Feng Shui can help us balance the energy in every room of our homes. It is possible to include this philosophy and energy in the office environment. It doesn’t matter whether you’re working from home or going to the office; We tell you how to place your table according to Feng Shui.
Let your table face the door
“When we can’t see what’s entering our space, it creates a sense of exposure and distraction,” says interior designer Gabrielle Santiago. With this logic, it’s important to make sure your desk faces a door. That way, you can easily notice anything going in and out. If that doesn’t make sense for the layout of your office space, at least avoid turning your back on the door. You can also place a small mirror on your desk so you can see the door from where you’re sitting at your desk.
We feel more balanced, productive, and secure when we can easily see who enters and leaves the room. Think of it like an elevator full of people; When we see the elevator is full, we tend to stand next to the buttons because it’s a checkpoint or we have our backs to the wall because it’s the safest way to see everything.
Subconsciously, we want to feel in control, and when we don’t, it’s hard to fully engage with the task ahead. Your subconscious mind is more relaxed when your desk is facing the door.
Combine items
The main components of feng shui are balancing the five elements which are fire, earth, metal, water and wood. Include plants, candles, seashells, crystals, your favorite pitcher or even certain colors on your table.
Clean your desk
Nothing disrupts focus like a cluttered workspace. Make sure your desk is visually inviting, clutter-free, and energetically refreshed. Putting a nice scent on your desk, having a comfortable chair, a shelf that holds files together, and a cute pen holder will help tidy and focus. On the other hand, do not forget to regularly dust your desk and remove it from accumulated bad energies.
You can also include things like plants or your favorite crystals to amplify the energy of the space. Monstera plants, bamboo, African violets, and money trees are just a few of the plants in feng shui associated with financial abundance and professional growth.
Treat your desk like a vision board
And finally, remember that your desk can inspire you. You can think of it like a functional, interactive vision board where you bring your professional goals to life. Reduce your stack of books to those that will really motivate you, and place your favorite artworks in places that grab your attention for a visual refresh.
