I believe She could pile five thousand square feet of stuff into five hundred square feet ! ( and , promptly forget what was there ) !

I personally would choose to have the living room and bedroom reversed. I have a sleep disorder and having a window right in my face would be terrible. 😭 Putting my bed in the center would allow me to close off any sunlight when I don't want it. Plus, when I am awake, I can enjoy the view better from my living room and work desk than my bed!

That sounds like a great plan! Having the flexibility to block sunlight when needed and enjoy the view from your living room and desk can definitely create a more comfortable and functional environment. It’s important to prioritize your needs, especially when it comes to sleep. There are also systems available now that completely block out sunlight, so it won’t bother you.

@alex_gmtm
@alex_gmtm Ай бұрын
Haha, good question! 😄 A Feng Shui expert might say that the bed position is crucial for creating good energy in the room. Ideally, the bed should be placed so that you can see the door without being directly in line with it, often called the "command position." It helps to have a solid headboard and avoid placing the bed under a window. Of course, the specific recommendations depend on the room layout and the individual’s energy needs!
