do you have any bedroom designs for rooms with 2 doors? one into teh room and one into the balcony

[@lucygilliland3864]

I just bought a 1960s ranch home with multiple small bedrooms, so it’s good to focus on how I’ll manage making them comfortable and efficient.

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s my home- 1959 mid-century ranch. My primary is the largest room and it’s barely a few ft larger than 10x10 😂

To make my small bedroom look bigger, I downsized from a queen sized bed to a full sized one. It instantly opened my bedroom up. Someone even asked me, “how does your bedroom look bigger to me now?” 🤭 It looks more balanced too because I have two nightstands instead of one. I miss my queen bed though. 😔 👸🏽

[@nogames8982]

I’m thinking I’m gonna do this too. But I’m gonna wait until it’s time to get a new mattress and then I’ll get a new mattress and bedframe etc. all at once.

[@cathyh1680]

Yes, outside the US 3 × 3 metres is pretty standard in modern and new homes where builders cut costs and make more from downsizing every room.. I am lucky to have a house built in the 1930's when the bedrooms were bigger then so my main bedroom is 4.5 x 3.5 metres which isn't that big but it makes a big difference that it is a bit longer. It has no closet or built in wardrobe of course so a free standing wardrobe takes up some space but I plan on doing a corner wardrobe to mediate that.

[@JulieKhuu]

Not sure how I feel about no built-in closets. One the one hand, you can carve out whatever you need. On the other, that takes up more space in the room 🤔

[@valorielynwhitman8531]

A lot of places in the world count a closet as a room for tax purposes. When I lived in Italy, no one had closets in their bedrooms. They use wardrobes

[@cathyh1680]

@@valorielynwhitman8531 The Italians probably don't need a whole wall built in for clothes either because I don't think they collect a mass amount of clothes, shoes, bags etc., that needs mass storage spaces as they are more selective, which is what I have been trying to do so I won't need a big wardrobe.

I really like all ur videos very informative . I won’t say my bedroom is small but definitely a very difficult rectangle shape with awkward windows.

[@JulieKhuu]

Try to focus less on the windows/ walls and more on what’s happening inside on the floor plan. Ppl get hung up on awkward/ offset/ irregular windows (and weird architectural details) when HOW you lay out the space with furniture will visually impact how the walls appear. I’m adding “Awkward Windows” to the awkward space series soon!! Thanks for watching! 💕

Hey Julie, in Germany, when you rent a flat, you usually don't have these built in closets, so you have to put a huge armoire into the small bedroom which takes a lot of space away ....So I always look at your pictures thinking, hm, wish it could look like such a light scenario here ...But I really like all of your ideas! And pleeeeaaase tell me what nailpolish you are wearing. I love it!!!! ☺️

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s interesting! In the states, you can’t call a room a “bedroom” without a closet (for resale value). The second case study had wall-to-wall Ikea closets across the foot of the bed. Did you catch that? Definitely makes the room more cramped, but no choice!

[@JulieKhuu]

Also- nails is gel polish called Cinderella Pink 💅🏻

[@dloveofgod8269]

Julie, thanks again for another great video & I need to watch it again. I've lived in this 350 sq ft 'cottage ' for 3 years & only thing right in bedroom is bed in master position. I need a smaller bed & still haven't purchased one. I have a queen with only 18 in on one side where door is at end of that wall & a bit less on other side which 3/4 wall is window layered blackout drapes with Unfortunately I only have about 16" in from foot of the bed to the closet. I do have 2 unmatched small bedside tables on each side of the bed only 1 with a lamp. I do keep bed made & clothes hung ....definitely getting inspired to find smaller bed!

[@dloveofgod8269]

Unnecessary info but don't have a headboard I have a folding shoji type screen behind it covering a mirror as rental unable to remove. I don't like all these mirrors. The closet along foot bed area have sliding mirrored doors I also have covered with a drape. I have bed frame up higher to house 4 long, not high plastic tubs with photo albums of kids & grandkids I guess it's called making do. I want it to be more of a restful sanctuary.

[@JulieKhuu]

I think a twin would work best for your space while still allowing addl storage furniture in the room. Daybed will allow you to push the bed up against the wall and still free up space! Lots to digest, thank you for watching 😊

[@marylut6077]

Replace queen with full size bed - many are in great condition at bargain price in second hand stores. Move bed to a wall that gives you at least 18” on each side and 24” to stand in front of closet. Either run sheer drapes across the entire wall or replace window drapes with inside mount Roman shade. Replace table lamp with wall sconces. Hang mirror opposite the window to add symmetry and reflect natural light to other walls. Paint the entire room - windows, doors, walls, moldings, maybe ceiling - all the same color. Replace any small pictures with 1 very large picture. If room has no carpet, leave floor bare or get solid rug 6” to 12” smaller than room on all 4 sides.

