I love this video Julie and only missed 3 on the quiz. Thanks so much. Hope all is well with you and your family❤️

Good timing, I am looking for a new bed. I very much believe in Feng Shui and I love learning about it.

[@JulieKhuu]

Feng Shui has power if you believe in it Bailey 🙌🏻💖

[@ilovebobsdonuts]

Feng shui for my allergies: wooden headboard Feng shui for my mind: cozy cloth headboard Feng shui for my back: tall headboard My mattress warranty: "you can't sit with us" Feng shui for my budget: Ikea Tarva headboard Feng shui for my stability: no holes in the headboard My Ikea Tarva headboard: "...should I leave?" Great video Julie 🥰

[@JulieKhuu]

Haha nice roundup Bob! 👏🏻

[@MoonbeamStarlaSilver]

I really enjoy learning about Feng Shui. I was so proud of myself when I got the multi-panel wood headboard answer correct. I said, "nope, poison arrows." I don't have a headboard because I have an adjustable bed. I don't see how it would be possible to attach one, so I would have to hang it on the wall. I'm so challenged with such things, lol. At least my bed is in the command position, although I have terrible sleep most nights, and as I had commented before a while back, I KNOW it's because that wall is connected to the neighbor's bedroom, and I feel all the negative chi coming through. Still, I don't want to put my bed in my total loss direction (East) or coffin position. Thank you for this segment, I learned so much, Miss Julie. :)

[@JulieKhuu]

I am custom making a bed frame for a client’s adjustable bed now Psalm. You are correct in your assessment of the shared wall. A DIY panel headboard attached to the wall behind you can help immensely 👍🏻

[@MoonbeamStarlaSilver]

@@JulieKhuu I'm gonna try to do something. Maybe corral my brother to help. :D Thank you for your reply.

[@clairevinet3557]

I enjoy your Pop Quiz that you add on with your very educational Fung Shui vid….thank you Julie! Also you are glowing and beautiful!🥰🇨🇦👏🙏🏼💖

Hi, Julie, Love the quiz idea, a proven method to ensure concept is understood, and your memorizable visuals plus overlay of “X” or check mark help me recall the info days later!

[@carolnewman8590]

Thank you Julie!!!🌹Our bed has good Feng Shui, my guest rooms have brass headboards, I’m going to change them.

[@JulieKhuu]

Guest rooms don’t harm you as much as those staying in them, but since it’s temporary, it’s less offensive Carol. But swap them out if your budget permits and you wish for better energy in there 👍🏻☺️

[@maha9890]

Thank you for this wonderful and informative video Julie🙏 could you please offer any advice on countering bad qi from a split headboard , other than getting a new bed/headboard? The headboard is a soft cushion material split down the middle.

[@JulieKhuu]

One large pillow in front can help ease the split 👍🏻

[@lovingmychocolat]

This is so informative! I'm currently decorating the bedroom (we selected the right headboard yayyy). I would like to know what kind of wall art would be good. We are keeping everything with neutral colors: white, grey, black but we don't want to add a mirror over the dresser (as per your other videos, it will face the bed). Any suggestion?

[@JulieKhuu]

Any type of wall art that helps you feel relaxed and calm Marilyn. I covered artwork in the bedroom Feng Shui video, watch it again if you missed that section 👍🏻☺️

[@MyThinkingJournal11]

Thank you Julie

[@karinaibarra7359]

Thanks Julie! Great video! I will change my headboard as soon as I can it has a shape that looks like fire and I never liked it anyway 😕. I will let you know if my sleep improves after that 😉

[@JulieKhuu]

Yes! Let me know Karina! You might have been onto something all along 🤔

[@wildliferox2]

Julie Hi, redecorating the main bedroom, and taking this as an opportunity to rearrange things and sought out your advice on bedroom design. I have had different headboards over the years, and find that something with rails is the most suitable for me. It allows for good circulation of air, ensuring a good night's sleep, it is also practical in terms of function, and to me more aesthetic. You can stretch your hands or feet through the bars- giving you a sense of more room, your head does not feel hemmed in by a monolithic barrier immediately behind your head, this gap serves to give a sense of space and air. You are free to attach ornaments or wrap or drape fabric over the headboard for temporary or permanent display. It provides an open space with which to interact, affording more options for fun and recreation, and well as being infinitely practical, one can attach reading lights, decorative lights (tho need to make sure they're earthed!- likewise if the bedframe is metal). It allows one to physically interact with the structure of the bed in a quite practical sense that one can actually hold, be part of, stretch and react etc. Indeed is this not how Joseph Hubertus Pilates started- for which the World must in part surely owe a big thanks.

