Absolutely. Feng shui is meant to make things easier and more enjoyable. If "perfection" isn't possible, then stressing about it won't help you make anything easier. Fix what you can, embrace what you can improve, and learn to live with what can't be changed.
@@generalcodsworth4417 thats what im talkin bout! the only way to not be stressed all the time is to be chill af about problems, theres problems everywhere!
Apartments, sometimes near colleges. They want as many people as possible paying as high a price as possible for the convenience, with no thought to quality of the space.
Older apartment buildings are being chopped up to create mare apartments in the same space. Cost of new construction plus highest possible profit drives the size of the spaces.
I hear that in some cities, the price of rent is so high that a lot of people are forced to be packed in like sardines to be able to afford the rent. With several bunk bets to a room

Yeah, I was gonna say Sims. Though, I'd love to see a game that taught you Feng Shui principles by having not one best answer but points based around principles, so you could try to find the layouts that maximized points, even if they wouldn't all be the same. I love learning principles through gameplay 😊
Something this video just made me realize is pushing your bed into the corner is a very single person thing. All throughout college I was single in all three of my college apartments. I had my bed pushed up against the corner because I never thought about anyone needing to climb over me to get out. Now that I'm in a relationship, we always make sure that there's ample access for both individuals.
My college bed is too tiny that’d it’d be a danger for me and my bf to sleep in it without having a wall to keep one of us from falling out💀 sucks though because neither of us like being on the inside
My bf and I have our bed in a corner to maximize the space in our weirdly shaped apartment. It's a king size so we actually sleep sideways on the bed, and both have access to get out without bothering the other. It's just what works, plus I hate having a bed in the middle of the room, it's just too open for my taste.
I prefer the corner and get to stack comfy pillows along the wall to lay against it's so comfy. It also gives me a few more inches cuz I'm not gonna fall off the edge. Bonus is I get to control the window lol
Personally this wouldn't work for me, I hate crawling over my partner and not being able to reach my nightstand! I love your content though, all your stuff is fascinating. keep it up!
@@littlelad406 So pulling off covers, sheets, pushing body parts out of the way, etc. so you can slither down to the foot of the bed isn't gonna wake them up? Damn you must be a heavy sleeper.
Pull off the covers and sheets, off of you and towards the center of the bed. Do not pull it off your partner (lol). Wiggle down off to the bottom of the bed. Go to the bathroom. Pray that when you come back and crawl back in, your partner has not hogged all the blankets you piled on the centerline.
I’ve done this arrangement and found it very challenging to make/change the bed. Also climbing over each other and no nightstand for one person made it really challenging.
@@twinnish It's literally the opposite of peaceful. A person can live without a nightstand, but having to climb over your partner to get out? Nah, now you are pushing it.
I think that the bed needs to be turned 90degrees with the head of the bed against the wall… hopefully that way there’s enough room for walking/getting in on each side of the bed and possibly room for a bedside table on each side of the bed as well… It’d probably be less awkward as well…especially since neither person needs to crawl over anyone to get out of the bed…
@@carenwilson4902I think the door opening the way it is, is better for feng shui, because it hides the bed away from the doorway, giving privacy and protection.
Get on the bed, make both wall corners tightly. Elastic sheets definitely needed, then get off the bed and pull the remaining corners into place. You get the trick of it soon enough.
I'd be frustrated that I can't get up in the middle of the night to pee without waking my partner because I'd have to crawl off the end of the bed to get out -_-
Okay? Either make more money to afford a bigger place, climb out through the bottom which is easy af or don't live with a partner? Like i do not understand bitching about his suggestion when this is not your room situation and it is only a suggestion for when there is no other option. Silly behavior.
After watching countless of his videos I feel like he is better with individual rooms and furnishing than whole apartment layouts. Some suggestions for the apartments are questionable to say the least, but these room arrangements are simply spectacular. You can feel the cosiness here even in the little model. Great work
Since we don't know what the rest of the place looks like or the persons living situation. The room might not have been designed to be a bedroom, or if it was it might have been meant for a smaller bed. Not one the size for two people.
I would have done this on my bedroom, but we both need the nightstands. We have different routines, wake up at different times, different sleep patterns, etc. One of us would need to crawl over or go around the bed in order to get to the nighstand with our phone/alarm. I agree it would feel better, but it wouldn't be practical.
A wall-mounted shelf would function as a nightstand, and could be paired with a wall sconce light fixture for all of the function of a night stand. The room is what it is!
