the principles behind where to place a bed in a room with examples

[@serenityananda7091]

i really wish more people who build houses and stuff would consider this stuff more

[@mostlyysorryy]

I know 😭 I'm having the hardest time bc my bedroom I can tell was built with two twin beds in mind and not a bigger bed. So there's windows in aggravating places and I'm like ughhhhhh

[@gameseeker6307]

They are usually limited by budget, and then customer preferences and design choices (this last one can be changed)

[@pepperypeppers2755]

@@gameseeker6307 Everyone is on a limited budget, lol it's a business. Developers carve up floorplans to maximize profit, not to make a good product. As long as nothing is glaringly bad, it gets made.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

It’s called ‘architecture’.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

@@pepperypeppers2755 I suspect it’s not even floor plans are profit-motivated, so much as there’s no incentive to plan carefully. And certainly not to spend money on a talented architect/designer.

[@Tamagotchxii]

I watched this to see where I should place my bed since my sister recently moved out and now I get my own room. The second room was probably the closest layout to my bedroom and surprisingly I had already placed my bed on that exact spot! I just wanted to see what other options are out there but I’m glad I chose right!

[@katanyajason3316]

If you are aware of how you feel in your surroundings, you generally get it right. 😊

[@LeafyLauren]

I just moved my bed into the corner of the long window like in the first example, the only difference is we have a short window along the head side of the bed, it’s like a little nest. It opens up the space so much that more and the energy is wonderful 💗 I’m so grateful for your channel and love your positive energy! 🪴 🛏️

[@beelzebub966]

This was exactly what I needed. Example one is exactly how my room is designed. Thank you for the explanations as well, very helpful!!!

[@freppers2666]

In the UK I think the energy flow is a bit different. It’s common for doors to open the opposite way, so a door swings into the room still but the hinges are on the other side so the opening is near the corner of the room. I think this might be to prevent drafts from sweeping into a room but also means that the room is more private - if the door is ajar, outsiders can’t see into the room. My bed is against the same wall as the door but I don’t feel exposed because as the door opens it provides a screen to the bed

[@DroolRockworm]

Nah u still vulnerable

[@bellacalampiano58]

so in general my room is just not a good place to sleep in but ideal to work at. no wonder i feel better sleeping on the sofa in the living room uninterrupted than in any of our rooms xD i think the aircon being in the middle on two big windows is a bad placement. my room is a horizontal rectangle. the door is placed by the width facing the length which is where the two windows are placed at. then from the left are two big built in cabinets and a dresser in the corner beside a window. so anywhere i place my bed will be tricky because it's alway busy and near the neighbors so i had one window blocked (that's facing the door) to block out their voices a bit. idk if i properly described the layout of my room. but i love your videos~! love the positive energy you bring to any type and kind of bedroom~!

[@LiangJessie]

Wow my room is literally the second example and without looking into feng shui I had already placed that. I love it.

[@reference2592]

Weird question, but does anyone else actually feel anxiety and vulnerability when he puts the little head of the toy bed near the door?!? His room models actually bring me along on an emotional rollercoaster. I can feel exactly what's he's sayingabout the energy/calm/vulnerability/command of the different positions he demonstrates.

[@blaireshoe8738]

Oh yeah, for sure. I can vividly imagine what it would feel like if I had been "forced" to keep my own bed in that position. I grew up with people barging into closed bedroom doors without so much as knocking, and not being able to lock it, aka regularly having intruders. I very quickly learned the positions that made me feel safest/gave them the hardest time seeing me and me the best time seeing them as they entered. I shudder to think what it would be like to go back to that with the poor positioning he shows with the "bad" examples. And then rejoice that I am out of that situation AND it gave me accidentally genuinely helpful knowledge, once he shows the good examples, which are often what my gut feeling says is best.

[@katanyajason3316]

You're a natural! 😉

[@interdimensionalsailboat]

Definetly, expiriment with drawings and models. You're not required to only log all you shit around if you want to try an arrangement.

