Ideal Placement of Office Desk

  • Back Support: Your back should be towards a solid wall (not a window or glass partition). This gives psychological and energetic support.
  • Avoid Beams: Do not sit directly under a beam or false ceiling beam.
  • Clear Front: Keep the front of the desk open and clean. Avoid facing a wall very closely.
  • Door Position: Ideally, the desk should be placed so that you can see the main door of the room while sitting (command position).
  • Avoid Toilet/Kitchen Wall: Never place your desk against a wall that has a toilet or kitchen on the other side.
