Feng Shui does makes sense! The basis of how to plan your home for comfort and practicality

You can't have the back of a desk facing the room when you have a desktop computer. There is too many cables and will look like crap.

So chi is literally like if there was a shallow trough of paint at the entrance to every front door, and people stepped in it every time they crossed it. And the footprints that build up over time, is what chi is.

A visual echo of where people like/tend to walk a lot.

So to put something in the way of a footprint line, is like putting a traffic cone on a track field.
Wait, that's not even a simile. That was so intelligent it was just straight up a physical description. Ok. So I guess all we have to do is move shit like a couple feet left or right of the footprint lines.

I haven't studied feng shei before, I'm just a really fast learner. There's a lot more to learn still, as well.
Great video!

Oh my god, now I know why I never use my desk 😂 my back is literally against the highway

Next house I make on Rimworld

Question: Feng Shui is all about the proper circulation of air and light inside the house? 🤔

Very clear and helpful! Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Wow!

thanks to this video (that i was watching while procrastinating some school work) i spent about 4 hours today completely rearranging my whole room, including disassembling and reassembling my bed. i still havent completed any of the school work, but now i have a dope study crib

And… Now we know!

I do think of myself as a spiritual person, so it wouldn't surprise me if feng shui has some sort of supernatural element to it. But to me, a lot of it just sounds like taking psychology into account with design. Honestly, it's genius! Thank you for making this method of decoration easy to understand. Your videos are a big help!

The bit about the desk was special. I could see the other stuff pretty intuitively, but I thought that open plan was always better than partitioning a room, and turning the desk around rather than having it up against the wall seemed at first to make the gangway into the bedroom feel very claustrophobic. But... I get why he did that - as he said, you don't want your study in your bedroom, so sacrificing the open plan space created two small spaces with specific functions, rather than a single large room with a confused function. That's really neat.

So fent shui is just topological interior design with idiotic terminology like "energy" and "resonance" that has nothing to do with either concepts in reality

Super insightful!

life is strange, mystical and superstitious, LOL So why can't Feng Shui be the same??

i new it was real when i moved my bed near my door. i don't know why but i hated and felt really exposed and didn't feel more comfortable until i moved it in to the far left corner away from the door

Lovely

Can I send you a drawing of a couple of rooms I have and you tell me what is the best bed placement?

so feng shui is just, logic and my room is feng shui even tho it's ugly then ? lol

I would love a video that transfers these general principles to small living places

Love this! Thank you!

Exactly! its just common sense! you can call it energy you can call it logic it stays the same! (:

My small 1 bed 1 bath 1 small office with pocket doors 660 square foot apartment is in desperate need of feng shui design.

Even though I live alone and the chaotic energy should be minimal, it’s not. I have too much furniture, too many items, and my paths are obstructed.

It really does a number on my mental health.

Your passion always makes me smile when I catch your shorts and videos!

What about furniture with a combination functionality? Like I always work at my dining table because it's a table and I live alone so I don't usually eat at home. Wouldn't that change the "flow"? How do I account for that?

You could make wiggly curving arrows on separate papers, same as you do for area rugs

The toilet is straight off the kitchen??? In the UK that’s not allowed, there has to be 2 doors separating it so you’d need a small inner lobby there.

When you talk about the movement around the house, to me it looks like the natural paths people want to walk in, the most practical or direct routes, and so putting a bed in that path doesn't make any sense. I plan my garden around the paths that naturally form in the space, between wildlife paths, both birds and land animals, and people paths.

I've always seen Feng Shui as the flow of energy. Love your content!

Yup. I draw the line when someone start saying wrong mirror placement cause miscarriage.

Now I understand why I love play City Skyline and Sim 4. It's about solving puzzle.

Bought the book. Hope it helps!!!!!

So helpful!!!! Thank you

I know it'll violate feng shui but in this case, i'd still place the study table against the wall of the bedroom. 😂

You want to put the desk like that!? No way. I'd rather just have the desk face the wall and put it against the wall not in front of the door blocking the path.

As an interior design student, this is a really helpful knowledgr to improve my layouts even more. Thank you for making this video

You would think that you would WANT energy. Lol

before watching the video : I noticed how you use terms like "energy" or "chi" or whatever, and as a scientist it kinds of rubs me the wrong way because energy is a very real thing that is counted in joules, watts or calories, and chi is... well not a thing as far as i'm concerned. that said i think it's not senseless in you explanations because it describes in a concise way things that are very real but hard to put words on. typically too much exposure, bad orientation visual barriers and whatnot, i think your videos would be marginally better if you could use less "esoteric" terms, but you're not the one who made them, and as far as i'm concerned it's not much of a detriment, i love your videos, you seem like a really fun guy ! 😊

I'm stuck living in the living room right next to the apartment entrance so I watch these to live vicariously

Thank you

feng shui is less of a superstition thing and more of a guide to make your quality of life better

"Don't put stuff where you walk everyday"

"that poor guy" 🤣

so feng shui is like sim city. if there was a feng shui home decor game, I'd instantly fall in love with it.

feng shui could just be a group of logical/behavioral/psychological principles that have been cut short out of their reasons/explanations.

I think this is how Chinese or other advanced knowledge has grown so far and so fast; the students don't really question their teacher too much and efficiently spend their time to memorize the basics, so they have extra time to improve. they would have understood the reason while making practicing their teaching and occasionally make mistakes anyway

Bathroom off the kitchen? No!

love it

furniture placement for dummies 101!

That was a really good explanation of Feng Shui. It's the first time I've understood it so that it makes sense 🙏🏾♥️

thank you

Please draw my wife in the picture so I know where to put her. Thank you.
