IN last years Remote work from home is becoming increasingly popular, so the design and arrangement of a home office is a hot topic.

For some people a little is enough desk in the corner of the bedroom where they could check the mail and send a few letters, others need a separate comfortable office in which they can work daily and which will become the personal home office of the owner or mistress of the house. A mini-office with an interesting design can be organized not only in a private house, but also in an apartment, for which it is necessary to rationally use the free space.

With the help of Feng Shui, an ordinary, boring office can be transformed into a creative, positive and cozy work area. Feng Shui will give the owner of the office the necessary peace and tranquility, as well as the necessary inspiration and desire to work!

Team Stylingroom I have prepared 9 basic Feng Shui rules that must be followed to create an ideal and most comfortable work area.

1. Facing the door

The first rule of Feng Shui says: the desk should be opposite the door, and the person sitting behind it should be facing the front door. A person sitting with his back to the door feels uncomfortable and even unsafe, since he does not see and does not know who is entering him and when, he must be on alert all the time and constantly turns around, which greatly distracts him from work and makes it difficult to concentrate. At the same time, the idea of ​​Feng Shui is not to sit “nose to nose” with the door, but to ensure that the door is always in the field of view of the person sitting; this can be achieved by moving the table to the center of the office or simply turning the chair a little.

The photo below shows an office design from Beach Glass Interior Designs: a massive glossy wooden table, an easy chair, a small seating area by the window with a mountain of soft, cozy pillows. The office is made in brown and white colors, according to the basic principles of Feng Shui: when sitting at the table, the owner of the office will always see who has entered.

2. Balance of light, dark colors and shades

Another rule that is also used in bedroom design is that there should be harmony and the right balance of dark and light shades in the room.

You should not create an office in neutral colors - it will be boring and banal, you should not make it snow-white, if you are not a doctor - the office will look like a sterile operating room, use light and dark shades, dilute them with red, green, yellow, blue colors that will add atmosphere to the work area positive energy and brightness.

Another tip from Feng Shui: combine a variety of materials and textures in your office - natural wood and stone, glass, metal, which will allow you to create a symbolic balance of the main elements in the room, enliven and decorate your work area.

The cabinet in the next photo was created by the design company PPDS. The design of the office contains rich Blue colour, white, brown, natural wood, metal, glass. A massive work desk allows the owner of the office to control both doors and not be taken by surprise while working; the decor of the room was also well complemented by a huge glass vase with plants, and the hanging chandelier is a real decoration of the room. By sliding the large white doors, the owner of the office can easily isolate himself from the rest of the space in the house and will be able to concentrate on his work. The office is the room that must have doors or a screen.

3. Creation of an energy center

In the office it is necessary to create a clear center around which positive energy will gather. This center can be your desktop or any other object in the room, which will allow you to more clearly and clearly organize your free space and prevent the dissipation of positive energy.

The photo shows a work area in dark colors. The center of the energy of the room is the ebony desk, located in the center of the room, the original helps to focus positive energy hanging lamp, located above the table and a houseplant on the table. The decor of the room in dark colors is complemented by snow-white paintings on the walls and white lamps on the bedside table; the decoration of the room is a round mirror in a massive wooden frame and a figurine of a Chinese deity, designed to attract money and positive energy into the atmosphere of the office.

4. Reliable rear

Even if you are sitting facing the door, you still need to take care of the reliability and safety of your “rear”. It is best to have a wall at the back; a good option is a spacious window with a view of skyscrapers or mountains, which will provide reliable support and support for the owner of the room.

The office in the next photo was furnished by Matilda Rose Interiors. The room turned out to be very lively and original, thanks to the stylish wallpaper with images of trees, as well as wall-mounted ladder shelves on which you can place books, documents, CDs and other items. The interior of the office in the photo is dominated by natural wood, and the room itself is made in light beige and brown tones.

5. Natural light

One of the basic rules is that the office should have as many spacious windows as possible right up to the floor, without partitions or heavy curtains, so that the room is illuminated with natural light during the day and is also well ventilated.

Do not create an enclosed room without windows or with windows tightly closed with blinds or heavy curtains; natural light is much better than artificial lighting. The problem of glare on a computer or laptop monitor can be quickly solved by properly positioning the desktop or purchasing a computer with a matte screen.

The next office was furnished by Feng Shui & Living. The room turned out to be spacious, bright and comfortable, thanks to the large windows reaching the floor, filling the room sunlight, and large living plants in pots and vases.

6. More live plants and flowers

Modern classrooms and offices are literally overflowing with negative energy emitted by printers, computers, laptops and other modern equipment.

Get rid of this negative energy and living plants help balance yin and yang: a tropical palm tree in the corner of the office, succulent green grass in a small pot on the desktop, a ficus on the windowsill - this and other plants will enliven the office, make it much more comfortable and cozy.