[@MeowMeow-sy2mi]

I'm glad to know my furniture is in the best position!

[@gagandeepkaur2752]

In the last example, I was really looking forward to see how you would have placed the bed if the window was diagonal to the door (Just like in your second example! Small room but two doors and a window). Hope to see more such videos! Thank you!

[@appleal1]

I came to this channel to problem solve my bedroom and the first room in this video is literally my room except there is a closet on the same wall as the door and there is a vent near the window which everyone in my family says not to cover so I wanted to see where the best spot would be so now I know where I should put it, thanks

[@Discovering_world-jj1yj]

My bedroom is exactly the room number two, door diagonal to window. Good to know that I had put the bed exactly where he recommended!

[@Khaisz.]

Always wondered if my bed is placed correctly after watching several of your videos, and finally I found this video and my bed and bedroom is pretty much placed exactly like 1:55. So my bed is fine apparently, good to know.

[@mellostation]

The first layout is the exact one for my master that we’re renovating and I considered placing the bed the way you mentioned but that wall is where the front door entryway is and I thought it would be too loud whereas the wall with the bed facing the window and door on the left side is against a hallway.. sometimes I doubt my decision but I can’t move it bc the headboard for the bed is built in.. 😅

[@trevj8604]

You are my guy when it comes to set up my room

[@DearModern]

Thanks!!!:)

[@ryanrhiintong557]

I didn't know till now. Thank you, sir! This is very informative.

[@Oceangirl1234]

And now you know

[@sherrylollis2152]

I have a room with the closet and bathroom door on one wall, the main door literally bumps into the closet door on the other wall and windows along the other wall. I’ve changed my room around every year I’ve lived here and nothing makes me happy. I wish you could do a room like mine. I love watching you arrange the rooms and describe why/why not to put something where.

[@DrPotatoX]

My new bedroom will be like the first one but with a random ”box-wall” to the right and I will be sharing it with my sister. Any tip on how to do it with two single beds? With a closet and a desk?

[@levij323]

My room is like the one in 2nd example, and I was wondering where to position my bed. Thank you for this.

[@squishymae7143]

Love this! Here's a comment for the algorithm~

[@Kolja122]

Dear Cliff. First of all, I find your way of explaining why you place what in your videoes inspiring. My wife and I bought a house 2 years ago, and she doesnt find peace in our bedroom, and i hope you maybe have time to give a short tip. The layout is almost like your last example with the 2 doors and a window but 3,5 m long and 3,35 m wide, but with a door to the living room on the lower right wall, the door (to our bedroomtoilet) on the bottom wall at far left of the wall, and the window is centered in the left wall with 2 large closset covering the entire upper wall. We have been sleeping under the window, which i can see, isnt ideal at all :( . Would it be better to have the bed in the upper left corner with the foots towards the toilet, or would it be better to place the bed at the middle of the upper wall with heads towards upper wall and then closets at left and right wall? Hope you have time to answer, and have a great day :)

[@noxcelkim1139]

hi, I would highly appreciate if you could help me where to place my keyboard (piano), desk, bed and closet with my small square room with two windows and a balcony. The door is exactly the same as you showed on the first example but instead of the window its a sliding door balcony. A window beside the door and another one to the left wall, and a balcony across the door. it's rlly driving me crazy. Thank you!!

[@mi_v_ny]

Omg this is my room layout ive been searching for this

[@ipnade]

My room has a door, closet and window all on separate walls; my only options are to either have the bed in front of the window, or to have it in line or in front of the door :/

[@snizzsyrup]

Same!

[@kungpaochicken13]

Hey! Thank you for this video. I have a quick question. My room layout is exactly the same as the 1st figure/drawing, but the only difference is that I have a sliding mirror door for my closet on the same side as the door. Any tips on where I should place my bed?

[@katanyajason3316]

Mirrors are not very good in a bedroom according to feng shui. Too much energy bouncing around etc.

