  • In this video, I share the best and worst beds according to Feng Shui. We all crave a blissful night’s sleep and waking up feeling rejuvenated and refreshed brings with it a vibrant level of personal Chi energy. The bed has everything to do with how we achieve that level of relaxation so let’s focus on the best bed shapes to help us harness all that positive energy while also understanding what makes certain shapes and materials so bad.

    If you have a bed shape or frame that you’re still unsure of, let me know in the comments below! Remember that it’s more important to understand how you feel in your space vs. what Feng Shui principles suggest. Thank you for watching everyone! 🙏🏻☺️

      I passed! LOL Hey Julie, thank you so much for this one YET AGAIN! I had no idea that headboards were necessary for good Feng Shui but have been wanting one for our king bed for a while. But instead of investing in one, I am deciding to build my own. And I LOVE that wood and rectangles are the best choices here because I like simplicity and nature. I wasn't sure if the footboard was necessary but now I know. I just love your channel, girl, it's taught me so much! Thanks!! Geri

      I have 2 beds (malm from ikea) but they are one full and one twin in the same room next to each other. They are in the wall with window in the center to avoid the coffin. Having 2 different sizes of bed affect the Feng Shui? Should I get just Twin beds? Looking some of the photos from the video. I think I wanna cover the whole wall (11’) with curtains.

    • @jennyjenkins877
      @jennyjenkins877 2 роки тому

      I'm surprised you loved the headboard that looks like a pull-out couch at 12:00 because of the division of the cushions in the middle. That's based on thinking they're attached though. If they're not, I can see how it would qualify as passable but I'm definitely not a fan of how poorly shaped the cushions are and the random tufting on the side (arm?) of the headboard.

    • @ilovebobsdonuts
      @ilovebobsdonuts Рік тому

      Julie, your video promotes a taller headboard for feng shui. I live in a studio apartment and have tried to keep the height of my furniture relatively balanced to avoid making my bed seem like it is overpowering the rest. What do you suggest for headboard height in this situation? I thought something low and very wide would help maintain the feng shui. Thanks in advance!

  • @ErifRion
    @ErifRion 3 місяці тому

    I just started coming across your videos recently and I really enjoy the way you present feng shui principles. It really helps as I get into it more and start applying it to my life. You mentioned asking if there's a frame/shape I'm unsure of, so here it goes.
    I'm moving soon and I want to take this new opportunity to restructure my sleeping space for the better. I'm moving to a very old house and my bedroom is in the southeast corner of the house, but it's small. The room is only able to accommodate a twin bed, but I'm single and I'm not looking to enter a relationship, so that's not a concern for me. The door faces into the side of the closet which helps with the coffin position, but the wall the door is on is the only solid wall in the room. The two walls without the door or closet both have one oddly placed long thin window each, which makes positioning the bed tricky by feng shui standards, from my limited understanding. I've been considering an upholstered daybed with a high back, and wrapped sides, positioned lengthwise a few feet from the furthest of the the windows, opposite the closet/door side of the room, but facing the door. This would keep the commanding position, and symmetry in the room, and avoid coffin positioning, but I know not having the bed against the wall can be a no no. With the larger back to the daybed, would this help to mitigate that? You also mentioned daybeds representing more transient symbolism, though the ones I'm considering are without a trundle beneath it and are very much meant to look and feel like a permanent fixture. I'd prefer to avoid a traditional bed style if I can, as this room would feel extraordinarily small if I did and leave little room for much else, hence my initial look into daybeds to begin with. Are there other options do you think I should consider with regards to the positioning in the room, or the bed itself?