[@Harlow_Khmer]

I like grabbing the rails when my husband and I are getting intimate lol it's the only reason I haven't changed ours in the 15 years of being married. I can grab them when laying on my back and it gives me leverage to pull my butt and legs up off the bed or when on top, grabbing them lll sorry for the TMI but some people might not realize how great of a role they play 😏

[@JulieKhuu]

Love all your reasons and makes perfect sense ☺️ I can’t change Feng Shui principles, I’m merely a messenger

[@dais85]

I loved this video more so since I am planning to get a tufted button headboard but with leather/vinyl for my king size bed. I would like a linen headboard but it catches on to dust easily and gets dirty as well. Would like to know your views? Thanks.

[@JulieKhuu]

I’m not a fan of vinyl (unless it’s high grade) since the plastic degrades over time Daizy- it has no longevity. Love leather, but if you’re prone to resting your head against the headboard, hair product residue will show over time. Love fabric and I find it so easy to vacuum and keep clean with the little attachment made especially for upholstery and furniture. Hope that helps!

[@annetteanderson3375]

I totally agree with the split in a headboard...lots of arguments! Now we don't...rectangular headboard - solid oak with fabric in the center.

[@JulieKhuu]

Perfect Annette! 🙌🏻

[@jennifergiard2209]

Another great video, thank you 🙏 ❤️ Are you able to do a video on how to decorate a bedroom dresser? I’m finding it hard to decorate all my dressers in my house

[@JulieKhuu]

I have a video on how to style consoles Jennifer- check it out 👍🏻

[@praisingirl]

This is a very timely subject for me Julie. Even though I don't follow Feng shui, I find it matches with all of my common sense reasons for placement of things in the home. I am about to start a refinishing headboard project. This headboard has verticle slats but rectangular shape with a backward curve at the top. Bed is also in front of a window near our front door.. I was debating upholstering the front of it. You have helped me decide on 2 hanging pillows or solid pad . I can just paint/stain the sides & upholster the main body. Any other thoughts for me? thanks

[@JulieKhuu]

Sounds fabulous Mama! As long as the channels are fabric wrapped and symmetrical (without just splitting down the middle) you should be good 👍🏻

[@kerriuttaro6153]

In my bedroom the only wall I could put my bed on was the far wall (which always is my first choice) there was a small window that was only on the right side of where a headboard would go so I added 2 paneled mirrored on the left side that look almost exactly like the window so now it appears the bed in up against 3 windows. It acts as a headboard becuase the existing window is too low anyways to have a headboard. I had a nice wooden frame though. My question is: should I add pull down shades to the mirrors as well?? I just feel so much better with it like this because it is balanced but I know feng shui would say no no

[@JulieKhuu]

Mirrors are a Feng Shui no-no in the bedroom as you surmised Kerri. Treat it like a window and add drapery or remove it completely. You may balance the right window with artwork on the left side of the bed instead. The choice is yours 👍🏻

[@mechanarnold4924]

This was an amazing video. It helped me with so many questions. Things that I didn’t even think of. One of the beds you listed as not to buy I was about to purchase. Saved me. I have watched majority all your videos. One thing I have been looking for is is it good to have a king bed as a married couple. Even if it’s available platform bed is it more ideal to have Queen. I have always been able to remove ceiling fan, but we are moving and ceiling fan can’t be moved. It is at feet, but husband insists on turning on. Is there something I can put on fan ?

