Therefore, it important for the office desk to be chosen and located correctly, so that it influences the owner’s work efficiency and wealth in the most positive way.
Feng Shui Tips on Locating an Office Desk
- Ideally, a Feng Shui office desk should not directly face the entrance door, but be located diagonally across from the door.
- The main piece of the office furniture should be located in such a way, that the owner can see the room’s entrance door when sitting at the desk. If it is impossible, hang on the wall a mirror to reflect the entrance door.
- In general, Feng Shui does not recommend facing a wall when sitting at the office desk. Such a position minimizes the flow of positive Feng Shui energy that should circulate around the owner of the desk. If, due to the lack of free space, there is no other choices, except for facing a wall, decorate it with a pleasant picture, such as a landscape. The picture will expand the space, and scatter the negative emotions created by a closed space.