Hi Julie, is it OK to make a long rectangular box like open shelf on the wall just above where the headboard is to put mobile phones, diffuser, small items etc or its not a good feng shui?

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. That's considered as bad feng shui (bcos those things might fall on you - from what I remember). Maybe you can put the cabinet/ open shelf on the side wall? (not the wall where the head of the bed is). If your stuff on the side wall fall on you, at least they won't fall on your head.

[@JulieKhuu]

Not good Feng Shui Jenny- you need to solid wall to support restful sleep. Anything behind, below, above the headboard will affect the solidity of the support. Hope this clears it up!

[@JulieKhuu]

Great suggestions Kitty! Anything stored beside your bed is fair game 👍

[@dyanalayng5507]

I recently got the symmetry corrected in my bedroom: matching bedroom lamps on either side of the bed. They are on side table of different heights, but I put several books on the lower table to get the height to match. Good Feng Shui directions either way for me: NE or SW. The eclectic bedroom is my choice!

[@amyfrancis9423]

Great video Julie! My teen daughter has a very small room with 3 main obstacles. The entry door, a small closet and under one of the windows is a radiator that takes up space. Currently she has a twin bed (it used to be a loft bed with a desk under it), a full-size dresser and a vanity she insists on keeping in lieu of the desk. Floor space is at a premium. There are two windows, and her twin bed is under one of them against the wall. Pulling the bed straight out will limit her floor space more. Any suggestions would be great! Thank you.

Hi Julie, I would like to know if a kitchen sink facing directly the front door entrance is that really bad ? My living room and kitchen is an open concept layout. If it's bad Feng Shui I don't know how could I block the sink area...

[@kitty_s23456]

Yes, it's bad feng shui if the sink is directly in front or visible from the entrance door. In the sink, you lose energy (down the drain), so the good energy/ chi may go down the drain. (from what I can remember from past vids). As to solutions, maybe you can put a plant or small table/ shoe rack at the entryway? Not sure, though. Let's hope that Julie will chime in.

[@MzKEEKo.]

@@kitty_s23456 if I were to put something near the entrance wouldn't that block the chi coming in? It's really hard to describe how would I implement an object between the entrance and the sink. Maybe I'll post a picture so you guys can understand

[@kitty_s23456]

@@MzKEEKo. I remember from 1 of her vids (if there's a mirror at the end of a hallway (which is bad) is that you could put plants or furniture so that the chi meanders/ doesn't go to a straight path. I'm not sure abt a sink situation, though. It it was me, I'd put a divider (like an IKEA shelf) to somehow break the space, or a shoe rack (bcos we remove shoes in my house).

[@JulieKhuu]

If the sink is right smack dab in the path of the door and it’s literally a few feet away, then yes- all the good chi entering the home will go “down the drain”. But if you have a nice plant in its path, omnidirectional lighting like a chandelier that can slow chi down, or even an island blocking the path- it’s perfectly fine.

[@MzKEEKo.]

@@JulieKhuu unfortunately the sink is part of the island in the kitchen.

[@HappyHarryX5]

I made a skinny beside cabinet on hidden castors so I can vac the space and make the bed. I made a long computer desk and hung the TV with hidden cables. I took out the wardrobe doors and put the dresser in there. I hung the curtain rods high and it look so much taller. I’m not compromising the king bed and just have to set it up with enough room for the fit ball at the desk. Can’t sleep upstairs in the main room after divorce. Have made the room pretty and need to hang the art. Painted the head board and made a removable foam piece for it and a couple of options for covers.

You’re a DIY Queen Fiona! Those changeable headboard slipcovers are genius!! Great move to change the look up whenever you like 🙌🏻

[@HappyHarryX5]

@@JulieKhuu Yes, good to wash the covers too which was my main concern. The foam and cover are Velcroed on to the headboard and the base is tucked down between the bed and headboard which is perfect. I wanted it removable to make the bed as it’s a bit harder to make a waterbed. For a bit of luxury, I can even make a woven leather one. Possibilities are endless.

