PERFECT timing! I literally just moved into a studio and I’ve been studying feng shui a ton for the past several months. Just the other day, I even tried searching to see if you had covered this specific topic before, and I’m so elated that you finally have!
Yay! Check out living room Feng Shui for basic space planning tips too 🙌😊
Thank you Julie.🙂
Let me know what questions you have when it comes to Feng Shui and your small space. Thank you for watching 🙏✨
Julie I absolutely love these feng shui videos! I would love more on this very interesting topic...could you please cover solutions to problems such as as sleeping with the bed facing the door in the deathposition....sometimes changing the direction of the bed or placing a Crystal is not a possibility. Thanks 😊xx
Hi Julie! I have a one room studio. You said that there should be no plants in the bedroom. My bed is located on the farthest corner from my entryway. I wished to mark a landing zone by creating a small “foyer.” So I added a small table with a plant on it by my front door to slow ch'i from rushing in so quickly. Would having plants in this way be acceptable despite having no separate rooms?
I would love a video about your fav feng ship books 📚 ❤
Do flowers count as plants for the bedroom?
Hi Julie - I know you will discuss kua numbers soon. I am confused cuz my kua number says wealth and career is on the SW side (Kua number 8 or 5) and then you say SE is for wealth...and then for number 8 or 5, the SE is bad luck? Hmm...I'm confused. I look forward to your next video to clarify this
I should be studying but instead I’m watching you again…not mad.. we are moving and getting away from horrible family members and I’m obsessing over your feng shui videos …you are fire 🔥 keep it up
Breathe in the positive sis! You got this and I got you 🙌💖
Been there myself. I wish you and your family love and peace in your new life. Don't let anyone steal your light. 🌻
I really love watching your videos especially when the topics and tips are incorporated with Feng Shui. You really explain it in simple, layman's terms. Thanks Julie.
I’m so glad the information translates well Lydia! It’s not the easiest topic to understand and practice 😅
@@JulieKhuui need to place a mirror in my dining room flat. Unfortunately it has 3 connecting doors and is rectangular in shape.
Second, should I reposition the bathroom mirror? It is opposite the door.
You’ve been so helpful on my Feng Shui project, I recently moved into an apartment and I have the basics for this living space, now I have a good map on how I can make this space better for my spirit, and those who are welcome, thank you Julie! ❤
I find it so interesting and would love to learn more about it, in depth!
Same here! I love discovering new things about Feng Shui, there’s always something to learn ✨
Thank you Julie! I'm learning a lot! I know for sure that I can't sleep in a cluttered room.
That’s why I keep a small chair/ ottoman in every room for clutter. Makes cleaning a cinch when it’s sitting in one corner 🙌
U@@JulieKhuu8
You know I love ALL Feng Shui. Doesn't matter if I have already learned it!! I love hearing/learning from your insights and experience. Yes, to a Kua number video, please.
Thank you for the feedback 🙏😊
Julie I absolutely love these feng shui videos!

Check out the bedroom Feng Shui video for more tips and cures! Thank you for watching 😊🙏
Just a perfect video for an apartment… my great niece is getting her first apartment! 😊
Yay! Let me know if she has any questions when it comes to her small space 👏
@@JulieKhuu I will! Thanks for all your kindness! Love your hair, it looks longer, maybe! ♥️
I love all your videos but these are most favorites! These Feng Shui ones are amazing! You are just wonderful! Love your work. Thank you for these videos!
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel Samsara 🙏💕
Great video! And yes to more feng shui videos and kua numbers, please! 😊
Thank you for watching 🙏😊
Thank you for your feng shut videos! Yes, please keep them coming! Blessings 🌟
Thank you for watching Mayra 😊🙏
WOw your expertise in using Feng Shui to transform small living spaces was really cool. Your advice on placement, color, and decor left me inspired and motivated to create a balanced and inviting environment in my own apartment.
Awesome video , I have a small home ❤ I’m struggling with my entry way. The first thing you see is the kitchen island with the stovetop and counter. A wall hanging coat rack is behind the front door (to the right of walking in) Next to the coats is another door to the bathroom before the kitchen island. So no room for a table or bench in front of the kitchen island since the doors all open into the living space.