7. Direction in space

In Feng Shui, even the smallest details are important and must be paid attention to. So, if you work on a laptop or computer, place it in the west or north of the room, which will help make working on the computer more productive and faster. Pay attention to your view from open door: When you are sitting at your desk, you should not see stairs, long corridors, a toilet, a storage room and other utility rooms, which will distract from work and fill the room with unwanted energy, it is best in this case to keep the door closed all the time. It is also necessary to decorate the corner of the room that you see as soon as you enter the room, do not leave it empty. An empty corner accumulates negative energy and drives away good and positive energy.

8. Mirrors and photographs

Mirrors in the office can play both a positive and negative role. It is not advisable to place mirrors in the office; you should not constantly see your reflection while working at the table, which can greatly distract from work. However, mirrors can also play into the hands of the office owner. So, if you have no opportunity to place a table facing the door, and you sit with your back to the entrance, then hang a mirror on the wall, in the reflection of which you will always see incoming person, so you will feel safe. As for the photographs, family photos on the table will always remind happy moments and experiences will help you relax during breaks from work and dream, and will cheer up the owner of the office.

In the photo below we see an office in which the entire wall is covered with happy photographs and favorite paintings of the owner of the house.

9. Perfect order

Scattered things, folders, papers, wires sticking out everywhere interfere not only with the flow of positive Qi energy, but also distract from work.

There should always be order in the office; it is best to hide wires and cords on the floor or under the carpet, so that energy will circulate freely around the room, and it will be easier and calmer for the owner of the office to work, since he will always know where the necessary papers and documents are.

It's no secret that with the advent of the Internet in our lives, the world around us has changed a lot. Nowadays, you can increasingly meet people who work on the Internet while at home. Many in-demand and decently paid Internet professions have appeared. Training centers, online schools that prepare qualified workers. And they, in turn, look for work on freelance exchanges. Thus, a lot of problems associated with wasting time in public transport, with daily snacks instead of a full lunch, with sick children (if there is no one to leave them with when you take the child to kindergarten), etc.

But we won’t dwell on this, but let’s talk about how to properly organize your workspace. What should it be feng shui office at home, so that it does not distract from work, but rather helps to get into a working mood. When working from home, it can be easy to be tempted to do other things, especially if you are constantly distracted by other family members. Therefore, it is recommended to “set up” correctly feng shui office.

The main task of Feng Shui in this matter is to replace home environment at work and create an active working mood in a person.

Study according to Feng Shui: location

feng shui office

First you need to decide on the choice of place in the house relative to the cardinal directions for work office.

Feng Shui this is indicated by the following: for correct location Sectors such as southeast, northwest, north, and also northeast are suitable. It’s great when, even at the stage of building a house, you already know that you will have your own office, and you can choose the right location for it in advance.

If you don’t have such an opportunity, then convert the room into an office correct form(square or rectangular) and with good natural lighting. Do not choose an irregularly shaped room with empty niches; the corners of the walls inside the room in this case act like. And this in turn leads to the formation of negative energy. If you have no other choice, and your office still has such flaws, then you can correct them with the help of mirrors, crystals or plants.

An unfavorable position in Feng Shui is sitting towards a window or door; you may lose all support in life and work. It is better to place the table so that you sit with your back to the wall, and let the windows and doors be on your sides.

You can also hang an image of a mountain on this wall (in Feng Shui this is a symbol). Read more about desktop layout HERE(the rules are the same for a home office).

As a last resort, if you still have your back to the door or window, it is recommended to have a massive office chair with a high back. In this case, it is the high back that will perform a protective function, albeit not like a wall, but at least partially.

Furniture in a home office

painting on the wall in the office

The main element of furniture in feng shui office is the table. Position it so that, while working behind it, you can always see the door to your office. If this is not possible, place or hang a mirror so that it is reflected in it, and you can always see people coming to you. There is no need to place a table so that there is a blank wall in front of your eyes; this makes it difficult for a person to move his personal energy.

You can correct it with a painting of a beautiful landscape.

Choose office furniture. Unlike ordinary furniture, office furniture has straight lines and sharp corners, which perfectly activates yang energy (active energy).

Cabinets and shelves should be lockable (preferably the doors should be glass) so that all office supplies, documents, books are hidden from prying eyes and also do not form “secret arrows”. From the point of view of beauty and convenience, this also plays a role.

Lighting and color for a study according to the rules of Feng Shui

It’s good to have windows in your office; natural light activates yang energy well. However, we must not forget that excessively bright light can lead to an imbalance of energies in the room and sometimes interfere with computer work, so feng shui office It is recommended to regulate natural light using curtains and all kinds of blinds. It is blinds and curtains, and not thick curtains, so the latter will not give the room severity and formality, but will create home comfort, which is not acceptable for a work room.

The source of artificial lighting should not be located directly above your head, this will lead to psychological pressure and discomfort.