Daybed is great for pushing up against a wall and allowing the opposite side to have a nightstand 👏🏻

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi Julie. I'm originally from SE Asia and in my country, the building code requires that for a bedroom, one of the sides must be at least 2m. It's common to have bedrooms which are 2x2.5m or 2x3m for budget builds or apartments. Of course if one has more space or $$, then the rooms can be bigger. The bedrooms in my rented apt are 2x3m. It can fit a double bed (full size) or single bed/ day bed. Studio apartments can be as small as 15 to 20 sqm (~150 to 200 sq ft). Thnx for the vid, great ideas! You're one of my fave interior designers here on YT, esp for your feng shui knowledge.

[@JulieKhuu]

Oh yeah, that’s definitely small! Older builds can get away with these measurements, but nowadays people want larger interior rooms. They will sacrifice common area storage space to achieve it! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻

[@barbaraknox2881]

Julie, this is brilliant! My bedroom is larger than 10x10. It may be 18x18. Need to measure. What I don’t like about my room is the wall to wall sliding glass door closet! Ugh! The only place I could put my bed was on the solid wall. I’m staring at myself when I rise and retire! Other than that, the bed would’ve been placed with headboard against the window. The remaining wall opens up to the bathroom with very little wall space on either side of the door.

[@JulieKhuu]

You can remove the closet sliders and install a drapery rod to hang pretty curtains instead. The closet will be so much more functional this way when you can open the curtains see everything 😍

Hi Julie... Thank you very much for your educational videos. I'm in South Africa and most bedrooms are pretty much 3m x 3m. Mine is bigger than that being 3m x 5m{ very awkward}.

[@serendipidus8482]

The hemnes day bed pulls out into a double and folds over the two matresses one on top of the other so you just need to take off pillows leave the bed made fold over and push in the bottom half. Then put the pillows in the drawers and throw a throw over the bedding. Or put pillows at the back for cushions and you have those drawers whether you leave it big or make it small the drawers still function. So its a good solution if you want space by day but bigger bed by night and has storgage too.

[@remnant1018]

My room is sort of like that first blueprint. The closet and door are on the top wall with the door in the far right corner. The closet opening (I removed its door) is to the left of it and half the size of the one in your blueprint. If you stood in it, you’d have to keep your arms at your sides. One window is on the bottom wall and a second window in the “upper” area of the left wall. I put my bed against that left wall and a standing wardrobe on that top wall to the left of the closet. I have that same 8-drawer IKEA dresser on the right wall. My brother thinks I need to add nightstands on either side of my bed, but I feel like the room would be cramped. The wardrobe’s left door already opens towards the left window. I’m supposed to put a nightstand there??

3x3m bedroom in Australia are usually the size of a kids bedroom and study. Master bedrooms are generally bigger.

[@JulieKhuu]

Great, so my “small/tiny” reference is right on 👍

[@blackbird3456]

I’m stuck with an attic-bedroom. Which my furniture is very limited and mostly need to be custom made. The attic entrance is in front of my bedroom’s door though. The slopped roof is half of my own bedroom’s wall. The other correct wall is used for my industrial sink and my fish tank rack. I’m thinking of going entirely with a foldable bed or something modular. I’m not in an appartment, so privacy is kinda useless for me. My 3 windows give me a lot of natural light. I’m probably alone to have such a weird bedroom.

Can you help me? My room is weird

[@glendabanta4832]

I hate having a bed against the wall. Too hard to make. I feel the same about day beds really.

[@JulieKhuu]

Ideally with the headboard against the wall, you still have open sides to make the bed. It’s when you butt one side up against the wall that becomes a nightmare. I would shift it a few inches just to make the bed 👍 Def feel the same about daybeds Glenda! Best to leave undressed with a casual blanket/ throw folded up and draped ever so effortlessly on one side 😉

I'm from Europe. 3×3 sounds kind of small for a bedroom but I've seen a lot of my frinds with bedrooms with similar measurements usually around 3×4, 3×5, 4×5, 5×5. Bedrooms for most parents however is usually larger like 6×8 meters or the parent/s dont have a bedroom at all and sleep on the livingroom couch.

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. I'm from SE Asia. In my country, the building code requires that for a bedroom, one of the sides must be at least 2m. It's common to see rooms which are 2x2.5 or 2x3m. We're also generally smaller than Europeans, so it works. The bedroom in my rented flat now is 2x3m. Of course, if one is richer or has more space, then rooms can be bigger.