@@BeckyMarshallDesign Either the shelf has to go so high on the wall that it loses its "bedside" status, or you would end up hitting your head against it every single time you get up. Remember that this is already assuming the bed is right up against the wall and there is one person trapped against the wall by another person. A shelf is possibly the last practical solution to this. The advice in this video simply wasn't that good, and was an extremely unrealistic fix for this problem (speaking as someone who absolutely loves this person's content usually)
We recently did this ourselves I love my pertner so I’ll gladly give up the floor side of the bed for her, even if it means I’m not closest to the door to “protect” her
I've been watching all your shorts vid and i could not find a room that look similar to mine. However, it does make me rearrange my room taking in mind your tips- and suddenly i feel like my room is much more spacious that before 😅😂
Center a long curtain rod on the wall, and cover the whole window and part of the wall with light blocking drapes. Then center the bed on that wall. There's another window in that room, so no loss, and both people can get in and out of bed easily, and each have their own night tables.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the way lighting works. If I had to guess, it's the fact that you have 2 sources sitting next to eachother ad opposed to one big light source.
I think maybe they mean those really thin, low-profile, decorative candle-like lamps, and not the giant bedside lamps with the huge shades. Then you could put something small between those lamps like a centerpiece maybe? Idk we have something like that in our kitchen but its not in a corner like that, it’d feel kinda tight/awkward to me personally and I HAVE to have my bedside table space for my medications, electronics, glasses, etc. i’m sure if I had a partner they would feel the same abt wanting that space and also not wanting to have to climb over me or climb forward to get out of the bed
I was thinking a candle and a lamp. Two lower-light sources that give enough light when used together. Actually went back and noticed he said matching lamps. I see what you mean, lol
Why not change door into the other room, barn sliding. It is on a track not swing in either room. Put bed at an angle since there is no door in room and way then you would have two sides to get in.
Some people like being against a wall - I don’t mind it, and I had two bunkbeds at different points in my life and they need to go against the wall anyway. I agree with your point about it being a pain to make, though. I’m glad I’m not a gorilla. Apparently silverbacks make a new bed from scratch every night to help them avoid parasites!
having the bed against the corner works for me and my partner specifically because i'm a gremlin who will sleep on top of my phone and crawl straight down off the end of the bed to get up whether my partner is there or not so. works for us !! ^^
One way to add slight storage for the partner sleeping in the corner is with that two-way headboard have it deep enough to act as a tiny shelf (enough for a cup of water or phone or a book to read before bed)
In this case, they wouldn't be able to get in or out of the room - everything is already touching everything, they can't afford to move the bed closer to the door.
When organizing furniture in a room, I like to prioritize comfort. Having awkward spaces that require you to shuffle around objects is the biggest thing to avoid in my eyes. Pluss some people really like their beds to be like little nooks. My bed has a wall at the head and side, and a large dresser at the foot. protected on 3 sides feels really nice.
This video helped a lot. I have a king size bed that it doesn’t fit in the farthest part of the room and the only way to make it fit unfortunately is to put it against the wall with the door because the other side has the window.
This was right on time. My bed is too big and I had to either put by bed in command position or have it facing the direction most desirable for my KUA number, but it would be sideways right infront of the door. I learned there are many different types of feng shui and I’m excited to evolve and study them. I found your page from Reddit /fengshui and I’m grateful.
As someone who has spent many years sleeping on the wall-side of this bed configuration, I wholeheartedly disagree that the comprise is worth it. Get a smaller bed, a bigger room, or a layout that works equally for both sides.
My husband and I slept like this in our old apartment in a smaller size bed, while I was in the first trimester of pregnancy. I was against the wall and I actually loved it. It helped me sleep
I get up at least 3 times a night, my partner at least twice. I go to bed late, him early. He gets up early, me late. Crawling over each other would ruin our sleep pattern so much. Maybe try angling the bed. The head in the corner with some nightstands behind it and on the sides.
Make a “nightstand” on the wall with some nice looking hooks and caddies. That way they don’t have to keep loose stuff in the bed or bother their partner to pass them stuff
My husband and I started Halliday Renovation nearly 45 years ago before " flipping" became a common word. I loved looking at the floorplans and creating better living spaces by moving walls, doors, closets etc. Other Real Estate agents heard about me and would call me to their listing to explain what needed to be done to make a house more appealing. I was always amazed at the terrible floor plans , even in newer housing, that exists.
i think the lateral head is KEY!! i didn't know, but i put a fabric to cover the wall on the side of my bed. It was a different and much better experience!!
I’ve had many beds in corners like that. It makes complete sense in a small room, depending on placement of windows & door(s.) The ONLY thing I don’t care for is changing out the sheets. You can’t, of course, go back & forth getting the bedding just right. Moving the mattress can be really difficult, & doesn’t help much anyway. The only thing I’ve thought of as a solution would be for the bed to be on small, locking wheels. Unlock them to roll the bed away from the wall, lock them when you roll it back into place.