As for the color scheme for the office, it should be active rich colors. Rich shades work best yellow , red , brown colors. Avoid cold tones ( blue , turquoise). Neutral tones ( gray or pastel) are acceptable. And here warm green will do just fine. It symbolizes the birth of a new life and has a beneficial effect on a person from an emotional point of view. WITH blue, be careful. Color is quite controversial and affects different people differently.

The office is a man's world

We are not saying that this is a place only for men. However, if we turn to the basics of Feng Shui and go back many years, we will find the reason for this statement. So, a long time ago there was a clear division of roles between men and women. The woman took care of the house and took care of its life, and the man was obliged to adequately represent the house in outside world. Women then had their own room, which was called a boudoir.

The man had his own room and it was the room of the owner of the house. The better the atmosphere reigned in the house, the more willingly people returned to it in order to gain strength for a worthy representation of the family at work, in offices, on business meetings etc.

Correct placement of furniture

The women were happy because their husbands provided them with decent life. Times have changed, and more and more men and women are switching roles. Cabinets and boudoirs are forgotten, the differences between the responsibilities of the owner or mistress of the house have been smoothed out. So much so that currently the office can be the room or place of the partner who is more active or who simply maintains the house.

What should a Feng Shui office look like?

This should be a room located in a quiet part of the house, or at least located in a quiet part of the room (but not a bedroom). Here one does conceptual work. This could be working with accounts, letters, reading, hobbies, science. Activities that require calm and concentration. Every adult needs such a corner. Even children need privacy, but they have a children's room. The most important pieces of furniture are a table, a chair and a shelf for books or documents. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the office should have good lighting.

Furniture in the office according to Feng Shui

Let's start by installing the desktop. The basic rule of Feng Shui says that a person sitting at a table should have a wall behind him and a view of the front door in front of him. Secondly, you should make sure that the chair is accessible from both sides of the table. If you need to place devices such as a printer, scanner, etc., they should be placed on separate cabinets, on the side of the table from which it is more convenient to use them.

On the table there should be only everything necessary for work, a phone, a calendar, documents with which you are currently busy. Also include a photo of someone or something that inspires you. Table decoration is governed by its own rules, compatible with Bagua plan. General rule It sounds like this - there should be order on the table. A desktop is not a warehouse. It should always be well-kept, there may be documents on it that you work with, but there should not be a bunch of papers waiting for someone to deal with them.

It should be kept in mind that the computer monitor must be placed at the correct distance from the face so as not to spoil your eyesight. A laptop is better than a desktop computer. In principle, these rules should be followed regardless of the rules of Feng Shui.

The chair or armchair should be comfortable and ergonomic. The back is well supported by a high backrest. It is better if the chair has armrests. Bookshelf for documents, books and various small items - office furniture. Purchasing a shelving unit should be thoughtful. A good shelving unit has the right depth to accommodate file folders and small books. Some of the shelves should be closed; various small items are hidden in them.

Feng Shui in the workplace

In addition to the ceiling light, the office should also have spotlights. A lamp on a desk, illuminating a keyboard or a floor lamp is best suited for this purpose. The light should not be harsh and harsh. What is also important is what is outside the window. The view outside the window should be pleasant, but should not distract attention from work. According to Feng Shui, an office is a refuge, a place for relaxation or reflection.

It is also important for raising children, like the director’s office in a company or school. The office establishes the authority of the parent. It should not be a children's playroom. It should be a place that the child enters with respect. This is a place for a serious conversation between a parent and a teenager or adult, forever etched in the child’s memory.

There are not always enough free meters in the apartment so that you can allocate a separate room. In this case, you need to allocate space at least for a chair, which will be the special chair of the owner or mistress of the house and will replace the office.

Geographical location of the Feng Shui office

In addition to the rules described above for organizing an office according to Feng Shui, it is necessary to take into account geographical directions and install the desk so that its owner uses his good energy. There must be energy here to realize goals, plans and ideas. Our good and bad geographical directions are assigned by the individual Kua number. If you know it, set your desktop accordingly, and think about the rest of the rules for customizing your desktop.

Modern feng shui office

Order

The office should be furnished by the person who uses it most often. Mostly we're talking about about order on the desktop. The owner has the right to be angry if someone cleans up the place, even with the best intentions. The office performs an important function in the life of the family; matters important to the family are considered here. It helps maintain the authority of parents over their children. It’s a pity that many apartments don’t have a room that you can call exclusively your own. If possible, organize an office for yourself.

Choosing the location of furniture in the office according to Feng Shui

Table

This is the compositional and semantic center of the office. The development of your business depends on its shape and location in space. Ideal place to place the table - the corner farthest from the entrance, diagonally. Then all visitors to your office will immediately look at you. There should be a wall behind your back - a symbol of a mountain, which will provide you with support and reliable protection. There is enough space around the table so that you can freely stand up, sit down and walk nearby. Since in cramped conditions the positive energy “qi” will stagnate and be reborn into “sha”. The workplace should be proportional to the size of the room and the status of the owner. It is necessary that the manager’s desk be larger than the desks of other employees - this symbolizes power and position in society.