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Mecha! King is great for couples, gives you more freedom so you’re not too close all the time 😅 The ceiling fan is necessary in hotter climates I understand, as long as it’s not above your head, you’re doing your best 👍🏻

[@angelac3750]

Thank you so much for your video. I have a question. What do you think of a black bed frame even the headboard is black? Is color matter? Thank you.

[@SassyDivine22]

I appreciate this video! So much new info and I'm BIG on energy. I am wondering if a rectangular wooden headboard with storage is good, bad, neutral? Thank you

[@JulieKhuu]

Wooden headboard is great! Storage, notsomuch 👎🏻

[@sheilabrown9378]

I love your input! I bought a bed with attached headboard that is beautiful carved wood very sturdy. It supports my head Lying and sitting - it was custom so I did not know the carving is all the way through (some holes) is there a solution for this?

[@JulieKhuu]

You can always wrap the back with fabric or another piece of solid wood Sheila. It really depends on how much you’re willing to modify this condition

[@divinelight8573]

Excellent thank you

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@kathyy8261]

Hi Julie. Love your videos. What to do if large bedroom window is not centered on the wall. Would like to put bed on this wall for best Feng Shui in my bedroom. Window is about 106” and there is 22” of wall on one side and 44” on the other. Should I just center on window? Centering on the wall and putting drapery on each side does not seem right considering would want maximum window exposure. Thanks.

[@JulieKhuu]

I would center on the wall regardless of what’s happening with the windows Kathy. That will allow you to maximize the size of the nightstands. The symmetry will make the back wall feel balanced and Feng Shui loves that. But then again, it’s your space and your design intent. Do what feels right to you

[@nintendoplayer8371]

Hi, your videos are Amazing! Thank you. I have bought a motorised bed base from Tempur with a fabric based rectangle and high headboard so all looks good. However, I have taken a split motorised bed base and a split mattress so that my husband and I can position it as per our own preference ( I sleep early, he watches his phone etc ). Is that ok as per Feng shui ?

[@JulieKhuu]

Technically no, since the mattresses are split. But do what you love, we can’t always follow Feng Shui rules when we prioritize comfort or style

[@shaneheffernan]

Are wooden bed frames better than divan fabric frame for antique look and comfort the one I have is solid wood and don't want to let it go its bit noisy but good quality

[@raqlionchaser]

Thanks for this Julie! I’m in a difficult place as I have a Murphy bed (that’s what my small studio allows for). Does decorating your Murphy bed to contribute to the idea of its permanence, work better according to FS?

[@JulieKhuu]

Yes, that’s the perfect solution Raquel 👍🏻

[@vernettevilla1618]

Hi Ms. Julie, Vern here from PH. I’ve been watching your helpful videos a couple of days now and I really love the feng shui series 😊 Would like to ask if you have some tips for a renter, living in a condo? One of the policy is NO drilling. Any tips for worth buying and renovation? Thank you 🥰🫰🏻

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Vern! Check out my video on apartment hacks for renters and let me know if you have any questions 👍🏻☺️

[@Deelight664]

Love the feng shui series! How high should the headboard be relative to the wall and ceiling height?

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s up to you to determine Dolores. My headboard fills up 2/3 of the wall height, but that’s what I personally like

[@KimRope]

I have the marte bed from urban outfitters with tight cane with small holes. Could I remedy this with a fabric or piece of something nailed behind the cane?

[@marcelle2647]

Hi Julie! I wonder if you could talk about wall art placement in bedroom according to feng shui. I read that you should avoid hanging wall art above the head of the bed and now my wall looks kinda empty 😅 Do you have any suggestions for this situation?

[@JulieKhuu]

Secure it well- anchors, extra support, whatever you can to feel safe and you can make anything work behind/above the bed Marcelle 👍🏻

[@joshmckinney6034]

Hi, I have a solid wood with live edge top headboard that is actually two pieces of wood joined together with blue epoxy resin. The wood is joined horizontally so there is no vertical split. It comes up pretty about 60 inches from the floor and is firmly attached to the wall. Would this be good or bad feng shui?