The landing space can always be within the home a bit when you have this condition 👍
THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THANK YOU JULIE KHUU!! THANK YOU!
Thank you for watching 🙏😊💖
Love this! And yes I would like more info on the Kua number 😊
Thank you for watching Karen, will work on this 👍😊
I just love your channel! Thank you. What do you do with your bedroom when you have two doors? One door to enter from inside the house and another door to a private garden? The doors are in corners opposite each other. Thank you, Julie! - Nora
Reference the main entry door when choosing a placement for the command position. You have the two remaining walls to do this Nora 👍
@@JulieKhuu Thank you, Julie!
This is a great video being ppl are going to smaller spaces/tiny home. I be over ppls house looking at their placements of things like oh no honey your chi is messed up in here which explains your mood.😂😅 Nd then I give tips from watching your videos. I love how your not just an interior designer your also a energy designer as well. Feng shui is one of those things you need but just never knew you needed it. Im trying my best to go full chi certified ✅
Haha yes, Feng Shui has nothing to do with how large your space is. It’s all about spatial planning and the direction chi moves 🙌✨
I would love to see an in depth video on the lucky sector and Kua Number. 😊
Will do Lisa! Thank you for watching 🙏😊
Yes please, more of these good energy videos. Moving in to a new home in the next couple of months…
Watch the Feng Shui playlist to catch up with basic home tips! 👍😊
@@JulieKhuu I am thank you very much!
Whenever I see a Feng Shui video from Julie, I instantly click 😂
That’s awesome, thank you so much 😊🙏
Thank you @Julie Khuu for sharing your #FengShuiTips on apartment living spaces. We're planning to move into a modern high rise apartment in DTLA, and I'm searching for ways to help maximize our home living space through positive Chi and good energy.
Hope these videos help Lindsey! Apartments are tricky since they’re a shared space, but it’s what you do in YOUR space that matters most 🙌
Would love a video on Kua numbers please! Love your videos Julie!!
You got it Cindy! Thank you for watching 🙏😊
Great video 😊
Would love more information on single bedroom spaces!
Check out the small space series for more inspiration Tonya! 👍😊
I love these tips! Especially about the balcony.
Thank you for watching Daniela 🙏☺️
Thank you so much Julie. Love all your videos❣😍🥰🤗🙏🙏😇
Thank you for watching Dorothy 🙏😊
Love these tips! Thank you, Juli!
Oh so happy I found you and this video!! I live in a weird 2 large room apartment with half walls and am overwhelmed at where to put things. ❤
Feng shui makes a lot of sense, but now that I finally have a home, I realize that I have forgotten most of what little I knew. I do still have a sense of feeling something is right or wrong, but would like to be able to explain to others. I greatly appreciate your feng shui videos.
Go with your gut! That’s Feng Shui in a nutshell 🙌
I enjoyed these tips and hints! Please do a video on kua number. I’ve never heard of this before.
Kua number is more personalized and relates to Feng Shui, can’t wait to work on this! 😊🙏
I love your message. I need more!
Thank you for watching Sherry! 🙏😊
Yes on kua number, great, thank you Julie!
Awesome, thank you for watching! 🙏😊
I love your Feng Shui videos and the non complicated advice you give - more please, especially on Kua numbers. I read about it in a book by Lillian Too that I've owned for over 20 years. I calculated that both my husband and I are #1 - so I guess that's a really good thing 😀!! I'd like to understand it more please. Also some of the lucky Feng Shui symbols, like the Dragon, the Money Frog and Happy Buddha's and are the ones sold on Amazon auspicious ? How and where should we display them, and things NOT to do with them would be so useful. THANK YOU so much for sharing your knowledge. Martine xx
Lillian Too is the OG Martine! I still reference her books 20 years later as well! Will do, thank you for watching and sharing feedback 🙏☺️
Hi Julie, yes I would love to know more about identifying the auspicious:lucky zones in my home
what do you do if your room orientation is the exact opposite of the compass directions? For example: north is bedroom not office/"career", south is kitchen/front door, north west is patio.... for "helpful people and travel?, south west is guest bathroom for "love and relationships" ...? I guess it's good though that living room/dining room seems to be right in the center of the home for "good fortune/well-being."
