Is it possible to set up a platform bed in a bedroom?
Case Study - Part 2: Common sense + the concept of “You stay there we don’t!” 1. I have encountered situations where I was summoned to a residence due to the recurring illnesses of the occupants. 2. On multiple occasions, I have observed a particular bedroom furnished with a platform bed. 3. During the initial investigation, the question arose: "Who utilizes this bedroom?" 3.1. The entire family sleeps in this bedroom featuring an elevated platform bed. However, due to the absence of a roof to shield the windows, we refrain from opening them to prevent water from damaging the platform. 3.2. Moreover, the family faces challenges in affording the operation of the air conditioning unit. Even with the fan running, the bedroom remains uncomfortably stuffy. 3.3. In this scenario, the platform bed emerges as a primary factor contributing to the health issues. 4. Hygiene: The condition of the platform and the resulting wear and tear. 4.1. Some experts argue that a bed supported by four legs is essential to allow Qi to circulate beneath it. 4.2. However, this concept can be more logically and sensibly explained. 4.3. A bed with four legs facilitates cleaning the floor space beneath it, as the wood of the platform bed may contract, creating gaps where debris can accumulate. In this case, cleaning underneath the bed becomes practically impossible. 4.4. Even with storage compartments beneath the bed, there are inaccessible areas. Avoid storing items like family photos or toys under the bed, and periodically inspect these items. It is advisable to wrap them to prevent dust mites. 5. A few years back, a young child accidentally spilled orange juice, causing it to seep towards the floor. Consequently, ants were attracted to the platform. 6. The platform bed may develop creaks and signs of wear and tear over time. 7. To be honest, I can identify more drawbacks than advantages of a platform bed. Consider the needs of the elderly as well. Do you understand the point I am trying to convey? +++ Summary Platform beds in poorly ventilated bedrooms can lead to recurring health issues, challenging cleaning, and hygiene problems, making them generally less practical than traditional four-legged beds, especially for families and the elderly. Key Takeaways - Platform beds complicate cleaning and trap debris, increasing hygiene concerns. - Poor ventilation and inability to open windows worsen air quality and health. - Elevated platforms can attract pests when spills occur due to inaccessible areas. - Regular maintenance and inspection are difficult, especially under the bed. - Platform beds tend to show more wear and tear over time. - Four-legged beds are preferable for cleaning, air circulation, and practicality. - Consider the needs of all occupants, especially the elderly, when choosing bedroom furniture.

Is it possible to set up a platform bed in a bedroom?
Case Study - Part. 1: Is it advisable to have a platform bed in a bedroom? 1. Some believe that standing on a raised platform or "stepping up" is considered auspicious when starting the day. This belief is rooted in the concept of: 1.1 The phrase "to ascend with each step or step-by-step ascension" is the literal translation. 2. Conversely, it is accurate that we ascend to the platform bed when going to sleep. However, upon waking up, instead of ascending each morning, one must descend the platform. 3. Therefore, this argument is flawed! It is advisable to opt for a regular bed, as every time we wake up, we will indeed have to physically step down from the platform. 4. The primary rationale for choosing a platform bed is the limited size of a new condo or Ec. 4.1 Some designers have suggested a platform bed for its practicality. That is the extent of it. +++ Summary While platform beds are sometimes seen as auspicious for their symbolic "step-up," their practical benefit is mainly for space-saving, and the idea of "ascending" each morning is flawed since users descend from the bed upon waking. Key Takeaways - The belief that platform beds are auspicious due to "ascending" each day is based on a misunderstanding. - In reality, everyone steps down from the bed when waking. - The main advantage of platform beds is practical space-saving for small bedrooms. - Designers recommend platform beds for practicality, not symbolic reasons.

1. Seems like quite alot of South facing (S2) units in Jadescape may have their kitchen at NW. 2. Thus, this is a recent article on the subject of kitchen at NW. And whether automatically it affects every unit or why is it that some are not affected b a kitchen at NW sector:-

