How to layout your Living room furniture using Fengshui

- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2021
- Here is a clear visual explanation of how you can lay out the furniture in your living room to optimise the space and its use. There is nothing superstitious about it, and is entirely sensible, in fact, most good interior designers would subconsciously employ the same same theories because they make so much sense!
Please comment on what else you'd like to see, most of my videos are on Tiktok, but here is where I do not need to rush! :) 
Хобби
The Wii music though
It encapsulates the vibe I'm in watching his vids tbh
It's perfect
Not just any Wii music, the Mii channel!
Super Mario
It fits the vibe so well but I had to rewatch the whole video because I was jamming out it 😂
I'm an architect and have been watching this from my office sipping my coffee before work. So enjoyable, thank you!!
So glad you have longer videos on RUclips!!! Love your tiktok videos, but I’m glad you’re able to go into more detail here!
These videos are SO calming. Thank you
The play on nostalgia hits just right 😂❤️
Thank you so much Cliff! I’ve been binging your videos and thanks to your lessons I was able to fix my room so now I have my bed space, my office space, and my mini fridge/cook space all in a tiny collage sized room!!
book him, worth it. trust me;)
You just saved my life sir!!!! Omg I didn't realize how terrible my living room was till I took a top down view
Ha ha. So true! This must be what God sees so clearly, while we muck around with no command position, blocking our own traffic flow of life. Ha ha
This layout is almost exactly like my current living room, I’m glad we got the couch in the right spot! :)
Watching your great videos has brought me to a terrifying conclusion…my partner and I have just had our offer accepted on a fenshui NIGHTMARE of a house! Every room is impossible 😂😭
Lol. I think most Western houses, units and apartments are Feng Shui nightmares. I hope you'll get Cliff's book and keep up watching his videos. Feng Shui is more about energy so you can overcome a lot. Also, if you own the house, you can gradually make improvements. Good luck.
I think you did a great job drawing a living room that is very representative of many living rooms. Mine is similar in shape but the window is on the same wall as the door and the stairs come in from where the top wall is
The little 3D printed furniture pieces are amazing! Can you make one with a fire place?
He has to calibrate the 3D printer though. It seems he has a terrible case of under-extrusion which results in the gaps in the top layers.
It's probably a combination of high print speed, low temperature and low resolution nozzle. Fix it!
“NOW I KNOW”!
Can’t have it ending without.
(Yes, I know it’s 2 yrs old.)
Thank you so much for your videos. They are very informative and entertaining too! And explaining each step along the way make so much sense.
Informative video. I changed my sofa to the corner and it made such a difference.
This was so useful! It helps me figure out some things in my own space. Thank you!
Soo cool thank you for sharing, short n sweet, easy to understand with pieces on paper ... music was all good. Enjoyed your video thank you. 🎉🎉🎉
I am so grateful for this channel.
A plant in the "dead corner" would bring some life to the space!! I love plants ❤
I love your vids!! The tiny furniture really makes my head and heart happy. I have a very weird disjointed apartment layout I hope one similar crosses your path.
My front door is diagonal, enters into a mostly closed off kitchen, a wall separates the kitchen and the living room. The dining room is off to the right it’s a puzzle 🧩
Weird apartment. 1011 square but not well laid out like the newer modern ones
I like how this man talk
Love these videos. Going to try rearranging my living room to see if I can have it make more sense. Not a lot of space though, but I think if I use my book case as a room divider and move the couch to the other side, away from the door, that might change things for the better
I was just stressing out about this!!! Thank you thank you so so so much ; _ ; 💚
always welcome!:)
Thank you for your videos. They are so eye opening. I never comment on youtube, but I have seen most of your videos in the last days! :) Completely inspired I now try to Feng Shui all the rooms in our home.
The living room is still our biggest issue. Feel like doing a video about a large living room? :-)
We have a living room of 10x5 metres, windows on the short side, a door on the other short side, a door in the corner on the long side. How to set up te room? It is a large space and we have no idea how to plan it well. We are always sitting in a place in the middle of a pathway. We want a childrens play space, a bookshelf and a television corner.
So much fun watching! Thank you!
"If you need two coffee tables have two coffee tables"
Thank you so much for this! I am currently trying to rearange my bedroom and fit 3 areas into it. 1 study, 1 bed area and 1 area for socializing. :D this is definetly a challenge but your videos help me a lot on it ^^ (and area for a snake terrarium)
How would you go about adding a glass terarium that quite big (aboiut 1m by 0.5 m)
The snake is killing here
I really wish I had a 3d printer or Amazon sold these furniture feng shui pieces cuz it's helpful. Ig doll furniture would work too.