Thank you so much. I'm currently going through divorce and I'm moving to a new place right now. Your tips are so helpful to give me ideas on how to create my new happy home. ❤
Thanks for sharing such valuable knowledge ❤
I follow you for years and always look younger!!
Yes, I like the Feng shui videos, keep doing them 😊
Yay, thank you Susan 🙏💖
Would love a video about using furniture to create space in spaces that are needed for multiple purposes!

You can do it Marika! Pick one room to start with, should be the room you use most in the home 🙌
Great video! Julie, could you do an update what to put above the fireplace?
I love a large statement mirror or art piece above the fireplace
More Feng Shui tips please!
I have a big question …
I live in a rental apartment on a 6th floor. Can’t do much about it. Door entrance is in the NE. When walking in to the left is the dinning/living room (East) Across the entrance door is the large lanai with big glass doors (East-SW) and across is a very tall building. From the entrance door to the right is the kitchen fallow by my child room (window is SW) and my room (West). My bathroom is in the room’s north side, and second bathroom across my child room door.
I being living here for almost a year and I feel the energy inside this home needs improvement, that’s why I’m learning about feng shui. My place is very clean and I decorate with plants and earth colors. Plenty of natural sunlight and windows always open.
I bought a small convex bagua mirror (I read in apartments you can put inside, on top of the door frame, facing to the wall. But now reading more and watching videos said should not be in apartments, but other people said to put in lanai to deflect the energy from busy streets/buildings.
My husband works in a restaurant with a lot of stressful energy. And I’m a caregiver in a hospis and working with dying seniors.
How should I used the convex bagua mirror?
Thanks Julie! This is amazing and inspirational. I read some great books on Feng Shui at a pivotal time in my life and decided to learn, live, and grow with Feng Shui. I'd planned to take a certification course for Personal Professional use, but those plans have never been executed. A friend once told me that she has benefitted from unintentional placement of her gym bag near elements and in certain areas. I often feel like some ill placed items cause blockages, and I feel relief when I Am Empowered to make Feng Shui strides. I Am regrouping, and this educative content is reinvigorating to incorporate and practice more Feng Shui where I Am now and more so where I Am going.😎
That’s awesome! Feng Shui at its core is all about intentional living Bedina 🙌⚡️
Very interesting l definitely would love more content on this subject!
Check out my Feng Shui playlist for more information Mary! 😊🙏
Hello Julie, how about aquarium,what is the best loc in my house. Thanks
Thank you for this video! Love your tips and style!😊
Thank you for watching Cindi 🙏😊
Great video Julie!
Thank you so much Chris! 😊🙏
Loved this first time watching
Thank you for watching! Hope to see you back! 🙏💕
Thank you for this video Julie! I love Feng Shui and its concepts. Unfortunately, my apartment is not set following Feng Shui principles. I started a plant collection during the pandemic and they are ALL in my bedroom because of the amazing light coming in through the window. I have noticed I don’t rest well and now it makes sense why.
How could I remedy this without getting rid of my plants?
Move them to a different place and get grow lights.
Hi Julie, I have a quick question. When you are mentioning about North, South, West and East, is that for the northern hemisphere or south? I wonder if this all applies to Australia ?
Fantastic video! I Yes to kua numbers. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching Christina ☺️🙏
What type or wall art can make my living room look bigger? Also struggling with pattern for a rug to expand the space.
Love your tips! Thanx
Thank you for watching Mayte! 🙏😊
Okay, I gotta hear about the kua in the next feng shui video!!!!! 👍🏼
Awesome, thank you for expressing interest 🙏☺️
such a perfect video! would love to know more about the kua number 😇
I love your videos. Do you have a video or suggestions on how to feng shui a massage studio and a meditation room? Thank you!
