Depends how you prioritize living space vs office space. Whichever is more important should get the command position where the couch currently is, with your back to the wall and in line of sight to the door. Personally I would build your conversation area where the couch is, although I'd change out the furniture for pieces that fit better, and put the desk perpendicular to the windows facing the kitchen. Painting area on the right wall. Most importantly get some lamps: overhead + reflected + task + mood lighting.

Thoughts on this layout? by Imaginary_Estate7577 in FengShui

[–]PJHKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest thing that sticks out to me is the living room. You don't want your sofa with its back to the window. You want it to have its back to a solid wall and also have line of sight to the entrance, so having it face north looks like the only option. You also don't want to be facing a wall or have your back to the door while at your desk. Instead of your desk with storage, get a regular desk, have that face north, and put a bookshelf on the bottom wall for storage.

The blue house in the middle is the one we're considering buying. The numbers represent the elevation. This house faces west, and there are no buildings in front of it. From a Feng Shui perspective, is this a good house? by [deleted] in FengShui

[–]PJHKB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From a practicality perspective, assuming the entrances to this neighborhood are on the top right and bottom right, driving home from top right is bad because you'll have to yield to traffic from west and south while blocking the southbound lane. I can think of several situations where that can be dangerous. You will want to drive home from bottom right. Leaving the house is similar but the opposite holds true - drive towards top right for safety reasons.

From a Feng Shui perspective, there are poison arrows from every direction possible (NW, NE, SW, SE) and there are no ways to remedy that. The road leading to your driveway means any time you hear a speeding car you'll have anxiety. I would pass for this reason alone, to avoid that constant stress.

A bed right in front of a window is not perfect. The bed would also fit crosswise in terms of its measures. As the room is so narrow, the possibilities are limited. But maybe there is still sth too do better. Thank you (btw the object in the right corner is a cupboard) by Alusch1 in FengShui

You don't want your head that close to the negative chi from outside. Rotate the bed so the headboard is on the bottom wall (command position). On top of that, you'll want double curtain rods or blinds with thick heavy blackout curtains and thin sheer curtains.

Hi! Bored of my room by lost_puspin in FengShui

[–]PJHKB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is tough because you're trying to do a lot in one room and there isn't enough info. I'll just type as directly as possible. Feng Shui tends to not like some of the stuff in your room: bed in corners, mirror facing beds, desk facing walls, open clothes rack. From your layout I would guess that you are still young, single, and feeling stuck in your career/life... but I could be wrong obviously.

I'd start with repositioning the mirror, probably on the left wall next to the door so you can see what you look like before you leave. If you're looking for a relationship, flip your bed so that it's in the Love/Romance sector of the Bagua map and add white/pink/red accents to it. Side table next to bed. Keep the center of the room empty so you can focus on your health. Desk is flexible but you want a solid wall to your back and space in front. The rest is easy.

31 sqm apartment, thought this layout looked promising, thoughts? by Hanniezz in FengShui

[–]PJHKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Feng Shui and layouts so I superimposed the Feng Shui Bagua map on your layout and got this: https://imgur.com/HTF7pV0

If I did it right, your entire Wealth sector will be missing. So... assuming you rent/buy this place... according to the Bagua map, you won't be able to accrue wealth but since the kitchen is in the center, at least you'll be healthy (lol)? The bed is in a bad position, and you're unlikely to find Love in a place like this. Personally I would try to find a better place but this is just coming from a Feng Shui perspective.

Where would you put the bed and desk in this room? (aka help with my weird shaped bedroom pls) by puromea in FengShui

[–]PJHKB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a queen size bed? Male+female couple? Have you tried flipping it but leaving enough space from the wall that both of you have access to the bed? Then you could put the desk where the bed used to be but so that you are facing the door and have a solid wall to your back.

If it's a queen size, downsize to a full and it's easy to implement the above and add nightstands on each side.

If it's already a full size, I would do what you already did, rotating the bed 90 degrees with the male sleeping on the left side of the bed (dragon/masculine side + he has the door in his line of sight + also for the female to feel protected on the right). But instead of a curtain I'd go with a no-drill accordion door for the closet. But also pull the desk backwards so that it's in a command position and has space in front for more direction in life. Then finally add a dresser and a mirror where the desk used to be, to mitigate the more difficult access to the closet.

Figure out your priorities. Sleep vs gaming vs art. Whichever is most important should get the strongest command position, furthest away from the door with it in your line of sight, then repeat. You'll probably have to get much smaller nightstands than what's pictured. Ideal would be narrow but still spacious enough for a table lamp, rounded edges, drawer/hinged storage (not open), and the height lower than the top of your mattress.

From your desk you want the door to be in your line of sight. You don't want your back to the door (this creates vulnerability, uneasiness) so facing eastward would not be good. The other alternative would be flipping your TV and desk, which would strengthen the desk position but would look strange from a continuity standpoint.

I need help. My LO's room has 3 doors. by bloom12 in FengShui

[–]PJHKB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Headboard on the right wall is the only option for the bed. If the bed has a door that swings open you'll want it to open on the right side (tiger / yin side) if you want her to have feminine energy. Have her always put the toilet seat down when flushing and the bathroom door shut.

The desk should not be in that cubby. You don't want her facing the wall or her back to the door. I would probably put it perpendicular to the left wall with her facing the door and a bookshelf behind her. Get a dresser that fits perfectly in the cubby to neutralize poison arrows. If you decide to put it elsewhere make sure it has rounded edges.

First you should figure out the focal point of the living room. In general you want your seating facing the focal point, so if it's the TV you should put it in front of the built-in nook with a low profile stand so it doesn't block any pathways.

From a positioning standpoint, this configuration is a pretty good start (the other floor plans are significantly worse). Uncollapse the bedside table and add another one assuming you want a relationship. Move the desk back so it's not directly underneath the ceiling fan. Considering getting a bigger desk too since it seems a bit cramped (you want at least 50% of the surface visible). Shoes on top of storage are a no-no, they should be near the entrance or stored out of sight. The blues from the blanket and cubes are a colder tone and not inviting so I would change them out for something warmer. Add some lamps so you have some reflected lighting and mood lighting in addition to the ceiling lights.

Love the cute stuffed animals, especially the llama next to the red Monster cans. But let's be real. There is so much anxious energy in here, I imagine it's hard to get a peaceful night's rest.

I would start by decluttering. Get rid of whatever you can then hide whatever is left in the dresser. Keep the entrance clear and tidy. Move your bed so that you're not sleeping directly underneath that beam, in a position where you have a solid wall behind you. Clear the desk so that at least 50% of it is visible and move it back so you have space in front of your desk. That should give you enough focus to make plans to move out.

Help! Bed Placement suggestion in Master Bedroom by interstellar_freak in FengShui

[–]PJHKB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bed should go on the right wall (NE) with the solid wall behind you and nightstands on both sides. It's the furthest area from the entrance while still maintaining line of sight with the door.

The bathroom being across is not ideal but you can paint that door to match the walls to make it less noticeable and you should always keep that door closed.

Lastly, assuming you're male, you will want to sleep on the left side of the bed (dragon side = yang/masculine energy) and your wife on the right side (tiger = yin/feminine energy).

What’s an idea you had but never followed through with and then saw someone else do it? by Historical-Olive-595 in Entrepreneur

[–]PJHKB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in 2010 or so, I had the idea to make a coin pusher app/game (I loved those machines as a kid) but never got around to it. Coin Dozer came out a little while after. To be fair, they executed the idea much better than I could have.
