before and after Feng Shui interior space planning transformation

- Опубликовано: 1 май 2021
- I have been talking about Feng Shui theories, so let's try a practical example so you can really feel the effects of this. In Feng Shui it is not so much interior design, but more of logical space planning, but in doing so you usually get much nicer spaces. note that we did not change any furniture, or did any interior design, it is basically shifting furniture around. the effects are clear, where the lady now works much better, in fact she looks forward to working in her new dedicated spot and her sleeping area also feels more secure. do ask any questions if you have.

Crazy how simply moving the furniture around can completely change the atmosphere and feeling of a room. Great job by the way
thank you! it surprises me sometimes too!
It can feel like moving if you do it right....
✔😎I've LℹVED ℹT‼👌
Or how decluttering can make a huge difference
I love how you focus on moving what already exists instead of getting all new stuff. Magic
That's my favorite part, using what you have (maybe adding a bonus piece if space is good). Instead of the shows that go out and spend two months rent on new furniture (just..what?). It's so nice 🥰
Seriously!!
Yeee very true but he replaced the desk in this one to a more suitable one
Love that you show real places with limited space/budget unlike those shows that have amazing, huge rooms and an almost unlimited budget. It is so helpful because it is much more relateable!
Honestly what a sweet woman to give up her own space so her kids can have privacy in their own rooms. Great mom!
This is great as long as it doesn't stress out the mom. If it stresses her out, it's not good. It won't be bad for her kids to learn how to share.
@@dottiebaker6623 But there's also a difference between sharing and not having privacy because you always have to let somebody else in your room. Privacy is much more important here when they reach a certain age, they can learn to share in many other ways.
@@schrodingerskatze4308 thats very true. I grew up with a brother and a single Mom and we didnt have much then, but we all had our seperate rooms. I grew up in a low income family but still having my own private space and that has been so worth it for my personal development. Also I love to share, and especially with my brother! Literally brings me so much joy, and we have the best relationship
I think he meant kittens, not kids ;) (kitts)
I'd say the kids are selfish for letting their mum not have a room so they get their own space.
The living room should be a communal area, and the kids should share a bedroom instead.
I shared aroom until I was 18. If my mother would have told me to have my own room and she sleeps on the sofa I would have said no.
I thought moving the desk that way you would lose space but I see that it actually creates space!! Great job!!
I know it's counterintuitive and fascinating to see, and the model it's interesting because you can understand the feng shui decisions from the model, but you can't feel how it's going to look until you see the real room
The cat has their perfect command position as well ^_^
Love your videos! Inspiring and uplifting thank you! :D
Thank you for your kind approach to common constraints with space and resources.
I was raised in an environment where Feng Shui was only ever brought up as the butt of jokes or by people who, now I look back, didn't really understand what it is actually supposed to be and mean. So I didn't have a high opinion of it.
You've shown me the true sense and brilliance of understanding Feng Shui and when I get my own place I'll definitely be using all I've learnt and doing some research too.
I first learnt about Fengshui in freddy vs jason🤣
not only does every person have a safe sweet private space, but even the cats get a large amount of private space, you can tell this is a family with great respect.
I love your videos, please never stop making them
thank you! then I will keep doing them:)
My mother gave up the bedroom--always--so I could have my own space. She slept on a not-very-comfortable couch in the living room. I wish she had had access to someone like Cliff to help her make the space even a little nicer than it was. She did her best, but everybody needs help sometimes. I am forever grateful to my mother for the space and privacy she always went out of her to give me. She was the best mother I could have hoped for.
That is so sweet, thanks for sharing! please let her know this and bring her some flowers or treats!
I appreciate that you put the light source so that light shines in through the windows on the diagram
It's always placed that way and it's amazing! the shadows are where they will be in reality, so helpful!
I guess I've been instinctively feng shui all this time! I despise working with my desk facing a wall and my back to the door! I always want to put my desk out a bit so I can sit behind it and face the room. LOVING these videos!
I think it worked out great!
One thing to notice. It's unhealthy to have a monitor to the side of your sitting point. It's better to put it just in front of you. So your back wouldn't be always twisted, and you'll save it's health in long period.