CB
I don’t yet, commercial spaces are a bit trickier, but I’m up for the challenge Chelsea! 😅
I'm new to the channel and it's because of these FengShui videos that I'm now a subscriber! You told me to so I'm doing it now: I would LOVE to see a video about my Kua number pleeeease!!
Yay!! Thank you so much for watching and subbing 🙏☺️
Julie , why did you draw the bagua in this video over only part of the house? Can you please do an example of house you draw a bagua map and how you determine north or south in your own home. I hear you do with compass to decide and other people say to do at the front door, BUT don’t know if you face the door from inside or outside to decide north or south? A visual example on your own home would help for us dummies.
You may draw the bagua map on a single room, your entire home, OR separate “zones”- that is up to you to determine how you want to demarcate space. I go over the options and more details in the living room/ how to use the bagua map video. Keep your practice consistent- I use true compass directions always. Some people use their front door to indicate “north”- I don’t do this so every space I Feng Shui follows the same practice. But it’s up to your practice what you follow. Hope that makes sense Cynthia!
I love your videos! What about tips for small spaces where you walk in the front door and are immediately in the kitchen and living room?
Watch my video on awkward entryways- I touch on this condition that is so common for many of us (myself included)
@@JulieKhuu you’re amazing! Thank you!
Excellent video 🙋♀️tx
Great video!!
“Open all the doors and windows of a barely used room so that chi can permeate the space.” Gets up and opens the slider.
And close it 30min later. That’s all you need 🙌💕
Yes please tell us more our #s and everything please. Ty
Thank you for watching! Will do 👍☺️
Hi Julie, I love your tips and videos! What do I do in a small appartement under the roof? My bed can't have a bedhead, as it doesn't fit under the roofspace. It still feels cosy tough.
I understand. I would prop up extra pillows in your case
@@JulieKhuu thank you, Julie!
Hi Julie, love your videos.. Would like to have next video share about Kua Number. Thank you :)
Will do, thank you for watching 🙏☺️
Great ideas
Interesting! Thanks!
Thanks for watching Janie! ☺️💗
I'm loving your videos and I've just moved into a new place so this is perfect. Thanks for explaining why no plants in the bedroom - I've known it, but not know why :-) Yes to kua number pls!
Yay! Kua number + explanations coming up 🙌☺️
Thank you for best Video!
Glad you liked it!
I have a whole wall in my bedroom that is a giant mirror (its sliding closet doors) tbh I love it cuz its super helpful for checking out my outfits when getting ready. Is there any way to remedy this without covering the mirror?
What about installing a curtain rod above the closet doors? Use two separate curtains so that you can open it up and tie them off to the side when you want the mirrors exposed. I’m no feng shui expert so just an idea!
Thank you for these vids. When demarcating.. do I include my entire apartment when laying out the bagua map? I noticed in the video the kitchen & entrance were left out
You can overlay the map on the entire apartment or different zones, that is up to you to determine
Thanks, I just subscribed, and I learned my mirrored slider doors for my closet that reflect my bed are not the best. I am thinking command strips and a nice print fabric. What do you think.
My mirrored closet doors are on the east side of my bedroom. On the west side is a slider to a deck. My bed is in between them with the head of the bed on the south wall. The north wall has two doors, one to the bathroom and one to the rest of my apartment. I do keep the bathroom door closed at night.
I love that idea. Or even a rod above the mirrors and just slide curtains on Dianne 👍
Great video! How do you place the Bagua over your house layout??😊
Watch my video on how to use the bagua map 👍☺️
Very good , thanks
Thank you for watching Carla 😊🙏
Loved your video! Wish we were friends 😊
Great video... so close to 500K subscribers!
We made it Jenny 😭🙏💖
@@JulieKhuu What a difference a day makes! Congratulations to you. It's well deserved for the quality of the content that you share.
Great job
Thank you so much 🙏💖
Thank for the tips Julie ! Got a question , I have a standing mirror in our bedroom but I have faced it towards the bedroom door and the closet that won’t reflect our bed . Id that ok ?
It’s ok, even better if you cover it at night with a light scarf or blanket 👍
That’s what I do . I’ll be looking forward for your other designers tip.