Buy a stable table made of durable material, preferably of a symmetrical design. That is, if the table is equipped with cabinets for papers, then the right and left cabinets should be the same in shape and size. This design will provide you with the protection and protection of magical Feng Shui animals.

It is forbidden:

• install the table at an acute angle to the walls: this position provokes interpersonal conflicts;
• sit with your back to the door or window: this way you symbolically deprive the company of a fair, reliable leader;
• place a table under a ceiling beam: “sha” will have negative impact on the success of the company and your personal career.

Chair

Feng Shui says that there are no trifles in life - everything is very important, so even the choice of a chair must be approached with all responsibility. It is the chair that supports the potential that allows you to achieve success. The position in which you sit on a chair can help you achieve a lot. This should be your throne, and the back of the chair is one of the most important details in this subject, because the higher it is, the more reliable your rear. In addition, it is the high back that can protect against harmful spirits. In addition, a chair that resembles a throne is perceived as very respectable, so the person who occupies this place will look much more authoritative and serious - his position will be more reliable and requires respect. The chair definitely needs armrests, as this is comparable to the control that you have.

Other furniture

According to the teachings of Feng Shui, office furniture should be brown, since this color will help to enhance mental activity and concentrate on important matters. But black furniture is undesirable, since activities in such an office will be fruitless. There is no room for relaxing items in the office, so you need to get rid of the rocking chair or soft sofa. But leather furniture will come in very handy here, since it has “yang” energy and activates mental activity. By the way, if you have a computer in your office, choose furniture without corners. All shelving must be glazed. It is best to hang blinds on the windows, and put some kind of plant on the windowsill. You should not build anything above the table: racks or shelves, since if something hangs over you, it will soon lead to illness and failure.

Let's pay attention to the actions that need to be taken in order for our career to develop successfully:

• when choosing a desktop, give preference to a large and comfortable one;
• always keep it tidy and clean, wipe off dust regularly;
• choose a comfortable, expensive chair, always with armrests and a high back. With its appearance it will stand out among others and evoke respect for its lucky owner;
• the table must be in the correct position, from the point of view of Feng Shui - diagonally from the front door; the back of the person sitting must be reliably protected by a strong wall;
• It is recommended to hang a picture of a mountain on the wall behind your back, or a portrait of a high-ranking executive, for example, the head of the company you work for, or the president of the country;
• There should be no water behind you, be it an aquarium or a waterscape. Otherwise, water will, figuratively speaking, “extinguish” human energy. Therefore, place water symbols only in front of you.

It is also worth paying attention close attention that the edges of bookshelves and cabinets should not be directed at a sitting person, so it is better to place cabinets to the left and right of the table. They will symbolically protect a person from troubles and unnecessary anxiety.

There's a place for everything

If you cannot change the situation in your office, then you can arrange Feng Shui on your desktop by applying the “Hou Tian trigram”. Victoria Khilinich told about them. First, determine whether there are suitable positions in your environment. For example, the “needed” view from the window. If not, then you can bring any element to your table. Left-hand side. Element: Wood. Color: green, blue. Shape of objects: cylindrical, vertical rectangles. View from the window: trees, high-rise buildings, factory chimneys, columns.

Feng Shui: symbols of success in your office

Color and light

Good lighting will have a positive effect on work efficiency. That is why you need to try to ensure that the lighting is distributed evenly throughout the office. Frosted lamps do not tire the eyes as much and do not strain the psyche. It is believed that orange and yellow colors, so bright light in the office is undesirable.

As for the color of the walls, it is best to choose a calm palette for the office - it can be brown or green, gray or beige, as well as shades derived from them. But, first of all, you should pay attention to the lighting: if it is weak, then the walls should be made white, and if the room is very light, then darker colors can be used.

"Good picture

You must have accessories and items with you, as well as on your desk in the office, that carry the energy of victory and good luck. You will be lucky if you hang a picture in front of your table that depicts water in one form or another (snow, sea, lake, river). In this case, the wall on which this picture hangs should face north, east or southeast. If the wall in front of your table does not face one of the named directions, then you should not hang a picture, because... Water can have a double effect, which means it must be used with caution.

The plot of the picture is also no less important. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the appearance of the water element against the backdrop of mountains is less favorable than without mountains. Since the mountains in this case will symbolize obstacles on your path to success. But the image of a boat or ship on the water is considered a much more favorable sign.

Feng Shui also advises using an image of your dream, symbolizing prosperity: it could be reliable home, jewelry, yacht or car. The more often you glance at it, the greater the chance that your dream will come true.

Vase of financial well-being

A beautiful and expensive vase made of natural metal (copper, silver or even gold), semi-precious stone (for example, crystal) or porcelain, filled with semi-precious stones ( rock crystal, malachite, turquoise) and some jewelry will attract financial well-being to your office.