I personally have back issues after sitting “with a twist”, so that one thing I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
It looks very light weight, easy to move when actually working.
I would personally not have two couches and replace one couch for the tv
@@thelostmessenger 1st they dont watch tv much. I'd move it over into the corner, even more, for more shelving or storage space.
Also one couch is a bed, so getting rid of the other one means ppl are sitting on her bed! 🤯
Important ability point. Also, if I recall, it's not advisable to have computer monitor screens directly facing sunlight (that is, where sunlight [or a light source] will shine straight at the screen), as the glare will always be a problem. But perhaps there's a shield or something one can purchase & apply to screens to prevent that?
I was a bit sceptical, but when you showed the view from the desk it made so much more sense because, let's be real, you don't spend your time standing in the doorway, but at the desk, so that viewpoint matters more.
Great work!
i love having the desk facing the rest of the room and getting the light from being in front of the window and in a commanding positon! Genius!
What a mother! Anything for her kids, absolutely love it!
Simple and so effective. Your videos have inspired me to rearrange a LOT in my home, but you make it look easier than it is!
It looks so much calmer and a place you'd really want to spend time!
I like the slower, quieter approach to this video and I don't miss And Now You Know!
LOVE the look and feel of a good, commanding desk position. I tried it myself, and immediately it felt so... "YES!"
Talk about a mom giving everything for her kids. Love watching your videos
Simply elegant, I could also spend a lot of time working and sleeping in that room.
Amazing how it looks in the end 💚 it opens up the room so much and creates a cosy place to sit + a nice place to work from
This is exactly what I did with a large desk in my living room. It is in the command position, thanks to the advice from this channel! ❤
I think it’s blooming amazing! Total change just by rearranging. Wow.
I love these! I’m learning so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing.
I admire your work. You help people to work with what they already have, and you heal their homes. You are amazing. Thank you!
Much better! And the room is neat, and organized, too. That's quite an accomplishment, living with 2 children!
I also appreciate the comment about the window being behind the desk not a big deal since she's so high up. Makes sense.
I need to hire this guy to do all my rooms. 😂
It helps to see the actual room. It makes more sense.
OH NO!! You didn't say "now you know"!! Amazing what a few changes make,
I love watching you create a magical space In every room and project you do! ❤😊
OMG ... I'm really good at visualization, but I couldn't "see" this. You nailed it! Two huge sofas ... wow
"What do I think?" I think the only possible thing left to do is get her to install a neutral sheer behind her desk. That solves feng shui & also cuts glare from the monitor. (You are GOOD at this!!!)
I love your videos please never stop making them
It immediately felt better when you showed the after arrangement.
No new furniture required - I love it. The new arrangement is really nice😊
Honestly for a long time I thought feng shui was nonsense till I started watching and paying attention to what it actually is, and I'm loving it, thank you so much
It feels so much better! These principles really work!
Would it make sense to put the 'cat tower' to the left of the window, next to the desk -> so the cat has also a very good and secure overview over room ?
They do? The cat also doesn't have to worry about two angles from the current position making it an even more secure location for them.
And if you mean practically the same position across the room, why? It's literally achieving the same thing.
They need a spot to put the litter boxes and that left corner seems to be it.
Cats like to spend lots of time watching out windows. It would be a kindness for these confined pets.
I thought the same. It achieves several things: allows cats to sit in warm sun and view out of window, which they like (though likely not much to look at in a high rise), it puts the cats closer to their human, it decreases startle factor vs being alongside door, it allows an enclosure for the cat boxes against two walls (plus a screen?), it allows the cats to see the comings and goings in the hall and into the room, and it decreases the visual of the litter boxes in line of sight as entering the room. The downside is it clutters the window view, so maybe a more appealing and less bulky cat tree design?
@@Trenchant468 Lot of good points 👍👍
So great! You’re doing a fabulous job. And I love how you do your videos.
Great looking solution and very empathetic to make a great living room which is also a great bedroom
I love your videos -- been binge watching your stuff for over 5+ hours now hahaha
This looks sooo much better!! Wow!!