Julie I love all your videos and particularly the Feng Shui ones. I have a question, does the best room in the house is always the bigger one? I picked my room because it has a better view facing my backyard instead of the larger one which views the street in front of the hose and my neighbor's house. Also I do not like the wallpaper in the larger room and I can not take it down right now. I already remove the one in the bathroom and two more bedrooms, I feel like I needed to take a break from that. Am I in the wrong room? Should I star fixing the larger room and move my bed there?
No, the best room in the home for you relates to your personal Kua number. The one that helps you sleep best should also be a priority, so it sounds like the one you’re in has more privacy and a better view 👍
Why are long corridors bad?
I’m going to refurbish an apartment area and I was thinking of making not a corridor but just the same open area, as in all the doors, the front, studio, bedroom and , kitchen are all aligned, but I will put doors in to create a blockage. Do you think that is okay?
But if I open all the doors it creates one long entry way
Thank you!
Thank you for watching Hazel 🙏💖
Just discovered you and have noticed a few donts on my space. I leave the window open always, the bathroom leads to the backdoor, which I leave open always the back room is tucked away but i guess i should still close that door. O have poison arrows that i need to fix 😩 lol
Make some changes and note how the energies shift. And please come back to let me know how it goes! 🙏🏻💚
Julie I watched your video about studio apartments and you never mentioned nothing about mountain pictures where to hang them and what wall to put them on west wall or east wall or north wall I’m not sure please help me thank you.
Mountains are great images to place behind a seated position for protection. Think about a sofa, chair you have in place and a blank wall behind it 👍
@@JulieKhuu ok thank you beautiful Julie khuu. Atm I have it on the northwest wall above my sofa hope it is ok Julie.
Such a great video, thank you! :) I live in an apartment where the front door is in the North West quadrant of the bagua map if using a compass, but everywhere on the internet I read that in apartments you treat your front door wall like the north wall - This would now make it North East on the bagua. I've been practicing the latter with the north wall as the front door wall. Is it correct to use this practice? Am I doing my Kua number a huge disservice or am I unintentionally creating negative chi? Thank you so much for introducing me to Feng Shui! Can't wait for your next Feng shui video! :)
Edit: I also just realized from your videos that because I live in the Southern Hemisphere, the bagua energy map placement is flipped. So now I'm even more confused!
I use the true compass directions in my practice always. You just need to be consistent no matter which method you choose
@@JulieKhuu Thanks so much! :)
The compass chart is beautiful but impractical
Thank you for doing a video for small spaces, the big beautiful spaces you show are not a reality for some of us, so thank you for that. I happen to live in a mobile home, 16’ by 76’ (interior dimensions are 15’x75’). How would you map this out? If I consider the whole house, my sections would be 3’x25’, very odd to place items… or would you do room by room? And if room by room, do you use actual direction (N,S,E,W) or do you use the entry of each room as North? So many questions 🤔
I use true compass directions always. I would cut your space into a 3x3 grid and map it out that way, especially for a perfectly rectangular space. Should be straightforward Melissa! 🤞
@@JulieKhuu thank you Julie
I really enjoyed your video and have a couple of questions. In regards to plants in the bedroom and active energy, would that include faux plants and faux flowers?
And in regards to pictures and active energy , are pictures of trees and flowers also considered active energy?
Yes faux would be treated the same as fresh flowers/ plants. Trees and flower images are considered yin/ peaceful restful energy. Hope that helps Becca!
I live in an old home and some
widows don't open. I have ac.
How does this concept work?
Yes to the kwa number 🎉
Yay, thank you Maria 😊💖
Very nice
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻💕
Hi Julie 😊 im still struggling to make my studio apartment to feel calm. I have adhd and cant seem to get it done.
Purge first, then start layering on tonal colors. I find the muted, neutral shades extra calming when not filled with great contrast 💛
Hi Julie, should the garage/s, esp. those attached to the house, be considered as part of the 'house plan'?
Typically no, since it’s considered a storage area (cars/ seasonal items/ etc)