These are some considerations: 1. Flying Star Feng Shui 1.1. Assuming that this development obtain T.O.P before 2023 + if possible moved-in before 2024 CNY or earlier, the Flying Star Chart is a Period 8 N2 chart:- Note: Please ignore the Year 2018 monthly charts + the [View Sector] icons as these are tools I use for annual Feng Shui audits 1.2 In the above chart, the facing direction from 2022.. 2023.. 2024 onwards, will be influenced by the water star #9 at North. This is because Period 8 does not automatically switch over period luck exactly on 2024. But usually around two years earlier. 1.3. From 2022..2023..2024.. the double auspicious #8's as seen at South sector will become past prosperity wealth stars. Furthermore, usually for a P8 North 2 facing chart... anyway.. it is wasted at the "rear" of the unit as it is often wasted like the Type D1 layout at the shared Toilet area. 1.4. For Type D layout, the non-mirrored stacks are preferred over the mirrored units. Thus units #08, #033 etc.. have overall better Flying Star luck. 1.4.1 The rationale is that the other #9 falls in the Master Bedroom. This #9 = mountain star = networking and relationship luck. 1.4.2 And more advantages "locked' up in a room environment. Then at an open space such as in the living room area. As for the mirrored units, the NE sector is the living room area. Thus it would be wise not to place a water feature on the balcony. If so, for the mirrored units. this can drown the wealth luck. As this sector during 2024 to 2043 is the current prosperity wealth star. And should not be drowned by water in the balcony itself. 1.4.3 As the frontage is North with the #8 water star, it is good if the unit actually faces water. 1.4.4 The non-mirrored D1 chart is preferred. As there are two nasty sickness stars #2 sickness with misfortune/sickness.. can fall in the master bedroom at NW sector. Between the devil (these two stars at the master bedroom ) vs the deep blue sea.. at the living room, it is preferred that these two stars have open air area, here. 2. Furthermore, depending on the layout plan of South facing stacks, (at the time of writing -I only have a limited layouts.) South facing stacks MAY be afflicted by the kitchen at NW = Fire at Heaven's Gate. Okay if the kitchen is at NE. 2.1. Thus in general, often South facing stacks may either have their kitchen at NW or NE. Therefore (again depending on actual layouts) in theory, this development may have 50% of South facing stacks affected by the inauspicious Kitchen at NW! 3. Period 9 N2 facing chart: Note: Please ignore the Year 2018 monthly charts + the [View Sector] icons. 3.1 Assuming that there was an unexpected delay in TOP for Jadescape development. And the development T.O.P from Chinese New Year 2024 onwards... then the above Flying Star chart applies. 3.2 Else, if the development T.O.P before 2023, we should be looking at the Period 8 N2 chart, instead of this chart. 3.3. Although this chart has the double auspicious #9's for Period 9. However, which ever chart, either the master bedroom or living room would get a #2 (sickness) at NE or #5 (misfortune/sickness) at NW. Here, again, the non-mirrored D2 chart is preferred. As #5 is better at the living room than it being in the master bedroom. #2 is easier to disarm. But need to disarm the #5. Can be done = no issue. 4. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: 4.1. External Shapes and Forms is good for this development. But do be careful of where the Electrical Sub-station, Rubbish collection bins, the diesel powered generators etc.. 4.2. For 1st floor units.. cannot tell now... but if there is or are tree trunks slicing the living room balcony.. then seriously hard to cure. 4.3. Avoid the central rubbish bin beside the main door or facing the main door of the unit. 4.4. The stove sharing the same wall with the shower: there seems to be a utility void...= an additional buffer if so, a plus as the shower head would be further away on the additional wall. 5. For a home to have problems: usually there are three or more major problems. Thus since the centrepoint is not exactly a basin etc.. then there is buffer for major issues, here. 6. The three major considerations: Frontage / Bedrooms / Kitchen. 6.1. Frontage = have already gone through this. No issue for a P8 N2 chart. 6.2. Kitchen = North facing charts seldom have kitchens at NW. In this development is safe or okay. Ideally, for an east group the stove should be seated West facing East. Thus a mirrored D2 chart, here is a plus. 6.3 Next is Nice that one's partner is a west group person. And other bedrooms is a nice fit to other family members. 7. Jadescape expected T.O.P. is as follows:- Note: Assuming no unexpected delays. As the developer can still count on Expected Legal Completion date.

Case Study: Stove sharing the same wall as toilet - shower wall = 4- Bedroom Type D1 & D1 (P) Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, less than ideal with the stove sharing the same wall as the shower wall (bathroom)- Case Study: The table leg is a X shape, is that ok?
Case Study: Can the table topple down? 1. Common sense says that a table with low centre-of-gravity can topple especially if someone leans on the side of the table or a toddler or person stands towards it's side. 2. It is because of this, that many say it is a "Feng Shui" thing. 3. Thus any table e.g. with poor centre-of-gravity even tables with "X" legs has to be looked at from this angle.- Case Study: The table leg is a X shape, is that ok?
Case Study: The table leg is a X shape, is that ok? 1. Feng Shui does not micro manage this. 2. It has more to do with common sense = centre-of-gravity and safety. Such that if a toddler were to stand on the corner of the table, will it topple or not. 3. However, another area is about SYMBOLISM (technically this is a standalone concern but some link this with Feng Shui). As we all know an "X" is not exactly a popular symbol to many people. What more to some, a dining table is considered an important piece of furniture in the home!. 3.1 If you have busy bodies who tell you that it is bad luck to have this type of table. 3.2 The owner may start to panic! 3.3 Here, if one is easily worried and easily swayed... then DO NOT BUY. 4. Don't later press the PANIC button and come running back to me and demand an answer: "Why 6 out of 10 friends, family members say inauspicious? You say can/okay? I demand an answer! 5. If the above is the response, I merely, sent "YOU" this link! LOL LOL LOL- Thanks for the detail illustration which help to put forward the big picture embracing all theories.

Congratulations! Just T.O.P. going down soon- I have view a condo near Buangkok but the only concern it's side view from the balcony is a rubbish dump
- Besides Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, Compass School (Eight House and Flying Stars), Water Classics & Ba Zi Feng Shui another major Feng Shui consideration is or Yang Zhai San Yao
It is good that Feng Shui Master has identified that my Master bedroom falls under one of the three considerations: - HDB Punggol Point Cove (PHASE I) BTO launched in August 2018 + do you know that the architect for this development loves FISHES? No Kidding!
