How to Feng Shui Your Desk

“Many of us are realizing that working from home has become a more permanent solution than we previously thought. Going to the office is a great way to establish an area where your mind can fully concentrate on work. This can become more difficult if we work from home more often, and that's where feng shui comes into play.
While feng shui may not be something you usually follow, understanding its main principles can have huge benefits for your work life. According to feng shui, the objects in your home represent areas of your life. Therefore, your work desk is intrinsically linked to your career, which directly impacts the rest of your life. In a more literal sense, your surroundings have a huge influence on your life, so pay close attention to your surroundings and check out some of our tips on how to feng shui your desk.

Starting with the Right Table
The first simple fact is that you need a table. Whatever the purpose of your office, whether for study, personal use, or full-time work, the office needs to have a desk. A stable and sturdy desk can represent an object that is stable and constant, not to mention providing a productive place that will always be there. If you start to view your desk as an area that represents your career, you may start to realize that it needs upgrading.
Your work desk should have enough space for you and all your important items. According to feng shui, a frosted desk is the best choice to metaphorically support the work, projects and responsibilities tied to your office.

Feng Shui Office Layout
You may already be doing this without thinking too much about it, but your work desk should be in what is known as the 'command position'. A command position ensures that you have as much power as possible over your career. Feng shui defines this position as a place where you can see the door of the room but is not directly aligned with the door. In a metaphorical sense, from a commanding position, you can see everything that may happen in your life so that you can be better prepared to face it. Many people say that if this is not possible, you can use a mirror to see your door from the table, which is also considered a commanding position.

Supportive Office Desk Chair
Just like your work desk, your office chair is also connected to the representation of your career. The chair you use should be supportive and ideally have a high back. The more comfortable you feel, the more confident you will be in your daily work tasks. Additionally, you may also want to choose a chair that combines elements (water, air, fire, etc.) that represent the type of energy you want to bring to the workplace.

Table Object
In addition to arranging yourself in the right way, it is also important to have the right inspirational objects around you on a feng shui table. You can do your own research into which objects can increase the right energy in your life, however, some of these will be obvious to even the most skeptical person. Here are some examples of feng shui inspired objects to introduce into your workspace.

Houseplants: Energetically, plants can inspire growth in your work life.

Desk blotter: Desk blotters in certain colors associated with different elements, can help bring a different energy to your office.

Inspiration: Anything that inspires you should be in your office. These can be photos, quotes, or symbols of the things you want in life.

No mess
While surrounding yourself with the right items is important, it's also important not to overcrowd your space. Everything in your feng shui office should have a function, both practical and spiritual. Clutter can hinder the 'flow' in your office, according to feng shui, so you should check your desk and surrounding surfaces regularly.
