    I personally would choose to have the living room and bedroom reversed.
    I have a sleep disorder and having a window right in my face would be terrible. 😭 Putting my bed in the center would allow me to close off any sunlight when I don't want it. Plus, when I am awake, I can enjoy the view better from my living room and work desk than my bed!

    • @cheesecake4648

      @alex_gmtm  16 днів тому

      That sounds like a great plan! Having the flexibility to block sunlight when needed and enjoy the view from your living room and desk can definitely create a more comfortable and functional environment. It’s important to prioritize your needs, especially when it comes to sleep.
      There are also systems available now that completely block out sunlight, so it won’t bother you.

    😂how would the fengshui guy say about position of the bed??

    • @alex_gmtm
      @alex_gmtm  16 днів тому +1

      Haha, good question! 😄 A Feng Shui expert might say that the bed position is crucial for creating good energy in the room. Ideally, the bed should be placed so that you can see the door without being directly in line with it, often called the "command position." It helps to have a solid headboard and avoid placing the bed under a window. Of course, the specific recommendations depend on the room layout and the individual’s energy needs!

      Thank you for sharing your perspective! It does have a shared-living feel with private units, which can come across like a higher-end hostel. Ultimately, it depends on whether the communal conveniences and private space balance out the cost for each resident.

    But there are advantages exist like the view 🪟 noone see me ❤ I'm not exposed 😮😮, the surrounding cafe, gym, even the laundry 🧺 in the same floor ...IDK I'm confused but in total i liked it.....Fatma from Egypt 😊