The layout you suggest is pretty much exactly what my boyfriend and I did out of necessity , so now I feel a little bit better about it xD Luckily he doesn't mind sleeping on the wall side, because he barely ever needs to get out of bed to pee (I do way more frequently) and he also doesn't really need anything on the nightstand (I do) and he sometimes goes to bed before I do, so then it's very easy for me to join, because I don't have to climb over :)
Corner bed is so nice. I have my desk against my bed too. I love small cozy sleeping, the rest of the room is open for other things. Both windows are nice and open for plenty of light. Very very comfy~
Another alternative could be seeing if you could change the door’s swinging direction, or even install a sliding door. Might not be feasible, but never hurts to consider all your options. Love the video though! Very cute. :3
Lol I kind wouldn't mind that. I'm so used to sleeping next to a wall in my single bed that I feel weird in a bigger bed. Plus I don't get up to use the bathroom during the night 99% of the time anyways 😂🤷♀️
Reminds me of my brother's dining room, it used to be too tight to get pass the table, but then he removed a cabinet and now there's more space to get pass
Yeah this works. My bed is built in so is pressed up against a wall by choice - I have the side near the wall, my partner gets the open side. I have the thick built-in headboard as my bedside table (it's wide enough and fairly tall so it works) and when I need to get up and out during the night, I just slide down off the end. In an ideal world I'd be able to change it but I physically cannot so just made the room work around it!
As someone who’s been single all my life, I always shove my bed against the wall. Makes me feel secure to have my back against it when I sleep, and it always gives me more space to use my room for other stuff
You could put a wall pocket on the wall for the person who has no nightstand within reach and you could also find a way to get lighting and reachable switches on both sides of the bed. There are rechargeable lamps if you don't want to wire it up but still want that.
This man is why my roommate and I manage to live in peace in a studio apartment. A few curtains to make my area feel like my own room and block the view of the front door. A well placed shelf or two. And using a lazy boy bed chair instead of a bed allows for more room because it folds into a chair or lies flat into a bed, allowing both sides of his bed to be accessible when we have guests over. And or can put a few chairs against the air conditioning for more sit space that still faces our entertainment center with plenty of walking room for flow.
another solution might be to use a shallow shelf over the bed to be used as a nightstand, but only if the shelf can be placed further down the bed than over your head
This is basically how me and hubby are. He has a bedside table at the foot of the bed between him and closet. I have a dresser on my side as my bedside table. And we have body pillows that act like headboards on top and side. He sleeps on inside I sleep on outside. 😅
i know a situation like this and it's not working since the person on the right needs to get up much earlier but the person on the right can't sleep on the left, so they can't just switch places. which is why they too have this awkward space that pnly exists for the earlier one to get out of bed.
I can just imagine the frustration of crawling in that little space to reach my side of the bed. Jumping onto it head on from the bottom seems much better in comparison
I like how he has all those miniature furniture pieces, but doesn't have any lamps 😆
Well, the miniatures are just cubes of foam stuck together

The real question is who is designing living spaces that feel more like coffins than rooms
Everyone who wants to squeeze more money than they deserve out of the building that they own.
Apartments, sometimes near colleges. They want as many people as possible paying as high a price as possible for the convenience, with no thought to quality of the space.
Older apartment buildings are being chopped up to create mare apartments in the same space. Cost of new construction plus highest possible profit drives the size of the spaces.

having the bed against the corner works for me and my partner specifically because i'm a gremlin who will sleep on top of my phone and crawl straight down off the end of the bed to get up whether my partner is there or not so. works for us !! ^^
Changing your sheets when the bed is pushed to the corner sounds like a nightmare.
One way to add slight storage for the partner sleeping in the corner is with that two-way headboard have it deep enough to act as a tiny shelf (enough for a cup of water or phone or a book to read before bed)
In this case, they wouldn't be able to get in or out of the room - everything is already touching everything, they can't afford to move the bed closer to the door.

My husband and I slept like this in our old apartment in a smaller size bed, while I was in the first trimester of pregnancy. I was against the wall and I actually loved it. It helped me sleep
Masterful solution that seeks balance over ideals...a true "rolling with the chi." Well done.
I get up at least 3 times a night, my partner at least twice.
I go to bed late, him early. He gets up early, me late.
Crawling over each other would ruin our sleep pattern so much.
Maybe try angling the bed. The head in the corner with some nightstands behind it and on the sides.
Make a “nightstand” on the wall with some nice looking hooks and caddies. That way they don’t have to keep loose stuff in the bed or bother their partner to pass them stuff
maybe switch the bed with cabinet, and change the door, sliding door or door that open on right hand side.
My husband and I started Halliday Renovation nearly 45 years ago before " flipping" became a common word. I loved looking at the floorplans and creating better living spaces by moving walls, doors, closets etc. Other Real Estate agents heard about me and would call me to their listing to explain what needed to be done to make a house more appealing. I was always amazed at the terrible floor plans , even in newer housing, that exists.
Love the matching lamps. 😁😁
i think the lateral head is KEY!!
i didn't know, but i put a fabric to cover the wall on the side of my bed. It was a different and much better experience!!
