Feng Shui Office Chair

The considerations for office chairs in Feng Shui mainly involve hanging clothes, placement behind the chair, and other dos and don'ts, as detailed below:

Hanging Clothes on Office Chairs

• Color Selection: Earthy yellow or yellow is highly recommended. In the Five Elements theory, earthy yellow belongs to the earth element, symbolizing the earth firmly supporting all things. Hanging it on the back of the chair implies having someone always supporting you from behind, creating an artificial "support mountain," especially suitable when clients change their minds unexpectedly or leaders are inconsistent. People with a wood element deficiency and needing water are also particularly suitable for using yellow to boost their luck. Other optional colors include beige, camel, off-white, light apricot, gray, and other low-key neutral colors. Navy blue jackets appear professional. When the seat faces the main door or aisles, hanging warm-colored clothes can resolve the issue of having no support. In summer, a mint green cardigan can be chosen, while in winter, a dark brown coat is suitable. For those whose fate avoids the earth element, a burgundy lucky shirt is more appropriate. Avoid fiery red and purple, as well as watery dark blue and black (hanging these in poorly lit offices can make people drowsy). Avoid fluorescent or bright red colors to prevent being too conspicuous during meetings.
• Material Selection: It is recommended to choose cotton or linen materials. Synthetic, reflective fabrics can easily bounce away good luck. Cotton and linen materials are natural and simple, aligning with the harmony and stability pursued in Feng Shui, helping to create a good aura.
• Hanging Method and Quantity: Clothes should be neatly draped over the back of the chair, preferably covering the entire back to better form a "support mountain" effect. If the chair back is too low, a matching cushion can be added to enhance support. In terms of the number of clothes, two main colors are sufficient. Avoid creating a color palette or hanging too many clothes to form a "pressing" effect, which can cause psychological pressure and affect work performance.
• Other Considerations: Keep clothes neat and avoid piling them up messily. A clean environment helps the flow and stability of the aura. If possible, pair with green plants or screens. Green plants add vitality, while screens can block and resolve negative energy, complementing the Feng Shui effect of hanging clothes for better results.

Placement Behind Office Chairs

• It is suitable to place plants with large leaves. Plants with large leaves can release more oxygen and block negative energy, absorbing bad vibes from the surrounding environment. Plants with broad leaves have the effect of attracting wealth, while thorny plants can resolve negative energy. Therefore, the most suitable plants to place behind are those with broad leaves and thorns.
• The best Feng Shui is to have a support mountain behind the seat. In an office, the so-called support mountain is a wall. The seat should be as close to the wall as possible, with minimal space between the wall and the seat, creating a sense of security in the layout.

Other Feng Shui Dos and Don'ts for Office Chairs

• The seat should not face the entrance to the boss's office directly. According to ancient principles, there is a clashing aura between superiors and subordinates, which is unfavorable for one's career. Facing the boss's office directly can make one easily influenced and unable to concentrate on work.
• The office chair should not be too high, as a high seat implies instability and can cause anxiety and energy loss. It should be at an appropriate height. The office chair should also not be too large or too small; it should be of a suitable size. A large chair appears improper, while a small chair feels cramped.