[@JulieKhuu]

The wood is great! The live edge is a bit iffy since it contains unfinished sharp edges … but all that matters is that you love it and feel great sleeping in it Josh 👍🏻

[@chitram7586]

Good tips 👍👍

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching Chitra 🙏🏻☺️

[@amapolagarcia8074]

@JulieKhuu, we have a iron bed frame. How can we treat . Ty

[@sammymeade9192]

Hi Julie. You had a wonderful light wooden carved headboard that you used a few years back in one of your design stories and I'm trying to ascertain where you found it.

[@JulieKhuu]

Everyone loves that headboard, it’s from Joss and Main and sadly discontinued. You can see it on my website under “Hacienda Heights” project and use my Pinterest hack to find a duplicate. Watch the Pinterest hack video to learn how to find a substitute. Good luck Sammy!

[@vintageelements710]

Hi Julie. Thank you for the video. I am in search of a new headboard and have fallen in love with the woven leather which the weave is slightly open. I am planning to DIY this; based on your video, I should close the weave completely. But is leather in black or cognac good or should I use cotton in a beige or cream? Also, what about one carved panel?

[@JulieKhuu]

I love the woven leather look and your instincts are correct- the tighter the weave, the more protective the backing. Color can be chosen according to the compass direction of the bed. Watch my video on colors in Feng Shui/ understanding the Ba gua for more tips!

[@Jho_Sephine]

Thank you again for your videos! How tall would you say a headboard should be if it's in front of a window? My primary bedroom as well as one of my kids' bedrooms, the best placement for our beds is under a window.

[@JulieKhuu]

As high as you like JD. You will move it away from the walls a bit so the window treatment will still be operable. My old headboard was 60” high in front of a window and I felt like it could have been taller 😅

[@pinkleather6725]

I really like the st james collection at restoration hardware . I keep hearing about bedroom sets being out of style but I love the vintage old school look but want to add leather for modern

[@JulieKhuu]

Just enough textural contrast will make any set stand out 👍

[@kellyhuynh2680]

Hi Julie , Can you please tell me if my headboard is good or bad fengshui please? It’s called platine de royale champagne by Micheal Amini. Thank you.

[@raynaortiz3260]

This was great! What about headboards that look like wood but are made of something else like MDF or particle board?

[@JulieKhuu]

As long as it’s rectangular in shape, I feel like the intent is there. Solid wood is best though Rayna 👍🏻

[@ianmercado9195]

What should I do if my headboard has division in the middle? Thanks in advance! God bless😇🙏

[@wenqi777]

Hi Julie, thanks for the great videos! Just wondering, if my bed is placed in command position, but it's facing the walk-in closet door, is it still considered a coffin position?

Thanks Julie for another Fung Shui episode. Is wrapping a metal head board with fabric ok?

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s a great solution to combat the metal element Suzie 👍🏻

Your Feng Shui videos are my absolute favorites. I am still looking for an affordable headboard for my full size bed. In the meantine, I have two large European style pillows that offer comfort and support. Are they bad F.S. because there are two?? Would it be considered a "split" situatuon? I am leaning towards the new Ikea upholstered curved bed in one of your recent videos. This was great info. p.s. I passed the test 100%

[@JulieKhuu]

The pillows aren’t permanent so not considered split Lori. FB marketplace and OfferUp have great deals on barely used beds and headboards. Often times people can’t return new items since they’re past the return window so you can score brand new for way less. Good luck! 🙌🏻

Love love love your Feng Shui series! I was wondering: are there any rules regarding bed feet? Thanks!

[@JulieKhuu]

A little space underneath (without storage) helps the bed to breathe Isamoa. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

Hi Julie Khuu, thank you for this video. How about a fabric headboard with vertical lines(no spaces). Is this bad feng shui because of the lines/panel effect? Also does it matter what colour the fabric is? I am thinking of going grey as it matches the curtains and it’s a neutral colour so I can add colour on the bed.