This feels like a real problem, real fix. I absolutely love the advice!
I like how he just ignores the (possibly) only charging port in the room😂
I’ve had many beds in corners like that. It makes complete sense in a small room, depending on placement of windows & door(s.) The ONLY thing I don’t care for is changing out the sheets. You can’t, of course, go back & forth getting the bedding just right. Moving the mattress can be really difficult, & doesn’t help much anyway. The only thing I’ve thought of as a solution would be for the bed to be on small, locking wheels. Unlock them to roll the bed away from the wall, lock them when you roll it back into place.
The layout you suggest is pretty much exactly what my boyfriend and I did out of necessity , so now I feel a little bit better about it xD
Luckily he doesn't mind sleeping on the wall side, because he barely ever needs to get out of bed to pee (I do way more frequently) and he also doesn't really need anything on the nightstand (I do) and he sometimes goes to bed before I do, so then it's very easy for me to join, because I don't have to climb over :)
I have my bed in a corner like this with an extra headboard. It's extremely cozy!
That rug made a huge difference
Love the lamps! 😄
i’ve never slept in a bed that had space on both sides. i have a feeling i would hate it. i like to feel cozy
I love the timing in which he cuts their video
Corner bed is so nice. I have my desk against my bed too. I love small cozy sleeping, the rest of the room is open for other things. Both windows are nice and open for plenty of light. Very very comfy~
Another alternative could be seeing if you could change the door’s swinging direction, or even install a sliding door. Might not be feasible, but never hurts to consider all your options. Love the video though! Very cute. :3
Lol I kind wouldn't mind that. I'm so used to sleeping next to a wall in my single bed that I feel weird in a bigger bed. Plus I don't get up to use the bathroom during the night 99% of the time anyways 😂🤷♀️
You will. Eventually.
@theMNswede 😂😂 Jesus, that sounds like a threat lmao 🤣
Reminds me of my brother's dining room, it used to be too tight to get pass the table, but then he removed a cabinet and now there's more space to get pass
Yeah this works. My bed is built in so is pressed up against a wall by choice - I have the side near the wall, my partner gets the open side. I have the thick built-in headboard as my bedside table (it's wide enough and fairly tall so it works) and when I need to get up and out during the night, I just slide down off the end. In an ideal world I'd be able to change it but I physically cannot so just made the room work around it!
As someone who’s been single all my life, I always shove my bed against the wall. Makes me feel secure to have my back against it when I sleep, and it always gives me more space to use my room for other stuff
I really like your videos. I'm starting to arrange things like you in my head. Each video is like a pop-quiz. Ha!
This position of the bed is VERY COMFORTABLE. I have a small room in my parents’ country house and a bed in the corner was my best idea ever
I didn't even realise those are screws , your a genius 😂❤
"oo i bet hes gonna add a rug.... YEAHHHHH!!" -my viewing experience
I feel like they should just push the headboard against the left window and add a false wall at the foot of the bed for privacy/comfort.
You could put a wall pocket on the wall for the person who has no nightstand within reach and you could also find a way to get lighting and reachable switches on both sides of the bed. There are rechargeable lamps if you don't want to wire it up but still want that.
This man is why my roommate and I manage to live in peace in a studio apartment. A few curtains to make my area feel like my own room and block the view of the front door. A well placed shelf or two. And using a lazy boy bed chair instead of a bed allows for more room because it folds into a chair or lies flat into a bed, allowing both sides of his bed to be accessible when we have guests over. And or can put a few chairs against the air conditioning for more sit space that still faces our entertainment center with plenty of walking room for flow.
Love learning about the rug (and bedhead) usage!
I wish we could see "after" pictures of people"s room if they take the advice!
This will make the room more claustrophobic with those lamps/tables, maybe just one lamp
another solution might be to use a shallow shelf over the bed to be used as a nightstand, but only if the shelf can be placed further down the bed than over your head
This is basically how me and hubby are. He has a bedside table at the foot of the bed between him and closet. I have a dresser on my side as my bedside table. And we have body pillows that act like headboards on top and side.
He sleeps on inside I sleep on outside. 😅
This man is awesome
i know a situation like this and it's not working since the person on the right needs to get up much earlier but the person on the right can't sleep on the left, so they can't just switch places. which is why they too have this awkward space that pnly exists for the earlier one to get out of bed.
I would love it if you limited the original videos so we can see more of what they're working with
Love the lamps
This is so intuitive
"Embrace the tightness." The path of least resistance.
lol, this is my layout almost exactly, including the double (soft) headboards. nice to know my decisions are validated.
I can just imagine the frustration of crawling in that little space to reach my side of the bed. Jumping onto it head on from the bottom seems much better in comparison
I feel like the biggest contributor to why the bed isnt fully at the wall is the power outlet there
