Details
The home office's most critical Feng Shui element is the Command Position for the desk: seated at the desk, you should see the door without being directly in line with it. A solid wall behind the chair represents support (avoid having your back to a window, as this symbolizes lack of support). The desk should not face a wall directly — this creates an energetic 'dead end' for career progression. Additional elements: a small plant to the left of the desk (Wood element, growth), a crystal or metal object to the right (clarity), good natural light or a task lamp, and an uncluttered workspace (clutter = stagnant career energy). For those seeking promotion or new opportunities, the North (Career) sector of the room should be activated with a water feature or black/blue objects.