Such a vase financial well-being, according to Feng Shui, it should be placed depending on the material from which it is made. If it is made of stone, then it must be located in the southwestern or northeastern part of the office. If your vase is made of metal, then place it in the western or northwestern corners. An important rule: a vase of financial well-being should not be displayed, so hide it in a table, safe or filing cabinet and do not show it to anyone. For the same reasons, you should not place a vase of financial well-being in front of the front door.

Netsuke, crystals and other feng shui symbols

• Two dragons and coins are a wonderful money amulet. If you place it in the wealth zone (southeast) of your office, it will bring you financial prosperity and prosperity.
• Pagoda and six dragons - if you want to have a thriving business, then this Feng Shui symbol is just what you need.
• Pagoda with a bell - helps to curb negative energy. It is perfect for a subordinate's workplace.
• Dragon on money, Peppers, Fire peppers, Three ingots, Five coins and the hieroglyph Fu are symbols of material wealth.
• Two dragons are a talisman for an office, which should be located not far from the entrance.
• A toad on money and a pagoda are a talisman of career heights and wealth. You can also place her close to the entrance, so that she sits with her back to the door, as if she had just jumped towards your direction
• Pendant with bagua, dagger and coin is a talisman for business, which should be placed in the travel and assistants area.
• Bagua mirror - designed to reflect negative energy and attacks, the mirror should be directed towards the object.
• A pendant with coins - in the wealth sector will bring prosperity in business.
• A coin with a double knot helps to activate monetary energy.
• Symphol Ganesha (half man, half elephant) symbolizes wisdom and will help in solving difficult issues.
• Hotei – the cheerful god of wealth, brings prosperity to the office
• Money tree (a tree with gold coins instead of leaves) - a symbol of wealth and abundance
• Crystals and crystal pyramids accumulate energy and direct it towards achieving the desired well-being.

Aquarium and goldfish

In Feng Shui, water is a symbol of money, and fish symbolize success. Feng Shui also advises placing an aquarium with odd number goldfish. The ideal number is nine fish, of which eight are gold and the ninth is black. If any fish dies, be sure to replace it with a new one.

If you don’t want to have fish, a small fountain or a picture of water rushing upward will do.

Home office

Many people are faced with the difficulty of arranging a home office. Especially if the office is located inside a living space and not in a separate building. Often the owner of the office struggles with the temptation to get down to business even on holidays and weekends, and when he retires to this room, his family members disturb the idyll and distract him on various issues. Working from home requires self-discipline, and a person must stick to his own schedule. Feng Shui can help with this - if you adhere to its basic rules, you can significantly improve your working conditions.

1. Cabinet location

Ideally, the office should not be located in the southwest, as the energy level here is very low. The northern direction has a beneficial effect on professional growth, the north-west affects the ability to lead, and also awakens a sense of responsibility, but the north-east improves knowledge. These parts have favorable “qi” energy - it is important for work in the office. Be sure to make sure that there are no sharp corners, as they can direct “poison arrows” towards a person. You can “disguise” them either with the help of mirrors or with the help of screens. It’s good if there is metal in the office - as it belongs to the element of water, it improves the flow of thoughts and has a beneficial effect on the work process. Any metal decorations are suitable for the office. Fewer plants And more water- this is the main rule of the office. Fountains and aquariums will fit perfectly into the workspace, but you should still avoid plants that “dampen” the water element.

1. Color solution

The office should give a feeling of calm, so you should carefully consider its color scheme. Avoid cool colors; shades from blue to turquoise are not acceptable. It is best to make the office in warm colors, and even better - in green, since this color is a symbol of life and carries a large number of energy. But remember that "mixing" blue tint to green will negate all the positive properties of this color. In general, blue color must be handled very carefully, because it has very strong properties and can have a negative impact.

1. Desk and chair

Desk in home office should be positioned so that you can see the front door. If several people will work in this room - for example, a husband and wife, then there is no need to arrange the tables so that people sit face to face to each other. It is better to place the table (or tables) close to the wall. As for the chair, it should be comfortable and durable, thereby embodying the four protective spirits. It is worth making sure that the chair is facing the door and its back is to the wall. If you receive visitors in your office, make sure that their chairs are lower than your chair, and place their chairs with their backs to the front door.

1. Office inside

Be sure to choose favorable places for each piece of furniture, as well as for all items on the table - you can use ba gua symbolism for this. Make sure that objects do not have the opportunity to come into conflict with the energy of the area where they are located. For example, direct the light from a table lamp diagonally to the hand with which you will write - then there will be no extra shadow. The office can be decorated with various inspiring landscapes - this will also have a beneficial effect on work. The office should be cleaned as often as possible; you should not collect trash in this room. Make sure that all work surfaces are free of unnecessary items that have no direct relation to professional tasks. All papers must be dealt with as they arrive - do not delay reading letters or reviewing business documentation, do not let piles of papers accumulate. Throw away all unnecessary directories.