It looks so much better ! ❤❤❤❤❤ I love these videos!
I know minimalism is trendy, and is counterintuitively expensive, but fewer lose items, smaller/less bulky furniture, foregoing unused furniture and devices, maximizing storage and injecting transparency when possible are things to strive for when you have limited room. It makes a difference.
I am becoming a fan! Thank you. Loved it
Thank you for these videos. I love them!
very nice!!! the only thing that bothered me is the window behind the desk, which i've read somewhere can bring something like lack of confidence or credibility in your work. I would maybe add a curtain. Thanks for producing this kind content!!
He said normally it would be an issue but it was ok because it’s an upper floor so no one will be peeking in and looking over your shoulder.
Screen glare might also be a problem unless the brightness is cranked, which is also its own problem. Curtains are already there though, so I'm sure it's not that .ugh of an issue.
Thank you. This helps me change up my living spaces.
It's a small change, but it's excellent how it changes the vibe from "we stuck a desk in the living room because we have no space" to "this is my office with lounge area."
Makes a huge difference with creating zones and just looking at the room on video I can feel the shift in energy.
I love those sofa's.
Good work too.
Well done great result! Possible glare on computer monitor from window light but easily fixed with anti glare screen protector. 👍
I have a two room apartment. Kitchen/living room and a bathroom. And two doors that lead to the courtyard outside(I live in the French Quarter, New Orleans) I just got a Japanese futon and tatami mat so I can put my bed away during the day and my mat leans up against the wall. Then have a lot more room to do anything. My living room is only 10x13 ft. But hey I got an actual fireplace. Rare for the French Quarter.
Hmm, now when she's sleeping her head is near the work monitor. Wouldn't that disturb sleep? May be adding something to block the monitor from head would be good.
Amazing transformation.
WONDERFUL JOB and cute cat content!
Amazing! I will use your advice ❤️
Excellent job!
Great video, you could also try showing examples in The Sims game, I feel it would be very easy to show examples in a 3D environment
People have told me that, but I have never tried!
@@DearModern The Sims has a restrictive building system compared to the types of floorplans found in real life.
Plus, you are already demonstrating it in a 3D environment with the models you use. They're amazing.
You’re brilliant! I thought for sure one of those couches was going to have to go lol
We’re moving house soon and I’ve found myself cramming all of your videos so I can work out where to put everything. 😅🎉
Nice transformation. That’s crazy though. I always had to share a room with my sister growing up.
More like these pleaseeee!
Looks very good!
Purely from a practical point of view, it is not good to have window behind your desk when you are using your computer. The sunlight shines on the screen and makes it hard to see. This can cause eye strain and headaches.
The optimal position for a computer screen by a window is to have the screen at 90 degrees to the window. This reduces so much glare and makes it easier to work.
I think it looks great! However what I really can't wrap my brain around is the position of the desk in the command position. My desk faces a wall because I have three monitors and I absolutely hate seeing the back of the desk with all of the cords running everywhere. If I flipped my desk into the command position in my office I think I would visually hate it, and it seems like a hazard to trip in the middle of the room with the cords and stuff. Plus the wires will have to run on the floor past my chair to the outlets on the wall, which seems impractical. Do you have any advise for me in that regard? Thank you.
Hey man, im not dearmodern, but a suggestion that i did myself was puting a new layer of barrier in front of my desk, a plank of wood, and made the cables hidden with this plank, u sill can see the cables leaving the screens, but its for a while, and i usually organize then with clippers and other stuff to make them stay together and cluttered. Anyeayz, its just what i did, dont know if its a good solution or not, hope u can find what u looking for
You could look for some cord organizers to keep cords together, there are some that let you run them along specified paths. Maybe get a freestanding whiteboard or bookcase if you still want a barrier.
I flipped the position of my desk from having my back to the room to the command position and it made such a difference for me.