[@svetlananana9609]

Yay! The first example was my room. Literally exactly like this

[@Shirumoon]

Can you make a video dedicated to furniture pieces or other types of items we can add if we have to put the bed, desk, etc. in less than ideal positions? Similar to the last example where you block energy by placing a wardrobe in front of the two door walking space.

[@mayteo2880]

Hi, I enjoy watching all your videos, very interesting. My bedroom is the same as as the last bedroom plan, except it's very small, only 3m by 3m. Opposite the window is the sliding door wardrobe. I'm sharing the room with my sister, so there's 2 single size bed, which I have no choice to place it at the window with head facing window. From most of your videos, it's better to have solid wall at the head side. Is there a way solve my case? So far, both me and my sister find the layout fine with us. Just draw up the blackout curtain at the window if we need to sleep. Also, I have place a 1.4m tall divider at the bed end of bed directly to the door to block the view of door.

[@teroblepuns]

I have a dorm that looks just like the last room but it's mirrored upside-down. Door to the north leads to the hallway, door to the right to a private bathroom. The whole room is really narrow, so northern and southern walls are closer together. If I had to describe its width, I'd say you could fit 2,5 single person beds lengthwise next ro each other. There's a large window area on the west side, going all the way from floor to ceiling with a window door north of that window. How would you arrange the room?

[@jellydarling1008]

I have a very small bedroom, it feels good to know how to position the bed properly

[@AliciaMarkoe]

Thank you, I love your videos. What if a person lives alone, and the door is there, but no one will be walking by the door?

[@furan8477]

‼2:41 你好 Cliff, I was wondering if you could tell me if the up-left position, with the bedhead touching the upper wall, would be a good position. I'm asking because I have a room that resembles this one you're showing, the only differences are: - the door is on the left side and doesn't open towards the bedroom; - the window is smaller, making the left side of the wall with the window LARGER, as large as a EU king size bed; - My room would have to be used both as a bedroom for two people (loving eachother) and two desks because we are two dirty-poor students. If you ever happen to answer, 谢谢！！☯And thank you anyway for all the amazing content; you're precious

[@HaseebUmer9790]

[@saysolinka109]

For the first room, I did arrange my bed in that position as it feels best but I'm still stuck with how I should put my desk. Since I like to do art, I need a lot of sunlight but if to put the desk near the window facing the wall, the positions are kind of vulnerable to the door. (The desk has to face the wall because I have a desktop.)😢

[@orngjce223]

Have you considered having two desks? In one of my old places I had an L-shaped desk where I used one arm for my computer and the other for my art.

[@rohitmeshram1412]

wow, i gotta compromise my bedroon then!! XD details: french window on south wall (full width), toilet to north wall with its door on NE corner facing southside, and entry door on north-west wall, facing east. so only option seems to be the west wall or east wall but the catch : catch 1- bed head board on west wall means entry door is just to the left side of my head catch 2- bed head board on east wall means entry door is towards my feet side (which is better) but the toilet door is couple of feet to right side of my head

[@vanished6004]

I love the video, thank you very much

[@DearModern]

Thank you!!!

[@missainm3114]

Do you have any ideas for a rectangular bedroom with 2 doors(1 at the breadth, 1 at the length. Positioned close to each other in a corner) and full windows for remaining walls that does not have a door?

[@ireneochoa6972]

Thank you, this is a big help.

[@BladefireA]

I have a room configuration where the door is nestled into a corner (like the corner is folded over sort of) and then on the wall the door moves towards when opening is the closet door, then the next wall has windows, then the next wall has a window, and the wall on the other side of the door has no windows or doors but the way the door opens puts the bed in a bad spot there. Right now my bed is up against a window with a blackout curtain on it to make the illusion of it being a wall because I cant see another way.

[@nomee11]

Thank you for the information. I needed help with what is the good bed position for me as my room layout is 2nd picture but I have full wall fixed wardrobe where the windows are and windows on the wall opposite to the door. Also where would be better to put study/work desk. It seems don't have the command position to take here.