1. Home office environment

Access to this room must be free. There should not be any foreign objects on the way to it - no matter where the office is located, in the house or in the outbuilding. This is a mandatory condition, since clutter on the approaches to the office speaks, first of all, about the unprofessionalism of its owner. If the office shares space with some other functional part of the room, fence it off with a screen or large piece of furniture. You can also lay down another carpet, which will symbolize the boundaries of the “office”.

Important Notes

• Avoid smoking in the workplace. This not only harms your health, but also generates stagnant negative energy.
• Try to always keep your work area clean and tidy. At the end of each working day, clear your desk of unnecessary papers that will block the positive energy of “chi”. A relatively clean desk surface encourages your creativity and increases your productivity. Don't forget to check your computer as well.
• Fresh air, cleanliness and good lighting do not allow energy to stagnate, but to circulate freely, giving vigor and strength to people working in the office.
• Care should be taken to ensure that all workstations and equipment are freely accessible, and that all items and folders are constantly in use, so that stagnation energy does not form, which adversely affects business development. It is better to store documents that are rarely used in a separate place - in an archive or in a warehouse.
• The orientation of the table is of fundamental importance: the gaze of the person sitting at the table should be turned in a direction favorable to him, which is determined individually, according to the Gua number. And this is very important not only for increasing income and career growth, but also for good health, a healthy approach to work and life in general.
• There are several more rules that are followed when creating Feng Shui for an office. One of them is the assignment of premises in accordance with the flying star map of a given building.
• For example, a meeting room where there is active discussion almost every day, located in a good mountain star, will bring dissent into the team and lead to the loss of friendships, and will not attract successful money projects.
• In a mountain star, it would be more correct to locate the director’s office or accounting department, where people work sitting and quietly. But in sectors with favorable water stars (money sectors), it is advisable to place sales managers, a secretary, and a customer service department. This state of affairs will allow the business to quickly develop and the entire company to grow.

Sometimes we want changes in the house and we begin a large-scale rearrangement of furniture and things. By doing this in accordance with the rules of Feng Shui, we will soon notice positive changes in our lives - our careers are skyrocketing, relationships with loved ones are improving, and financial position is improving. Arranging your workplace according to Chinese traditions will also have a positive impact on your business. If you decide to rearrange your desk or improve your office, it’s worth considering key points Feng Shui practices.

We spend a good third of our time working, so why not optimize this process? You will not be limited to an improved mood. Success, profit and career directly depend on the interior details you choose and their location.

• Place the table so that your back is not to the entrance to the room. From an energetic point of view, such an arrangement is dangerous and can attract betrayal into your life. Pay special attention to this point if the door opens into the room.
• Sit with your face, not your back, to the window. This entails difficulties in mutual understanding with work colleagues, as well as the inability to enlist the support of your boss.
• Pay attention to the Water symbols. The table should be positioned so that they are never behind you. Water symbols include aquariums, decorative fountains, paintings depicting the water element, etc. They attract wealth and prosperity.
• Make sure there are no structures above your head, such as shelves, large chandeliers or an air conditioner. They create pressure, interfere with thinking and creative processes, and also block the flow of positive energy.
• Try to hide all wires. When they are in a visible place, they negatively affect the flow of profit and business success.

Office workspace design

In modern offices, in order to save space, workplaces are arranged very compactly: in separate cubicles or surrounded by partitions. A person feels pressure and discomfort, and the table turns out to be cluttered with computer equipment and office supplies. To visually expand such a small space, hang a picture with a landscape or any symbol of Water on the wall near the table - the sea, a waterfall, a mountain river, etc.

Lighting plays an important role. It is advisable to have a lamp on the desktop. Its light should fall from the side opposite the working hand, or from above. Blinds or curtains protect from bright sunlight and help you concentrate better. However, natural light should enter the room, as it brings harmony and comfort.

Decorate the boring gray place, thereby brightening up the routine execution of tasks, any item that makes you delighted will help. This could be a photograph of a loved one, an original pen stand, a decorative decoration for the monitor, in general, anything that comes to your mind. Looking at this, your mood will rise and fatigue will go away.

Feng Shui of the work area requires protection for humans. Indoor plants can provide such protection. People who work on high floors or sit near a window need it most. By the way, the choice of plants should be approached responsibly. Fern will improve relationships between employees, chrysanthemum will protect you from unwanted conflicts, geranium will help with career advancement, cyclamen will help you gain self-confidence. But the cactus, which many people like to decorate their table with, should not be placed - its spines attract negativity and have a bad effect on your financial situation. Although every rule has an exception - place it in the center of the table and you will protect yourself from intrigue and betrayal.

If your office does not have windows, be sure to place an aquarium, flowerpots with plants and paintings of the natural landscape in it.

