Office Feng Shui
for the Bosses
The main purpose
of a business is to make money (except
non-profit-making organizations); thus, it is
important to set the office Feng Shui to
maximize its profitability and minimize the
risk.
The best Feng Shui setting should be matched
with the bosses' trigrams - CEO, CFO and etc. To
name a few, the location, the facing, the door
orientation, the arrangement of rooms will all
affect the Feng Shui of an office. There are,
however, some basic principles to follow:
1. The main entrance should not be blocked, and
all of the office interiors should not easily be
seen from the main entrance.
The main entrance is the flow of Qi, the ‘source
of income', so it should not be blocked in any
way. Some offices, especially small ones, have
their main door blocked in the way that the door
cannot be fully opened. This will prevent the
income from coming in.
If the main entrance can see the entire
interior, the office cannot hold its Qi and
money will not stay long. In fact, it will not
be 'safe' for the business if people visiting the office
are able
to see the whole interior, as there are some secrets
in the office that should be kept from
the visitors.
2. The rooms of CEO and CFO should not be in the
front portion of the office.
3. The doors of the CEO and CFO rooms should not
be opposite to each other.
4. All the desks should not be facing the wall
or directly facing the door.
If it is necessary to sit facing a wall (instead
of backing onto a wall), the chair should have
a high solid back in yellow or brown colour to act as a support.
5. Never put your tables and seats under the beams.
Move them to a position that is not directly
under any type of beams, including air ducts.
6. If your window is facing two high-rise
buildings with a narrow gap between them, you should install a blind on that window and
keep it closed all the time.
A detailed plan can be set up by consulting a
Feng Shui consultant. Good Luck!