[@jcouch1993]

You should do irregularly shaped rooms too, not just square ones

[@alanquach2352]

So I finding it very hard to know where to place my bed, I have low curve roof on one side and opposite is the door, with balcony door and open cupboard

[@mavikeshkumar]

Bro explained all room but not my room😢

[@do-ray-me]

Same

[@KahwahShutseh]

We have a bedroom like the first one, sort of. The window is on the same wall as the diagram but centered and not that wide. There is a second door at the top-left of the diagram leaving 4 feet between door and the top left corner of the room; this door leads to a bathroom. This door creates a diagonal pathway to the main door. Can't figure out a good bed placement at all.

[@Annaspopoff]

We have an 11 × 12 bedroom with a queen bed, the north wall window is on the left side, the west wall right side is a walk-in closet, and on the right side is the entrance, the south side wall master bathroom off center to the right, east wall window is on the right side. The room never feels great. I built a barn-type door for the bathroom because the entrance and bathroom doors hit each other. 😅 I can't seem to find balance in the room if that makes sense.

[@Crunyil]

Brilliant as always

[@DearModern]

Aw thank you! I wasn't sure what to post this time

[@OCEAN_OF_FOXES]

I feel the energies very much BUT in this case having the officially right layout was making me feel really bad. Im not sure why but i suspect it has something to do with me being annoyed when I can't move in straight lines. Even though my place was closer to the door, I felt "stuck" that I couldn't reach every corner of the room easily. I put the bed against all rules: head with the window behind (it has a board though), legs to the entrance, and it's even worse because behind the entrance is the main entrance (ok this bothers me a little). But I feel much better like that like I can breathe. Wondering what was it.

[@TalontedVixen]

The way room/example #2 is LITERALLY EXACTLY my room but l correctly pre-guessed the right solution! 😂 😅

[@soapysuds5182]

Omg. I have that complicated room. But smaller. So it’s much challenging. And there’s a mirror on the wall too. 😅

[@NatashaHayes68]

Hi thank you very much for you vids there WOUNDERFULL My room is your first example, but I have a chimly sticking out in the right hand corner of the room so it would mean my bed is half on the back wall..the left corner is to small for my bed.. it's it ok to put my bed on the back wall with only half the support. The other wall has a toilet behind it. And I can't put my bed under the window I get really depressed the last time I put my bed there. My bed is now in the middle of the roomI feel stuck please help me..

[@ramelojayco7651]

Hi, my bedroom is small around 3m x 3m. In a room there are 4 sides, say a, b, c and d. The door is on the corner of side A along with a solid wall. On side B wall there is a two-door closet. On side C, there is a window. On side D, there is a door in the middle for the toilet and shower. Where is the best place to put my bed? Thank you. RJ

[@hipluvstar]

Hi, my room has an awkward ceiling beam at the side of the room. How to put the bed?

[@aksprkl6594]

Hi I have a 15x15ft bedroom where 2 walls are dominated by a patio door on one wall, and 2 reach-in closets on the other as well as the entrance. I use the reach-in closets for a tall dresser in one, and a vanity in the other. My queen sized bed currently faces the patio door and is adjacent to the door. My 2nd wider dresser is on the wall opposite to the door and adjacent to the bed. I also have a makeshift desk next to the patio door. I know I have a lot of room to work with, but it feels like I'm not optimizing the space as much as I could. Everything feels thrown together rather than cozy. What should I do?

