Four Feng Shui Taboos for Office Furniture You Must Know

2025-11-04

1. The door is the necessary passage for entering and exiting the office, and it's also the air vent. If there's no support behind you when you sit, the constant flow of people and their surroundings can create a subconscious sense of tension, making you feel like someone is watching you, leading to chaotic thoughts and poor decision-making. Ideally, you should adjust the placement of your desk so you don't have to face the door. If that's not possible, choose a chair with a high back to provide support and block the negative energy flow.

2. The area in front of your desk should be open and unobstructed, symbolizing a bright future. Avoid having a pillar directly opposite your seat, as this is considered unlucky and can negatively impact thinking and decision-making. Also, avoid having a beam directly above your head, as this can cause restlessness. Facing a wall is also undesirable, as it can block your path and hinder your progress. Seating near a door is inefficient; the higher your position, the further away you should be from the door. Your desk should not be directly in front of or to the sides of a walkway, as this is considered inauspicious and can have negative effects.

Third, the office should not be too dark. A bright and well-lit office is ideal, as this fosters good performance and allows talented individuals to rise to the top. Clear rewards and punishments encourage employees to utilize their strengths and be responsible and dedicated. Conversely, a dark and gloomy office often brings obstacles and setbacks, as well as the rise of petty people and low employee morale.

Fourth, the office should be spacious and open. The open space directly in front of the office belongs to the Li position, and therefore, the open space directly in front of the office can be said to directly indicate the future fortune of the unit. So if the open space of the office is narrow and closed, it will inevitably symbolize that the unit's future is limited, there are many obstacles, and development is difficult. Conversely, if both the inner and outer open spaces of the office are open and serene, it means that the company or unit has a bright future and will be successful.
