    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. 😔 👸🏽

    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
      @JulieKhuu  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 🤔

    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!

      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!

      Try to focus less on the windows/ walls and more on what’s happening inside on the floor plan.

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.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Julie, I am a 70 years 😅 young Grandma who has to use a BYPAP machine,a nebulizer and have to storage 30 days worth of three different ampules at a time. I also take 18 prescriptions and all of these NEED to be near my bed. How do you recommend making all these medical necessities look nice? I have a very feminine white and mint duvet, white rounded corner turned leg nightstand with an all white 3 tiered, ventilated cart for my machines and medications. I have white Battenberg lace on my 4 windows with blackout under treatments. I have thought about adding a lace removable treatment to my cart, but my machines require air flow. I don't think that I am the only person who wants a lovely bedroom, but needs extra stuff near their bed. Would you consider doing a special segment about special needs?

    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??

    First, I love your videos. Secondly I need advice. I love design, but I always struggle with my own space so I really love this platform bed that I purchased. It has sides that protrude out all over so what I did is, I downsize my king to a queen just because I love to pee so much however, it’s not functional very Uncomfortable. I deal with the auto immune disease so space is important in this bed I by myself sleeping on the edge which to takes away of the integrity of the Matress. Both the mattress store and the furniture store are willing to let me trade out so they’re willing to let me go back up to King. The issue is the bed is large and make a statement but I can only use either one night stand or no nightstands. But the bed itself like I said it does make a statement any ideas or advice?

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.

    • @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.

      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.

    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?)