[@alldayagain]

Does the door's direction of opening matter to having the bed against the door's wall? The only solid backing (not in a corner) I have is the wall with the door (both accross and diagonal walls have center windows and the wall in front is a make-shift open closet). But the door is in the bottom right of the room and opens towards the rest of the room instead of away towards a wall like these. What do?? 😅 Recreation: ------🪟------ I I I 🪟 I _I I I ---------🚪--

[@RRRRRRP]

The second one is my room, but the other wall is a built in wardbrobe. So i chose the "least bad" option which is head/bed near the window 🤷‍♂️

[@pppetra]

Busy near a door.. either i AM in, or i AM out. Dutch houses are small. Like put in a kingsize bed take away the door in a room. A bedroom next to the livingroom? And what dining room? There is usually a tablet in the kitchen of the livingroom.

[@MarijaDemanuele]

Can you show us examples of rooms with doors opposite each other at the middle of the rooms? Fairly small rooms say about 3m x 3m

Hi! How about bedrooms with slanted ceilings?

[@danielschannel701]

I've got a big challenge in Feng Shui coming up with two windows on opposite sides, and a bathroom door and closet door on one side, and finally the last side has two doors, one is another closet.

[@DC_TK]

For the last sample you showed, if there was wardrobes on both the bottom and right wall, I currently have my bed placed exactly where you said it should be but I have a long table and a bedside table to fit in. What is your recommendation? I currently have it on the right side of my bed both units attached, but my back will be towards the wardrobe where the door is.

[@emotionalthugg]

Would you say the command position triumps the direction your sleeping in?

[@justacommenter9389]

1:44 this is the exact same layout as my room but there's a window on the top of the layout in the middle, what do I do? The door leads into a very short hallway so from most angles you can't see out of the room

Gosh I have an impossible bedroom. Door on one wall, window on 2 of the other walls, and the only solid wall puts our head in line with the door. Right now we are sleeping with heads against one of the windows and feet facing the door. It's really small, too. I want to rearrange it because my husband is messy and it's his side on display when the door is open. Grr

[@JaneNewAuthor]

I once had a bedroom with windows in two adjacent walls and the door on another wall. I had the bed head diagonally across the corner between the windows. My feet pointed towards the door. I got really ill.

[@Dirty_Dishes]

I see often that you don't recommend putting a bed with a window in back because it's not a solid wall. What about rooms with smaller windows that don't reach to the floor? The bed would have a wall behind it and a window above

[@brasilipina4404]

Mine os the second one but i have 2 bathrooms behind 2 opposite walls so i had no choice but to put my headboard under the window and put a curtain and a solid headboard. My husband was already complaining about whyyyyyyyy am i so specific with the headboard and the raised legs and etc etc etc...😅

[@g0ingh0st]

I swear ive watched so many of this guy's videos cause I love his reasonings behind where he places things but I still cant figure out where to place my bed. TT the wall where my door is, is diagonal so it faces the entire room. on one wall its up against a bathroom, on the opposite wall is where my closet is, and then on the last two walls I have windows TT

[@johnraymma]

The first one is my bedroom except a mirror image and I already have the bed in the right place 👍🏻

[@ivoartur]

there's another energy to worry about that is much more important than all the feng-shui, we shouldnt be sleeping with our heads towards North since north star pole sucks all your energy while you sleep since its magnetic, but opposite however gives you energy and heals you, but when you meditate u should meditate towards the north star pole to absorb.

[@paeahome]

Can you do one where the same wall has the entrance door and bathroom door but the opposite wall is a big window?

[@mariereilly2084]

Ugh. This entire video makes sense to me, but I am trying to make sense of a bedroom that we have with bay windows (which is three windows) in the center of the space and I’d directly across from the main door of the room. Then we have another hall door on a third side of the room and a double door closet on the fourth wall. Where to put the bed? Desk? Shelves?

[@explorer8125]

Where do you get your mini furniture?

[@siegeINK]

Ugh this is the closest video of all your vids that gives me some kind of guidance but I still question my beds position. Your second example room is my layout except the command position you suggested is the closet area so currently I have it against the window, with curtains and a solid wood-cushioned headboard. My window is not necessarily on the ground floor but a slightly elevated position as I have a few steps to enter into my home. Did I choose the right position?

[@hsukyarnyochaw5852]
