The basic principles for the office feng shui desk layout and placement

The most important furniture in an office is the desk and chair. There are some basic feng shui rules you can follow to maximize the energy.

Stay away from the traffic flow. When you sit down in front of the desk, you don't want people walking behind you. You also don't want to sit in front of the door so everyone passing by can see what you are doing. The better feng shui is to set up the desk a little toward the backside of the room, and you have the view of the door so you are aware of anyone walking in. This is also called the power position or commanding position. You feel more in control this way.
Set up the desk so there is a solid wall or tall bookshelf/cabinet behind you when you sit down. It symbolizes support and makes you feel more secure in your position.
Set up the desk so there is a window or some open space in front of you when you sit down. The window or open-space symbolizes your bright future and potentials. If you have to face a wall, you can display some beautiful landscape photos or paintings.
In feng shui, the left side is the dragon side and belongs to the Yang energy. The right side is the Yin side and belongs to the Yin energy. The dragon prefers activities and noise, and the tiger prefers to stay low and quiet. It can be applied to the desk of your office. When you sit down in front of the desk, place electronics, lighting, computer, cell phone, and printer on your left side, and place files, books, and stationary on your right side to keep the energy balanced.

The popular Feng Shui cures, enhancers, and decor to place in your office

Here are some popular feng shui lucky items you can display on your desk or office to increase your career and finance luck.

A fish tank. The water is a symbol of wealth in feng shui. A well-maintained fish tank brings a lively energy to the room. Even a small tank will change the energy of the room. If it is too much work, just water plants will have a similar effect.

2. A tabletop fountain. The same idea as a fish tank, the movement of water can activate the energy. The flowing water is also very calming and relaxing.

3. Houseplants. The plants with thicker or bigger leaves are preferred in Feng Shui. They are symbols of growth and abundance. Avoid sharp or needle-leaf plants such as a cactus. Those are more for reflecting back negative energy (Sha Qi).

4. The lighting, salt lamp, or candlelight (Fire energy). These items belong to the Fire element. We all need some fire element in our workspace to keep us energized and empowered. Even just decorate with the red or orange color will lift our spirit.

5. Crystals and jades. Crystals and jades are always associated with feng shui. Different color crystals can enhance different functions. Clear and purple crystals can purify the space and increase wisdom, yellow and orange are related to wealth luck, pink is related to relationship luck, black is for absorbing negative energy. Jade is a traditional semi-precious stone to bring protection and overall good luck.

6. Nice stationery, Chinese brush set, or a Wen Chang pagoda. The Chinese ink brush and the Wen Chang pagoda are the classic Feng Shui cures to enhance intelligence. It helps you pass exams and make better decisions. You can also display nice stationery sets that match your style. Those are tools to increase your productivity and career advancement.

7. Positive art and words. You can display inspirational art and quotes. Or any meaningful arts that motivate you. It can be an image of your mentor or quotes from someone you admire. These serve as a daily reminder of our goals and dreams so we can stay on the right track.

8. Feng Shui animals. These can include Pi Xiu, Fu Dog, Qi Lin, Dragon, Horse, Dragon turtle, and so on. Some are symbols of success and power, some can bring protection. It is like a personal charm so you feel empowered and protected all the time. When you feel confident, you perform better at work.