Table, according to Chinese practice must always be tidy, clean and neat. Try to get rid of unnecessary papers or at least diligently put them in folders. The office needs to be cleaned regularly, wet cleaned and ventilated. Cluttering things and dust prevents the circulation of energy, so that luck and money always accompany you. Keep popular items within easy reach, and keep those you rarely use in shelves, nightstands and cabinets.

If you are a subordinate and cannot choose your own workplace, try at least turning the table. By calculating the Gua number, you will know your favorable location, and towards it you should sit. As a seat the best option There will be a work chair with a straight, hard back and armrests. This support for backs and arms creates stability in the work environment. Its mobility, that is, the presence of wheels, will come in handy.

It would be wrong to place subordinates opposite each other. Employees' views overlap, causing discomfort, distraction, and hindering career development. If a superior person is sitting opposite you, you can forget about the promotion. soon. It is best for management to be placed behind the backs of subordinates, controlling the work process and not “pressing” with their gaze. This also symbolizes their support and providing you with a strong and reliable rear.

According to Feng Shui, the boss’s desk should not only contribute to his and the company’s success, but also help achieve a friendly atmosphere in the team. It is best for him to sit with his back to the wall, symbolizing support and support. Be sure to avoid a position with your back to the door; this can lead to a weakening of authority and significant discomfort. The effect can be enhanced by placing paintings depicting mountain peaks. If the room is very small, hang pictures of lakes, meadows and other open, peaceful landscapes. Avoid sharp corners in the office, otherwise all your luck in business will evaporate without a trace. Good natural and artificial lighting in the manager’s office will charge him with positive energy and relieve stress. bad mood and depressive conditions.

Furniture must emphasize the level and status of a person and his position. Strict design made of natural furniture, plain walls in beige, light green or pale brown tones are the best helpers. The chair should fit into the overall interior, be of the correct shape and preferably made of leather.

Any metal objects activate work activity, attract positive impulses and attract strength for a successful business.

Office decoration

When choosing a place in the house for an office, make your choice in favor of a room located close to the front door. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the room should have a regular square or rectangular shape, since each corner is responsible for one of the spheres of life. The absence of one of the corners in the room will negatively affect the area responsible for it. This can be corrected by placing a mirror in the corner. Diffused lighting and favorable colors will allow you to work with a clear mind every day.

Your office should not only be practical and in line with Chinese practices, but also reflect your character. Add a few of your favorite things to decorate it.

Clean your work area regularly. Get rid of unnecessary junk, carefully fold documents and wipe dust off your equipment. Don’t delay reading letters and other documentation, otherwise soon piles of papers will tower next to you and interfere with your work. Order is the basis of Feng Shui, remember this.

Use a metal table lamp for lighting. Place it opposite your working hand so that the light falls in the right direction and the shadow does not interfere with your work. Close window location and hit sunlight- this is of course good, but too bright rays will be distracting, making it difficult to see the monitor. Use blinds or light curtains to diffuse sunlight slightly in the morning. You should not completely prevent the entry of rays and curtain the windows with thick curtains. The sun carries countless charges of positive energy necessary for thought processes.

To put yourself in the right mood for work, put up photographs that show your career success - awarding a diploma and public speaking, and hang a nice picture of nature on the wall. We do not recommend sitting facing an empty wall, but when this cannot be avoided, it is better to see fields and harvests in front of you in order to collect them in life.

When sitting at your desk, you should not see the sharp corners of other furniture in the room. Of course, in some apartments it is difficult to find a spacious corner for work, so brighten up sharp corners with fabric, decorations or indoor plants. The easiest option is to stretch along them wool thread so that all conflicts and troubles at work pass you by.

To ensure future opportunities and prospects, make sure you can approach the table from multiple angles.

An important decision is purchasing a desk chair. You will have to sit on it for long hours, so it should be as comfortable and convenient as possible. Adjustable soft wide chairs with straight backs and armrests will help minimize back fatigue and neck tension. Leaning back on it for a few minutes will be a real pleasure. The back plays important role, protecting you from evil spirits. Upright posture characterizes a respectable business person.

There should be a minimum of furniture in the office. Choose brown and other natural tones, avoid dark shades. Black furniture will make your work completely fruitless. Avoid relaxing furnishings, such as a soft sofa. It’s not even an hour before you forget about work and lie down on the sofa to take a nap, submitting to its magic. If you want to place it, choose a hard leather sofa that promotes control and work. Leather furniture fits perfectly into the work environment - it has “yang” energy and activates brain activity. An office cannot be complete without a cabinet for documents and other professional utensils. Make sure that its doors are always closed, otherwise it will be difficult to collect your thoughts, and you will often suffer from absent-mindedness.

At the time of the birth of Feng Shui, there was no trace of technology, so its electromagnetic pulses interfere with the work process. Nowadays it’s hard to imagine working without a computer, but still try not to clutter your office with it.