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching and sharing Carina and Kitty! Sounds like US is pretty on par 👍

[@kitty_s23456]

@@JulieKhuuyou're welcome. I've seen studio apartments (in SE Asia) which are 15 sqm (3*5 m), 20 sqm (4*5 m). Some condo units (studio) are 24 sqm (4*6 m). In Japan, I've seen 8 and 9 sqm micro apartments. One can also find very small apts in New York City, from what I've seen in vids.

[@hardstuckbronze-r8w]

i was saving up my whole life to buy an apartment in new york and i could only afford a 0.00069m2 that i couldnt even fit a coffin in so i bought some galvanized square steel and i borrowed some screws from my aunt, then i bought some eco friendly wood veneer and i put a bed in the corner of my room and i built drawers under it to store out of season clothes.

[@Ollllll94]

I should probably move my bed out of the "coffin position" as a start!

[@04didilina]

I have bathroom in my master bedroom.What I can do ?

[@JulieKhuu]

What’s your specific question?

[@cg3560]

In my country, 3x3 is considered a bit too small. The usual size is around 3x4.

[@JulieKhuu]

Great! So 3x3 is considered small and not typical, I’m right on target 🎯

[@cybernicala]

i wish i could get rid of the queen bed I use now, but I don't own it and the owner doesn't want the bed to move from that room. (I even offered to pay for storage so that I could have more space :-:)

[@Andrea-64]

I live in a subsidized apartment. I only have one real wall and a tiny wall between the bathroom and doorway opening. The bathroom is in my bedroom, a large open closet open door and a window. I only have one option for the placement of my bed. It's an awful bedroom. The window doesn't even open and faces my balcony. It's very dark as I'm surrounded by high-rises on the dark side of the building. The best designers would be stumped when it comes to my bedroom.

[@hereandabout]

. why not turn your bedroom into a living room . i think bedrooms are wasted space and no sense . reading or eating in bed is the most uncomfortable position i can imagine .

[@JulieKhuu]

If that works for you, go for it! 🙌🏻

[@nodoboho]

A few points: * I have rarely seen a _square_ bedroom on the West Coast. They are usually rectangular, usually n x n+1 or n+2. So 10 x 11 or 10 x 12, 9 x 11, 11 x 13, etc. * Thinking back to all the bedrooms in all the houses and apts I have lived in or hung out in, I think bedroom closets are _rarely_ positioned where they would be behind the open bedroom door. When they are back-to-back like you talked about, the bedroom with the door opening on the right, as you showed, would have the closet on the left. The one exception was a master bedroom I once had where the left side had a passage to an en-suite sink and toilet/bath. * I have always naturally followed some of the feng shui rules. However, I recently found I rather like being along a window (twin bed parallel to window wall, about 16" from that wall), where I can see out at an angle while my head is against the long wall. I wonder if that is OK. Also, why would the assumption be that "energy coming through the window" is "negative"? * It seemed to me that many of the examples that flashed (too quickly) on-screen while she was talking about individual elements, were actually _bad_ feng shui layouts! * I wanted to start a new drinking game: take a drink every time she says "... _plop_ it in...". (Wouldn't "place it" be a more accurate and elegant way of saying it?)

I want to downsize but no money so staying with my queen sized bed

[@vonkatheviking]

A 10 by 10 is not a small room in Canada we have small rooms and isn't as easy with apartments that are constructed strange. So we need to downsize to a smaller house I wish I could find a place with a 10 by 10 room. Not as easy in this market, this didn't feel helpful just made me feel less, and we're cramped into small places too many people not enough space litteraly. So it's hard to make room we don't have, not all America or Canadian houses are the same. Must be nice out in America having so much space. We live in boxes and it actually really sucks for the price.

The style of Bedroom #2 speaks to me, but unfortunately I don't have the size more than maybe bedroom #1.I don't have the place for nightstands mounted on the walls even since the bed takes the entire width of the room🙄 But I´m thinking of putting up a small picture shelf of bamboo on each side on the walls so you can put a book, alarm clock and maybe a Rechargeable Wall Lamp on the wall that is renter friendly. I just haven't seen that just yet 🤔The bedroom I have is 2.10 cm wide and 3 meters long with the window behind the head frame that is fabric-covered and padded headboard thankfully 😅 But the window have no curtains which I need to fix immediately with a roller shutter curtain 😍Huge thanks for all the Inso @juliekhuu! 😍🥰 I love your videos!

[@JulieKhuu]

You can try shades mounted on the inside of the window frame to free up more depth from wall to bed MissLi! Thanks for watching 💛