I have the same feeling about this. some suggestions here are useful but ignore the fact that the vantage from the room looking back towards the Desk is the backs of 2 or 3 Screens with their cords even if the cords are tidied it still looks horrendous. I don't want to put the desk facing towards the window as it will block the view that I bought the house for. and people outside looking up towards the window will see this ugly mess of screen backs. it's just tacky. There is nowhere else in my house to put my desk, there really isn't. Maybe I should take pictures and draw a scaled map of the floor plan and send it in... Frankly if I could move I would have another room in my house that I could make my office. Dreams....
I would put the desk next to the right couch (from the door) using the window sill for the laptop because its hard to have the sun on the monitor and you could look out of the window while working. You can then put a board at the wall over the desk for the office stuff.
Amazing difference!!
I liked it a lot! Just thought that maybe the blank wall behind the tv asks for some painting or other object to fill a bit the feeling of "big blank wall swalling our atention". Apart from that, great results!
Or maybe install the tv directly on the wall so that it could look a bit more centralized, the desk without tv maybe a green plant and thats it
I know this is an old video, but I’d love to see more of your processes
What about glare from the window onto her computer?
Very nice! ❤
Love it
I think if ppl don't watch TV why have one. TV is a terrible waste of space that could be used for games or reading... Lovely setup. I'm learning a lot from you about how to set up my tiny house
Looks better, only one more change - the children can share a bedroom with 2 twin beds and she can have the other bedroom. Kids have been sharing bedrooms for years and in some places still do.
there's no info on what ages the kids are, or what gender (for example, a teen boy sharing a room with a teen girl would not be appropriate)
Thank You
Rooms feel nice but I feel that the glare on the computer monitor coming from the windows behind me would kill my eyes in minutes.
But I don't like the have the window right behind, because then the glare on the computer screen makes it hard to see
Hi Dear Modern - love your channel! Esp. this video as I have a cat :-D What do you suggest for placement of floor/table air purifiers or fans? It's not something I've seen being addressed in Feng Shui so far :-) Thanks.
Looks much improved. I’d also try to move the cats’ litter box into the bathroom, so you’re not sleeping with the added aroma of cat waste.
@Dear Modern how to place desk in command position if I need to have 2 big monitors on the desk? ☺️
I'd close the backside of the desk. And maybe place a nice plant on the corner of the desk. To creat a bit more of a living room atmosphere.
Nice
This is a particular setting and it made sense to me right away but then I thought about how the bed usually should be against a wall so that there is security behind the head, right?
I’m definitely would love you to do my living room and my bedroom and my bedroom see what you can do because we live in a very small house
Said to the cat "Hello....even you love it". Hilarious!
Should she put curtains on both walls with windows? Esp the windows to the kitchen? Also, where does she put her clothes?
I NEED you at my house SO bad! 😮
this HAS GOT TO BE a Turkish family's home
Now no one can watch TV without hurting their necks! Perfect.
You also claim that moving her bed to the other wall would mean it's not so bright. But it's the same distance from the window with no obstruction of light except for BELOW the level of the couch.
He said nobody watches the TV anyway.
@@j1407bmoon he said they don't really watch TV which is why it's fine for them, but it's not. Why maintain it as an object in the room if it's not being used? It also adds no ornamental value as it's not a decorative item, but a piece of technology intended for a specific use.
It's also directly in front of the view space of the desk, creating a different distraction or opportunities for distraction for the person working.
And if they do use it, but only on occasion... Congrats, your neck will only hurt sometimes!
He helped the mother have a more peaceful sleeping area and helped create separation between living and working from home in a special circumstance (it's both the living room and her bedroom). Creating that balance is a success for them even if you have a different opinion on whether they should own a TV if they don't plan on using it for long enough periods to strain their necks. Showcasing how to solve specific concerns for specific people really demonstrates how every house has its own needs but also can be served well with fengshui principles! If your primary activity in your living area is watching TV, it wouldn't work for you and that's okay. It wasn't your house or needs being helped.
But now she can't see anything on the TV or on the computer screen because of the reflection of the window. That is why I always try to turn my desk around the window and not sit with my back to it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can u do a L-shaped table?
The cat tree should be by the window for happy cats
Poor Mom. 😭
you did a good job for what is available, but I feel badly for the Mother.
A tall Ikea wardrobe in back left corner for clothes would help, even if u have to move the lamp.