If you sell these custom that'd be awesome! Not everyone has the same furniture pieces.
Construction paper cut out in your furniture shapes.
You can use knead or something similar.
You can use art software with layers
Yes.. would buy these from you for sure
It’s just paper/white board glue or tape.
Using these for my Sims4 Builds ♥
i really like ur content tho. 😆 surprisingly it is very fun for me to watch. i subs u keep it up man
Hi Cliff (?)
Thanks for all your videos, i appreciate it ! I was wondering how would you manage a dining and living room almost like your exemple, but with 2 more doors? One double on the north wall, one aside right of the large window to go on the terrace, and one double on the south wall (just facing the north one) ?
It s hard to put the dining room and the sofa without being in the circulate area and the optimise the space...
I like that you use models to show us what you meant in your arrangement suggestions.
Can you also do a video on how best to put recliner chairs in small living room with tv and windows?
Amazing video keep it up 👍
That's so cool, thank you!
I've been playing catch up watching your videos. My bedroom is awful. The head of the bed has to be next to the door to the hall. Now that I have a loft bed I'm sleeping so much better!
My sofa is adjacent to the door with our largest window directly behind it haha ugh
On one wall, we have door and window. The wall to one side is where the woodstove's alcove is, so we can't have the sofa over there. The alcove is an inset space with an arch, to highlight the woodstove, but this means we can't place a television above the fireplace. On the only solid wall, the wall is in line with the door like the wall shown here, and it's shorter than our sofa. Opposite the main window and front door, the room is open on 2/3rds to our dining area. The other 3rd is a closet with mirrors. the mirrored closet aligns with the front door.
Personally I'm considering swapping the dining area with the living area so we can have fireside dinners and place our sofa along one of the two solid walls in our current dining space. Oh, and covering the mirrors on the closet. Highly dislike seeing a silhouette in the doorway when I walk in if it's night time haha
Can you do a video on living room when there is a front door and a sliding door to backyard please?
Subscribed! Where is the best place to put a sofa if the one wall has a staircase behind it, the other wall has a fireplace, and the 3rd wall has windows and in line with the main door?
Can you do one like this on a studio style apartment
Feng Shui is basically the art of making sense out of space
Hi Cliff, just bought your book. How do you remedy poison arrows from shelves in the bedroom? Thanks in advance.
I love you man thanks
My couch in the living room is behind a window & there’s no other place to move it. My apt has L shape or corner windows. Can i put a sofa table behind to make it solid?
Hi! May i ask what if there are stairs?
The background sound 😭 super Mario game it took me back to the 90’s
It's the wii music right?
the sim build mode background music!
I purchased your book and trying to layout my livingroom dining room area. There are 2 main windows perpendicular to one another. Difficult to find the command position. Can drapery help if one of the couches are in front of a window?
The Wii music just brought back hella old memories. Good times.
That Wii music... 😂 😂 😂 Nice, touch.
What if we have a 2 seater + a 3 seater but our windows are on the left when you enter and the door faces a huge wall, what would you recommend?
What am I to do if I have a floor vent along my commander wall? So the only spot to use as my commander wall is the wall with a big window
I have a combined living /dining room. My couch has to not have a back wall to be in the command position. I hope that’s ok? The other thing is I have a fireplace on the side wall. I don’t really use it but I don’t know if that would be treated differently than a regular wall.
what can you do with dead spaces? i have a sofa and a love seat. at christmas time, the space is where i put a big christmas tree but any other time it creates a dead space beside the entertainment center (which because of the christmas tree is not centered). can you put plants or bookcase in it?
Thank you for the helt sir 🎉🎉
In addition to the dining table, where would you put a desk for home office work into this space? This is my struggle.
Yes, and where to put the tv if we have a dining table?
My issue is that if I put my sofa in the command position the view out my window is crowded by neighboring buildings vs if it is in line with the door the view is of tree tops and skyscrapers in the distance. So which is better; fishbowl view command position or high energy alignment with front door and beautiful city views?
He spoke about that in another video
Can you place a piece of furniture (small side table, low book shelf) between the sofa and the door? Bonus: Put plant/lamp on it to further break the energy.
I agree with not having the window behind the sofa, as it would feel like you were blocking the natural light, and then you couldn't really look out of the window, if it's behind you when you're sat down.
We have 2 large televisions and I'm trying to figure out how to fit it properly in the room. In our old home it was simple. This house has a 3 window bump out...
