r/FengShui

Moving into my nyc apartment soon and trying to pick out a bed. I know I want a wooden platform bed with storage space underneath, but the big question is headboard or no headboard?

I intend on getting a curtain track to cover the whole back wall (thoughts?) does having a headboard covering the window mess the room up as much as I think? Or will that look too unfinished/ collegy? Is no headboard a bad idea since the windows are recessed?

I’m looking at getting the flexispot frame. Does anyone use it without the headboard? I’m worried about having a big gap.

Let me know! Open to all suggestions.

Hi all, I know this might be a bit unorthodox but I'm trying to get my personal room sorted out in the videogame Subnautica. The room is an octagon, which is weird, but this is my current setup. I am standing at the door, which cannot be moved, but everything else can be. I didn't like my bed facing right to the window, but from what I understand in Feng Shui research, you shouldn't be facing towards the door either (coffin position?). I've also read that having a footboard can help with this, so attached is also a picture of a very thick wall I could make. I would like to keep the window where it is, since it offers the best view, but it could be moved to any wall easily (except where the bed currently is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Which desk placement would you choose and why?

Note - there are no windows in this room

Not sure what to do for layout in this studio… I’ll have a full size mattress, tv, want a couch, and will need a table to do work on… may get a coffee table of some sorts? Just want to separate my sleeping space from living space but don’t want it to be crowded since I am limited on space… help please!

First photo is how I have the room set up right now. Dimensions are like 90% accurate. Two markings on the left are closets and the two on the right are windows. My door also opens into the room. I would like to be able to access my closet that I have the headboard against right now. Floating the bed against the far wall doesn't give much room for my desk and walkability around the room so I'm sort of at an impasse. My thought process is photo 2 and maybe a curtain over the window and a room dividing curtain to block the door while I sleep. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!!!

Hi I've got a relatively small room.. 1.95m in width and 3.55m in length, but part of that length is part of a cupboard outside in the hallway so we lose approx 80cm of width and 70cm of length. The door opens there anyway though so you can essentially think of the room as 1.95m x 2.85m.

I've got a relatively nice standing desk that's 140cm wide and 60cm deep. It looks like for me able to comfortably get into my seat, I probably need around 60cm beyond the desk.

Currently I have the set-up in the second photo without a bed, but we will be moving a single bed into here.

I understand from a fengshui POV, you don't want the bed to be fully under a window and also to be able to get out of the desk more easily, it feels like setup 1 might be the most efficient use of space, but it feels like my back is a bit exposed. E.g. if I have a meeting and someone pops in, they'll end up appearing in frame, compared to setup 2. I'm not sure I'll be able to easily get out of my seat in setup 2 though so thoughts please!

Thanks in advance.

I’ve just moved into this long, narrow room and I’m not really loving the current layout, especially having the bed under the window. I’m considering moving the bed into the corner nearer the door and putting the desk under the window instead so I can get more natural light while working.

I’m also planning to add a small TV stand and a rug, but I’m struggling to figure out an arrangement that feels balanced and not too cramped. One annoying limitation is that the wardrobe is pretty flimsy, so moving it would be difficult.

Any thoughts on layout ideas or general feng shui tips for making a long narrow room feel better?

I want a huge built in closet but I also want to feel calm i the room. Any suggestions for the layout?

I would obviously love to have my bed in the bottom right corner, but this isn't possible due to the shape of the room.

Yes, I do have a bedside table that shape!

I have been wanting a sofa in my small studio apartment. It’s a necessity and I want to get it from rovelabs before end of their long weekend sale 😭 I need help with the layout where I can put it in my awkward layout. I want a separation from my bed which is why I added a peel and stick wood wall. There’s a white built in cabinet that’s an extension of the kitchen, in the middle of the apartment that is an eyesore. Which is causing me hard to add a dining/working table, a sofa without crowding the kitchen and the dresser. I tried everything and I would like someone else’s opinion.

Right now I am thinking of adding a curtain on the ceiling to cover the end of the wood wall and also cover the middle built in cabinet. I am happy to replace the circle table with a rectangle one or smaller to make space for sofa but i definitely need a table and if possible would even like to add a working desk. Please help and any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

A friend of mine is moving house and he wants to put a king sized bed into this massive bedroom. Unfortunately it seems impossible to figure out the bed placement.

Wall A: blocked up fireplace/chimney breast.

Wall B: two windows.

Wall C: in line with/facing the doorway.

Wall D: radiator in the way.

Using Feng Shui or not, any advice for where he should stick his bed in this room?

Layout has been annoying me for ages but I’m not sure how to change it

No idea where to put a bed, desk, and some sort of chair

I would use some advice on how to best position the desk and bed in my small room. I feel like there's a lot of distraction coming form the door, since it's at the end of a hallway. I prefer to have a bed on this side since there's noise coming from the other. I also like to have an empty spot somewhere, so I can stretch my body etc. Window is opposite the door, it's a reclined skylight.
There's not much space to work with but I'm hopeful the layout coud be better. I was also thinking about getting a loft bed to maximazie space.
Thanks for suggestions.

Hello all,

I have a room with sloped ceilings and I was told its bad to place the head of the bed where the ceiling slopes down. I am trying to figure out how to place my bed on the high end without blocking any energy flow since this room has a patio door as well. Will my mock layout be okay?

There’s chance I move into this apartment by the end of the week. It’s a dingy basement apartment that doesn’t get a lot of light. I have a full size bed, an l-shaped desk, house plants, and probably need some sort of dining table because there’s no counter.

Unfortunately I work from home so having my ”office” space and my sleeping space feel separate is really important to me. The baseboard heaters also leave little room for possibility. I have no clue what to do here.