Accurate table location

The teachings of Feng Shui help determine the best location for the workplace based on your own date of birth. For correct calculation, do not take into account the first two digits. Let's give an example. The lady was born in 1982, which means we take only the number 82. Subtract 4 from it, we get 78. Divide this number by 9. Subtract 8 from a hundred, we get 92. Divide by 9 again and get the number 10 - this is the desired number . A man born in 1982 first subtracts 82 from a hundred, getting 18. And then divides by 9, the resulting number 2 is his number. Pay attention only to whole numbers.

Once you have figured out your figure, all that remains is to refer to this simple explanatory table:

This will give you the optimal location for your desktop. It is worth noting that Feng Shui experts do not recommend placing it in the south side, as this contributes to conflicts and unpleasant working moments.

Desktop sectors

Chinese practice teaches us the correct placement of objects on the desktop. Let's roughly divide it into three main zones:

• The central part symbolizes good luck, a successful financial situation, and possible future victories in the professional sphere. This zone is also responsible for past victories, so for the right energy, place cups, frames with diplomas and certificates and other evidence of achievements here. If you don’t have them at all, then leave this sector empty, don’t clutter it with unnecessary things - then the path to a bright future will be clear.
• The left side is the zone of wealth. Are you looking for more profit? Then we advise you to put up a small money tree that attracts finances and success. Thus, you get 2 in 1: a plant on your desktop and an improvement in your financial situation. If for some reason you don’t want to see the tree, you can replace it with another Feng Shui talisman - a piggy bank or a frog with three legs. Place them on a red cloth and tie them with a red ribbon, because, as you know, this color attracts wealth.
• The right side is responsible for creative direction. Post here some of the results of your successful work, some projects or documentation. But don't overdo it with a bunch of things! Everything should be compact and neatly folded. Install a telephone in the right area of ​​the table; this will help establish relationships with superiors.
• The computer desktop is also important for beneficial work. Place a relaxing photo on your screensaver, such as a landscape or, better yet, any image of water (remember the influence of water symbols). Remove all unnecessary icons, documents and folders.

Color spectrum

Feng Shui teaches that each color and each shade has its own energy, so it is important to take into account the range of the work area. Color not only improves performance and improves mood, but can also have a positive/negative effect on human health.

Modern white and black or gray office spaces are a bad solution, as they do not harmonize at all - there are literally no colors in this design. Neutral White color does not carry any energy, and black only absorbs light rays. The gray shade is just a mixture of the first two.

The presence of many motley bright tones pleases in the first minutes of being in the room, but after a few minutes it begins to tire and even irritate. Therefore, try not to overdo it with monotony and saturation, choosing harmonizing shades.

Beige, soft green, marsh, light orange, and coffee colors contribute to a relaxed and productive atmosphere.

Talismans on the table

Let's take a closer look at the useful talismans that should be placed on the table, as well as their positive impact.

The three-legged toad, which we mentioned just above, is an ancient Chinese symbol material well-being. Choose this unusual figurine with a coin in its mouth, place it in the left area of ​​the table and ensure yourself a stable financial position.

Any figurine in the shape of a pyramid is very strong amulet, which stimulates performance and has a positive effect on energy circulation. Place it in the right or central area of ​​the table to help your career take off. Make your choice in favor of a crystal product.

Indian elephant god called Ganesha increases your chance of promotion wages in particular and total income family as a whole. It also has a positive effect on relationships with business partners and the successful conclusion of transactions. From time to time, stroke the hands and trunk of the elephant god to activate its action. You can also put candy next to it.

A variety of pictures with hieroglyphs of wealth, success or fame will also have a beneficial effect on work. A dragon figurine helps develop your creative abilities and protects you from ill-wishers, and an old man with a bag of money Hottei is useful for attracting wealth.

Keep a lot of information in your head and constantly forget important details? Then be sure to keep crystals that have powerful energy for working at a computer.

Feng Shui above and below the table

Above your table in optimal option there should be a flat ceiling with lamps, without huge lamps, beams or other overhanging things that create tension and discomfort. Subconsciously, every person thinks that these pipes or lamps may fall on their heads, which means that working in such an atmosphere will not be productive.

The same discomfort is created by air conditioners or heaters, whose cold or warm air currents cause discomfort from time to time. If you don’t have the opportunity to change your place at work, stock up on an umbrella in advance that can block the air. It’s even easier to change the direction of the air conditioner air flow in the settings.

The space under the table needs to be given no less attention. Don't clutter it with countless "necessary" things just because no one will notice them. Get rid of boxes, tidy up wires, dust off dust, and remove lingering cobwebs from corners. The feeling of tightness will disappear and work will become easier. The system unit and the necessary things under the table should be on your left side.

The correct arrangement of furniture, the position of the table and the selection of objects on it contribute to a favorable and productive work environment, attract good luck and improve financial status. Support in the form of a wall at the back, space and opportunities in front. A tidy and clean table, a comfortable chair, the presence of talismans and relaxing objects help to properly tune in to work and accumulate positive energy and achieve new heights.