What do you suggest if the couch has to be put in front of the window
I want some of that teeny tiny furniture.
I would love to see how he deals with the cookie-cutter 2000's Ireland and UK houses. Very limited in space and somewhwre like the living room will have a fireplace sticking out
What do you do if your couch is aligned with the front door. It's the only place i can put the couch. It looks similar to this drawing, only the longest wall has fireplace and two large windows on either side taking up the whole wall.
I've divided mine in 2 spaces using the sofa and a baby cot (that is actually for my dogs), the other half is a home gym but I can't figure out a way of arranging the equipment :(
what if the window isn’t floor to ceiling, ie the couch will be against a wall that has a window above it?
I'm wondering when or even if you would put an L-shaped couch in a living room
What are your thoughts on sectionals? I love them but are they fengshui compatible?
if they are L-shaped they are said to create poison arrows. The curved ones are good.
I'd love it if you added closed captions to your videos. It's hard to hear without it (I'm hard of hearing)
im addicted, everywhere i go i think "dearmodern wouldnt approve of this layout" or "dearmodern would approve of this layout" which is ironic because my bedroom isnt following feng shui at all
Thank you
Wii shop music goes with everything
That wii music was not following video-fengshui hehe. I wanted to mute this video so bad. Your voice and content are entertaining enough! Thanks so much for making these!
At 1:55 The left chair doesn't have a 'safe' wall in their back and they can't see if anybody enters the room. Why would you do recommend this position?
I feel like our living room is impossible. We have a fireplace in the SW corner. The south wall has a big window and french doors to the backyard. NW corner is a door to the bedroom. The north wall is the kitchen with a cutout, then a dining room. The NE corner is the front door, with a weird support beam a few feet away from each wall. 😭 It all feels impossible to properly decorate
But how can we know for sure if he doesn’t say “now you know!” at the end??
WII SHOP THEME!!
i want those sofas n bed 😅
merci beaucoup
My living room is impossible to meet these requirements. Huge window. Huge 70s Lava rock fireplace and a large opening for the entrance (no door). It's also the TV room so there's only one way to arrange it for TV viewing. I should try to make a scale model to play with, but I don't see any other way that's realistic to our lifestyle. I mostly watch for entertainment value. My entrance and my bedroom are also Feng Shui nightmares. Thanks 70s house!
So, now you know!
But what is the Window is along side the entrance and you have a smaller living room
How to layout an office please 😊
Idk if you will see this but i have a question.
How important in your opinion is a seperate dining space?
And why?
Now i know! 😉
What about a fireplace along the wall?
Do you accept requests? We’ve recently moved into a home that’s half the size of our previous home and trying to fit every thing in. It’s also open planned, whereas all our previous living has been in defined rooms.
"coming straight into you"
Great
It's most commanding to put the sofa against the door
Is it not a problem to sit in a chair with your back to the door? Like you explained with the couch? Just wondering, no negative comment. I want to learn.
Wow, I really F’d the chi up in my living room 🤣…
I live in a 320sq ft tiny house. Our living room and kitchen are all one room and open concept. The only wall we have to put the sofa on contains our one and only living room window. The only other option for the sofa is to float it out in the middle of the floor, with the back fact it the kitchen cabinets. What should we do?
So basically no set up works?
3:14 It's where you put your stuff and things? :p
3:40 Oh, so the chair that represents my life
My lounges ARE the dining room chairs. The coffee table IS the dining room table 😅
❤
This reminds me of sudoku
"You have a pocket of dead space and it's not very useful." -- I immediately looked over to the awkward confusing ??? dead space in my living room. 😬
My living
I was just distracted by what I think is the Wii home screen/Mii page background music.
My couch IS not far from thé door . Is that really feng shui crime?
Why not put the settee against the wall the door is on! You could put the dining in front of the windows
I wish i had so much space in my living room 😰
Little curious why a TV shouldn't be a focal point tbh. If it's the main function of your living room, as you don't socialize, shouldn't be catered to? Similar to how I want main walkways/thoroughfares unobstructed do I not want the equipment I'm using most frequently to be most accessible? You're removing functionality in a sense by not having a frequently used television be a focal point. Feel like that's an individuals pre-conceived notions and bias's on technology coming into play. I still take away a lot from these videos, but I'll work in what works for me too.
Agreed, my couch is still in a command position where I can look out my picture window or watch tv, but both the window and the tv can be the focus of the room. It's not really set up for socializing as I don't generally enjoy having very many people in my space. It still works well for me and feels comfortable.
Cliff: so now you know😌
