r/FengShui

I am moving into a new space Dec 2nd, and I'm having such a hard time figuring out the best way to set it up. I've done it four different ways using a floorplan builder. For context the bedroom door is on the left side, closet door is next to bedroom door, and the third door on the bottom wall is my bathroom door.

The first picture I used the commanding position for my bed, and used the balance of two side tables even though my bed isn't directly centered. I can see the door without my feet being directly out the door, and I don't have the mirror pointing towards my bed with the vanity. But with my Kua number being 5, southeast is one of my unlucky directions to be facing and that's the direction my feet are pointing and my back would be to the door when sitting at my vanity.

The second example is of my feet facing northwest, but of course having my bed on the same wall as the door I feel is a big no no, even though I have a side table in between the door and bed. I have my vanity with the mirror facing the door, and it isn't quite exactly in front of the bedroom door, but I was told not to have my back to the bedroom door when sitting at my vanity. North is also an unlucky direction for my Kua number.

Third example feels okay, but my feet would be facing northeast, and my Kua number says The north and east can cause accidents, misfortune, and difficulties, such as lawsuits, burglary or fire. I can see the bedroom door, but with my vanity that way, I would still have my back to the door when sitting at it, and my bed would partially be under the window.

fourth example obviously doesn't work as I'm facing northeast, and my back would still be to the door when at my vanity.

Im really struggling here y'all please help.

Haven't started furnishing this one yet so I'd really like some help before I need to do that. I do everything on my desk and need lots of storage for my makeup and nail stuff. I spend almost all day on my gaming laptop, ideally I'd be able to use my laptop and also do makeup (with good lighting) and my other hobbies on the same desk. For now I'm gonna be sleeping on two duvets stacked on top of each other and a duvet on top of me 😭🙏

ETA, opposite view is in the comments if that's helpful! I get that this is the internet, but this is your reminder to not be rude to strangers :)

Hey guys,
I could use your advice again. How would you improve the bedroom? Where would you put the bed?

Putting it against the wall by the entrance would have the downside of being right next to the door, and putting it between the windows would mean that the nightstand might get in the way when opening the balcony door (though I should mention that I only open the door to air out the room and not to go out onto the balcony.
And yes, that means the nightstands would have to be placed in front of the windows, so to speak.

Otherwise, I’d really appreciate any further tips and ideas! :)

Feeling really uncomfortable in my room. The indent in the wall is a fireplace. In between the two closets is also a clothing rack that I coulnd't find an image for.

Any help? I've been moving things in this room for years and it always still feels uncomfortable...

So the room is basically a rectangle, and I tried to create zones but I’m wondering whether I should flip the couch so it faces the wall instead of the window. If I do, I’d also swap the dining table to the window side, so I’d essentially be reversing the two zones.

The couch is a 3-seater, so it’s quite long, and the dining table is pretty large (it could fit up to 6 people if they really tried, although I only want to use 2 chairs for now).

One thing I don’t love about the current setup is that there’s quite a lot of distance between the door and the couch. It makes the living area feel a little disconnected or uninviting, so I’m wondering if switching the zones would feel better.

BUT the kitchen is the next room over, so practically speaking, the dining table makes more sense closer to the door, as it is in the current layout.

I’ve also tried putting the couch against the right wall in more of a commanding position and the drawers on the left wall, but then the table feels out of place and the room starts feeling crowded

I’m also open to having the couch face the dining table if that makes more sense, but I’m not sure what I’d do with the dead space behind the drawers, and do i really want my couch basically against the window?

I can’t remove or replace any furniture (furnished rental), only rearrange it. The last photo shows how it was originally arranged when they gave me the keys, and I’ve also attached a rough sketch of the layout. The door is exactly in the corner on the left wall.

Im open to any other suggestions for a different layout or anything to add in order to make it feel warmer!

Hi Ali,

I’ve really tired and thought about how to best utilise the weird shaped living room I have. I don’t want to put the TV in the space space blocking the window and want to create small intimate moments but it just feels off. Maybe due to the 2 doors and the area being blocked my chairs.

Would appreciate all suggestions

My partner will shortly be moving into the flat i currently live in. We’ve decided to re-design it together so it feels more like a joint home rather than him just moving into my space. These are the mock designs we have so far! Size of the rooms should be fairly exact. Would love some feedback especially on the bedroom as the room itself is rather small. We also need to upgrade to a king size bed as my partner is so tall his feet hang off the edge of my current double🫣. Also context for the bedroom in the corner by the window is my writing bureau, I’m currently a student so need a space to study. I get distracted easily so wouldn’t be able to study in the living room if he was also in there watching tv etc. Any feedback is very appreciated! Thanks :)

I’m moving into a new house and this will be my new bedroom. Any recommendations on what to use this small space for? The space is roughly 36” wide 8’ long