[@JulieKhuu]

If the lines are a part of the pattern, I think it’s ok. It’s when the seams split split right in the center creating two separate sides that become the issue Katie

Hi Ms. Julie🤩 I have a good solid wood with foamed fabric as headboard but to be in synch with my native tropical theme in the house, I added a woven abaca divider with 4 panels at the back which serves as a focal point wall in the bedroom and to create an optical illusion of wider dimension for the bedset and matching end bench. Is it still good feng shui because of the additional panel divider ? Thanks and more beauty and power to you🤩

[@JulieKhuu]

The wood + fabric headboard is great Nimfa. The divider, not so great. I outlined in the previous bedroom Feng Shui video that each panel hinge creates poison arrows so I advised against it. You may lay it flat against the wall to create the same visual statement without the negative chi. Watch that video again to see the reference.

[@nimfadg7554]

Yes, Ms. Julie, the divider is flat on the wall and its design mimics a brick wall. I truly appreciate your quick reply and good advice. You're a wonderful content vlogger by responding to your viewers 👍👍❤👏👏

What's the feng shui of a loft bed? (A raised double bed with a ladder)

[@TheBrightFuture30Channel]

I have a queen size mattress and I’m considering changing it to a twin size with two matching side tables and lamp. You did not say anything about mattress sizes. Are there any Feng Shiu rules in regards to this?

Thanks !

Enjoyed this very much. Platform beds are very popular right now and we are looking at a couple. What do you think about the Thuma Bed with padded headboard? The headboard is NOT attached and is fairly low. Any suggestions on where to get a good selection of "good" frames and headboards? Thank you.

[@JulieKhuu]

Thuma bed is great for sleeping, hits all the positive Feng Shui points. Headboard is a little low for sitting upright though.

[@stampinsueduffy]

@@JulieKhuu I agree on the headboard. Thanks so much!

[@josephinelai4638]

Thank you for your sharing. It is very interesting. My bed is facing the door of the bedroom. Is it good or bad? If bad, how to fix that?

[@JulieKhuu]

Bad only if your feet face the opening of the door, I shared cures in the last segment of this video Josephine

[@meenakshijaiswal9479]

Thank you for great content and such clarity. I have all rectangular headboards in woodboard. But I hav a question regarding direction of bed. I hav only one solid wall in my bedroom and if I keep bed with this wall, feet will be in south direction while sleeping. Is it bad having feet towards south direction while sleeping. Also is there any remedies for rectifying it??.. Thank u in advance..☺️

[@JulieKhuu]

I prioritize the command position of the bed placement, not the compass directions Meenakshi

[@meenakshijaiswal9479]

@@JulieKhuu thanks a lot for reply. I will do the same and it will be the perfect command position of bedroom.

[@gigartina]

What about the base of the bed? I've always felt that there should be light and air moving under the bed (also little robot vacuum cleaners), but most of the beds were flush with the floor.

[@JulieKhuu]

Air under the bed is great. Storage under the bed is a Feng Shui no-no Cat 👍🏻 Love my iRobot for keeping the energy fresh and clear 🙌🏻

[@deemee009]

Great video! I just didn't understand the poison arrow part. What did you mean by that?

[@JulieKhuu]

Check out my video on Feng Shui for the bedroom for the break down Dee 👍🏻

[@jessicaflores2616]

I have always been interested in this. I need a new headboard though. It is rectangle wood but has two split pieces of leather. Is their a cure for this or shopping I must go? 😉 thank you so much

[@JulieKhuu]

Place pillows to cover the split Jessica 👍🏻

[@physhtailswims2169]

I have a twin bed frame. Its rectangular fabric divided by 6 even squares within the solid head board . Its for my 5 yo daughter. I imagine that is bad. However she'd a child... does this grid shape matter for her?

[@chrisl8821]

I do not have much choice as where my bed is placed. Unfortunately, the only place I can put the bed in a position where my feet lines up with the bedroom door. What is the solution to this? Put a curtain or divider between the door and bed? Or push the bed closer to a wall?

[@marcelavanegue5091]

I have a japanese (futon/tatami) bed on the ground, is it bad for Feng Shui?
