For a good reason, I've never been harmed by a round table😂 Square table edges will hit your knee and elbow funny bone at least once a month, bad feng shui
@@bustedgamer5085 I wonder if you al realise that he's not forcing you to do this 😂 I found do take his advice you can make changes you deem desirable... you have a choice in the matter. Like he has a choice of round tables too😂
Not sure there's enough room, but I might put the bed in that corner that's in front of you when you come in through the door. The bad feng shui place 😅 But I'd make a "wall" between the doorway and the bed from a bookshelf or preferably some storage thing where you can also hang your jacket and leave your shoes. That way there'd also be a proper "entry hall" kind of space (don't know the proper word for it in english). And this would leave a bigger open space for other stuff.
Nice idea :) I would do a murphy bed with storage and a windowsill cozy reading nook with storage underneath. Square table that can double because round ones are just less space efficient and it's more difficult to have an expanding one A bench at the end of the bed can separate the space and become extra seating place too
I can't handle this one. Why not get rid of the table & chair, put the coach at the foot of the bed facing the door, tv & entertainment center along the wall as you come in & a medium, adjustable height coffee table?
If it were me, the side table could to exchanged for a larger table with drawers that I can use for dining and storing utensils. Or, get a drying rack to store utensils and use the drawer from the dining table to store entertainment items and extra clothing if you have them. Instead of a couch, get an entertainment set with a tv. Get a long lamp next to the tv or your bed for ambiance and a rug to tie everything together. Def follow the minimalist rule for small spaces. You don’t want the room to look clutter. Try to create as much space as possible by going for less items

I wonder how many fewer Americans would be in debt if there wasn't such a cult of cars and instead more accessible public transportation. This is embarrassing.
I dont know anyone who would feel comfortable sleeping with another person on a full sized matress. Queen is definitely the minimum for me, and King is ideal.
Small people 😂 I'm 5'8 and my girlfriend 5' and we happily fit in a full size bed. I wouldn't want bigger than a queen because I like to have lots of room in my... room 😂
@@usehername1 Yup! And depending on what version you get, a table that tucks away and tv! And side tables! I live in a narrow studio apartment and it basically turns my sleeping area into an office And living room. I have the attached table version and might see if I can upgrade next year, so I can move the table into the kitchen area when I have guests. Currently have surrounding built in shelves and cupboards around the bed on order. So all my books, electronics and linens will be put away.
@bina nocht I could have gotten that one as an upgrade for my apartment during the presale, but I needed a drafting/ironing/drawing/art/office area more! When a maximalist moves into a studio apartment. 😅
You realize it's not normal to need or want an ergonomic work chair right? If you can't comfortably sit up straight on a stool with no backrest, you need to work on your posture heavily.
@@axeldiaz7441 I think a lot of us are sitting for work and other things WAYYY more than humans should be sitting tho. And it literally can’t be helped. I sit for drawing, I sit for my 8 hr desk job… studying… like sitting for long periods is what most people are doing which over time is wearing on the body. Ergonomic chairs help release the strain. Some people don’t have to sit for such long periods so stool or other thing is ok. Also not to mention people who have back issues already from other things
@@xdlr22 that does not mean normal, just normalized. proper posture lasts hours. Not my fault that that fact coupled with your own poor posture is hard for you to swallow 🤷
@LadyASolveg looking less cramped versus actually getting good sleep and treating your body well? At that point why not just have a Japanese style bed that's on thr floor?
@@frostfang1 there are quality pull outs. Or just quality couches to sleep on. I just won't want my bed that close to my stove, because I actually cook. And not everyone is comfortable sleeping on the floor. It can be disorientating.
I thought the same thing! If your sofa doubles as a double bed, that apartment is AMAZING. You have a rounded wall floor space between kitchen and bed to even DANCE with a date in!
My grandparents have a fold-out sofa that is pretty comfortable but the fold-out couch in the hotel I stayed in recently was one of the most uncomfortable places I've ever slept. Also I think that if you're going to use them as a permanent bed they're bedder than a futon.
The vimle is not the best long term sofa-bed solution, it's more like a sofa that can be a bed. There are also beds that can have a sofa function instead like the Hemnes or Brimnes. They feature a real matras and slatted frame
@@RmRoyalflush I think you don’t realize that the Vimle actually has a slatted frame and real mattress that folds into the seating! You may have to change the mattress more frequently, but at least it looks like a “real” sofa and it’s much more comfortable as a sofa (I’ve had both the Hemnes and now the Vimle)
1. Great vid as always. 2. Could you please tell me what fengshui says about beds *above* the bedroom door? (I live in a dorm so I can't change anything about it...)
I need to seriously consider changing my room for feng shui but the problem is that i can't move half the furniture because it's mounted to the floor or wall
Fr. I swapped out a double bed for a single one because I'm single and spend more time in my room than a hypothetical person who MIGHT come into my life. I'll buy a double bed once I'm in a stable relationship, it feels worthless otherwise.
As much as I value your opinion, and I believe your decisions are made in good faith... I truly and wholeheartedly believe such a small living place necessitates an entire lifestyle change. Switch the bed with a tatami mattress, use those tiny floor tables they used in Edo Japan, and adopt zen Buddhist ideology.
As someone who is hopeful going to be looking at a 1 Bedroom Apartment in the next week or two, once I get the okay to come for the walkthrough, I am definitely looking at these videos for Decorating Advice as I doubt the place comes Pre-Furnished. Planning to start with an Inflatable Mattress but move onto either a Futon/Couch Bed or just a regular bed
Maybe some ppl don't want to or can't escape the space and they're trying to make the best with what they have. I love and appreciate your ideas but stop the shaming pls.
I lived in NYC for 25 years. I tried to not use under my bed as storage because my understanding was that it was bad feng shui -- especially storing shoes. I did find I slept better with nothing under my bed. Can you comment on this? Is there a way to store things under your bed and somehow block the energy?
First time I disagree with Cliff. I have a somewhat similar room, and I have a good sleeper sofa that sleeps two people, AND has storage. Plus a folding and height adjustable table, which can be big and small, dining table and coffee table. No way I would have the majority of my space taken up by a big bed, plus what he does renders the lovely space by the window unusable.
@@TizonaAmanthia I mean, you basically answered it yourself because it’s a fairly intuitive concept. The specialist in the subject is probably the best person to make an explanation, but I’ll happily share my take. Not in a position where anyone could spy on your work, or enter without you being able to see them, ideally without glare from windows behind you, and supported by a strong structure like a wall, but it will vary from room to room depending on what space is available. If the room were a chessboard it would be the position with the most control of the board, or whatever other analogy you like… where the evil genius would place their big mahogany desk, or where you would put an automated sentry turret to hold the space most effectively.
"bring a date home and hopefully escape this place" I see why you suggested a full bed 😂
I died at 'and hopefully you'll escape this place'!
I loved that line 😂
The day he suggests a square coffee table is the day hell freezes over
Or an actual desk
He’d probably say something like “square isnt very feng shui, the sharp edges attack at your positive energy” or something like that
For a good reason, I've never been harmed by a round table😂 Square table edges will hit your knee and elbow funny bone at least once a month, bad feng shui
@@alejandrovallejo6763i especially hate it when he swaps actual desks for round tables, it's not practical at all.

Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs had more room.

BRUH 💀💀🤣🤣
And I would also put a ceiling mounted screen to watch a movie on a projector or something so it doesn’t take up wall space that you don’t have.
I can't handle this one. Why not get rid of the table & chair, put the coach at the foot of the bed facing the door, tv & entertainment center along the wall as you come in & a medium, adjustable height coffee table?
Looks like it'd block access to the window side of the bed and to open/close windows
We need an update!

“…and hopefully escape this place.” 😂🤣 Even feng shui has its limits! 😂
Helpful ❤
I wanna see the room!
My man listened to all of us that said he doomed that one man to no females due to tiny bed.
I that having stuff under your bed was bad Feng Shui because the clutter confuses the Chi.
In the "indent" in the top right, add a custom built unit/storage and have a tv on it for netflix and chill

it feels very crowded and there's no open space. 😔
I agree. This is the first video that i don't like how he designed it.
Good gracious, too much stuff right as you walk in
Just move in with me....
The minimalist in me is screaming too much furniture. Ditch the table and chair keep the couch and make it a sofa bed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it gives headache that's why he said hopefully you escape from this place
This solution is very cramped and the table is in an horrible position though
I wonder how many fewer Americans would be in debt if there wasn't such a cult of cars and instead more accessible public transportation. This is embarrassing.
Seems crammed
Just use a f k ing folding bed that you just keep in a closet. Now you know
"That's way too small and miserable"
😂😂
🤣
Sofabed? I’ll keep commenting this in every video. No need for both bed and sofa.

Yup. Or a comfy couch you just sleep on.
Why? Why do you *need* a couch? To entertain guests? They don't want to be in your small cramped place.
@@frostfang1 it'll look less cramped. You don't NEED to entertain

I'll be moving into a similar apartment and I was thinking of getting a fold out sofa bed like the ikea vimle.
The Vimle is a great sofa! Both super comfy as sofa and as bed - I have it for guests ☺️

The person in bed closer to the window is going to have fun tripping on that stool on their way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
I mean, you can put the stool under the table when not in use can’t you?

Lolololove the sly remarks of snarks🤪
Why not get a sleeper sofa?
Single bed for sure. Find partners with nicer apartments.
I would put a Murphy bed in a place this small and figure out storage some other way. Especially to enjoy those bay windows.
And the ceiling looks high. Could probably get away with buying a high loft bed and putting the storage underneath or a cozy chair.
i'd rather be alone than have 75% of my space taken by a fucking bed

You always recommend a stool on a kitchen table for work, either you don’t look after yourself or you don’t work long hours at a desk!
I like that he includes the romance and escape factors! Top bloke 🙌🏽
Anyone noticed he used a screw for the lamp when discussing dating? Meta....

An air mattress will work until you figure out what type of bed you want.
Who tf design those “apartments”? They are smaller than a storage room
What about rooms that are square with windows on 2 walls and doors on the other 2?
As much as I value your opinion, and I believe your decisions are made in good faith...

I sleep on a 30” wide futon mattress. Perfectly fine for one person. Get yourself in order then move up
I would have put the couch back against the bed

A lamp by the stove? The bed that close to the stove?
Could you slow your rate of speech please?
These apartments look miserable
Idk if getting roasted is good for his chi
Murphy bed? why not?
Get a Murphy bed
🤣🤣
I love your channel and have used some of your advice myself, but this looks incredibly crowded tbh.
A full size bed for two people is a cruel joke
And this place looks really weird is this a zero bedroom apartment pretty much?
How do you put the dining table adjacent to the couch?
That guy looks like you have the wrong hair color but that otherwise he could be PewDiePie.
My mother always said that you should see the end of the bed when you enter a room. Sideways or straight on. Does that sound like feng shui?

The waffle house has found it's new host.
Is that night stand blocking a window or a door? This is very important; because, if you are blocking a door, that is a major safety violation.
No, when the line is drawn with solid black it's the wall.
wth even is "the command position?" is that like against the wall, but facing the door? seems wooey.
This is explained at length in many videos on this channel.