    I really enjoy learning about Feng Shui. I was so proud of myself when I got the multi-panel wood headboard answer correct. I said, "nope, poison arrows." I don't have a headboard because I have an adjustable bed. I don't see how it would be possible to attach one, so I would have to hang it on the wall. I'm so challenged with such things, lol. At least my bed is in the command position, although I have terrible sleep most nights, and as I had commented before a while back, I KNOW it's because that wall is connected to the neighbor's bedroom, and I feel all the negative chi coming through. Still, I don't want to put my bed in my total loss direction (East) or coffin position.
    Thank you for this segment, I learned so much, Miss Julie. :)

    Julie Hi, redecorating the main bedroom, and taking this as an opportunity to rearrange things and sought out your advice on bedroom design. I have had different headboards over the years, and find that something with rails is the most suitable for me. It allows for good circulation of air, ensuring a good night's sleep, it is also practical in terms of function, and to me more aesthetic. You can stretch your hands or feet through the bars- giving you a sense of more room, your head does not feel hemmed in by a monolithic barrier immediately behind your head, this gap serves to give a sense of space and air. You are free to attach ornaments or wrap or drape fabric over the headboard for temporary or permanent display. It provides an open space with which to interact, affording more options for fun and recreation, and well as being infinitely practical, one can attach reading lights, decorative lights (tho need to make sure they're earthed!- likewise if the bedframe is metal). It allows one to physically interact with the structure of the bed in a quite practical sense that one can actually hold, be part of, stretch and react etc. Indeed is this not how Joseph Hubertus Pilates started- for which the World must in part surely owe a big thanks.

      I like grabbing the rails when my husband and I are getting intimate lol it's the only reason I haven't changed ours in the 15 years of being married. I can grab them when laying on my back and it gives me leverage to pull my butt and legs up off the bed or when on top, grabbing them lll sorry for the TMI but some people might not realize how great of a role they play 😏

    I loved this video more so since I am planning to get a tufted button headboard but with leather/vinyl for my king size bed. I would like a linen headboard but it catches on to dust easily and gets dirty as well. Would like to know your views? Thanks.

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  2 роки тому +1

      I’m not a fan of vinyl (unless it’s high grade) since the plastic degrades over time Daizy- it has no longevity. Love leather, but if you’re prone to resting your head against the headboard, hair product residue will show over time. Love fabric and I find it so easy to vacuum and keep clean with the little attachment made especially for upholstery and furniture. Hope that helps!

      The pillows aren’t permanent so not considered split Lori. FB marketplace and OfferUp have great deals on barely used beds and headboards. Often times people can’t return new items since they’re past the return window so you can score brand new for way less. Good luck! 🙌🏻

    Hi Ms. Julie🤩
    I have a good solid wood with foamed fabric as headboard but to be in synch with my native tropical theme in the house, I added a woven abaca divider with 4 panels at the back which serves as a focal point wall in the bedroom and to create an optical illusion of wider dimension for the bedset and matching end bench. Is it still good feng shui because of the additional panel divider ? Thanks and more beauty and power to you🤩

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  2 роки тому +1

      The wood + fabric headboard is great Nimfa. The divider, not so great. I outlined in the previous bedroom Feng Shui video that each panel hinge creates poison arrows so I advised against it. You may lay it flat against the wall to create the same visual statement without the negative chi. Watch that video again to see the reference.

      @nimfadg7554 2 роки тому

Window is about 106” and there is 22” of wall on one side and 44” on the other. Should I just center on window? Centering on the wall and putting drapery on each side does not seem right considering would want maximum window exposure. Thanks.

      I would center on the wall regardless of what’s happening with the windows Kathy. That will allow you to maximize the size of the nightstands. The symmetry will make the back wall feel balanced and Feng Shui loves that. But then again, it’s your space and your design intent. Do what feels right to you

    In my bedroom the only wall I could put my bed on was the far wall (which always is my first choice) there was a small window that was only on the right side of where a headboard would go so I added 2 paneled mirrored on the left side that look almost exactly like the window so now it appears the bed in up against 3 windows. It acts as a headboard becuase the existing window is too low anyways to have a headboard. I had a nice wooden frame though. My question is: should I add pull down shades to the mirrors as well??
