How to place the desk in Feng Shui (pictures and text)
Desks are now an indispensable piece of furniture in every home. So what kind of desk can not only bring good fortune but also enhance one’s thinking and creative abilities?
1. Notes on desk placement
1. There is a backrest behind the desk
The desk should have something to lean against, to give a sense of security and not be disturbed from behind. In addition to self-effort, wisdom and opportunity, it should also gain the favor of noble people, the care of teachers or the appreciation and support of superiors, which is beneficial to the development of study and career. The desk should not be against the door or window. In terms of the environment, if the desk is facing the window, people will easily be distracted by the scenery outside the window and find it difficult to concentrate on work.
2. Avoid reading with your seat facing away from the door
When people sit with their back to the door, the door is the air outlet, which takes in fresh air, but also takes in foul air. When people sit with their back to the door, there is nothing behind the seat to support them, and it is empty, which makes people feel insecure, and they will always be in danger of being attacked from behind, and it also makes people feel frightened and cold on their backs.
They will often be in a state of tension, wary of unexpected events from behind, which is not conducive to studying.
3. Avoid placing the desk under a beam
The desk should not be placed behind a beam, because the beam will give people a sense of oppression. In Feng Shui, anything under a beam is bad, so it should be placed on the side. Not placing it under a beam is the best way.
2. Practical experience of desk feng shui
Last year, my client Mr. Wang asked me to go to his home to decorate a room for his child that would be conducive to academic feng shui. I looked at his child's five elements and eight characters, and found that he likes wood. So the material should not be too hard, and a square desk is also suitable. A square desk has a stable meaning, representing stable study without ups and downs. The original desk had too many sharp corners, which had an unstable aura. It is best to choose a desk that suits you.
3. Summary and answers to questions about desk feng shui
1. What shape is not suitable for the desk?
Answer: You cannot use a diamond-shaped desk because its sharp edges will impact the person sitting on the stool, and it will make the child sitting in front of the desk unable to concentrate and slow in learning.
2. What color is the best desk?
A: Light green should be the main color. This is mainly because Wenchang Star (some call it Wenqu Star) belongs to the wood element, so the color of wood, that is, green, should be used, which will help to strengthen Wenchang Star.
3. What colors should not be used for desks
Answer: Desks should never be dark gray or black, as these tones will affect children's visual experience, make them pessimistic, and have an impact on their learning mentality.
4. What should not be placed on the desk
Answer: You cannot hang wind chimes as they can disturb your mind. Wind chimes are also a type of Feng Shui item. If you hang them near a desk and the sound they make is blown by the wind, it is not good for children's night reading as it can easily bring in bad air.
