I live in a house that is the shape of a dome (half-circle). I sleep and study in a room that has six walls. How do I divide the room into a sleeping room and a studying room?
Thanks
Angela

Dear Angela,
In my opinion, a half-circle building or dome shaped building falls under a `metal building'.
In Feng Shui, one often find some older buildings with a `moon gate' i.e. a semi-circular gate (literally the same shape as your dome building).
Such a metal element building is relatively neutral or particularly good if it is surrounded by narrow objects or even other buildings that are narrow. This is where, this dome shaped building (Metal element) is useful to destroy wood (narrow objects).
This type of building is particularly good or beneficial if it is surrounded at any side by tall trees. Again, metal (dome) helps to destroy wood.
In some countries, dome shaped building is or was popular ith the army (symbolic of metal element). Such an arch shape is also favoured by some arhictects as it frees the inner hall of columns or beams due to the support provided by the arch (dome shape).
As for the placement of the bed and study, it would depend very much with the orientation of your building and the lighting that goes into the building or room. Where possible, the study should be close to open lighting or natural light. And the location depends on country (hemisphere) and direction. For example, it would not be advisable to place the study table facing the west (especially the heat or distraction coming from the afternoon sun).
As you have not mentioned the size of the room, for such a room, it would depend on your studying habits e.g. do you prefer to sit and study at the study table or prefer to lie on the bed. Your study habits such as do you use the room more for rest or study or both. If you merely use the room more for rest such as you study more frequently at the library or open area.
Overall, try to make your room as comfortable and to your personal liking is much better than trying to `fit in' thru any advise.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Sorry the photo is blur. But can you see the outline of the "moon" gate at the entrance of the home?
This "moon" gate arch is supported by the two gate pillars of the home.
