Office Chair Facing the Bathroom on the Right

Admin October 08, 2026

When the office chair faces the bathroom on the right, you can resolve Feng Shui issues by adjusting the layout, using Feng Shui-dispelling items, etc. The specific methods are as follows:

  1. Place Plants as Barriers
    Place large broad-leaved plants (such as pothos, money trees, etc.) between the office chair and the bathroom. The wide leaves of the plants can effectively absorb the foul air and form a visual barrier to reduce psychological discomfort. If space permits, install wooden or fabric screens to further block the direct discharge of bathroom foul air into the office area. Note that the plants need regular maintenance to avoid wilting, which can affect the Feng Shui effect.

  2. Keep the Bathroom Clean and Well-Ventilated
    Increase the number of ventilation openings in the bathroom (such as installing exhaust fans or opening windows) to create multi-directional airflow and accelerate the discharge of foul air, reducing the probability of it entering the office. At the same time, keep the interior bright to avoid the growth of bacteria or the triggering of negative emotions in a dark and damp environment. It is recommended to use warm-toned lighting and regularly clean the toilet, floor, and other areas.

  3. Adjust the Position of the Office Chair
    If the spatial layout allows, move the office chair to a position away from the bathroom (such as to the left or in front) to avoid being in the path of foul air discharge for a long time. When adjusting, pay attention to avoiding other Feng Shui taboos: There should be a solid backrest (a wall or a cabinet) behind the seat to enhance stability; Leave a buffer zone in front (about 60 - 80 centimeters) to avoid theๅŽ‹่ฟซๆ„Ÿ (sense of oppression) caused by being too close to the wall; Avoid facing the door of the supervisor/boss's room, the back of the photocopier, or a colleague's seat to prevent psychological pressure or interpersonal conflicts.

  4. Use Feng Shui-Dispelling Items
    Hang an open-mouthed Five-Element Yin-Yang Gourd (made of copper or wood) on the bathroom door frame to use the gourd's absorbing property to resolve foul air; or hang a peach-wood animal head (such as a lion or pixiu) on the wall to block the evil spirit with the animal head's deterrent power. If it is a rented house and the structure cannot be changed, place Five Emperor Coins (coins from the reigns of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing) under the office door mat to use the yang energy of the ancient coins to block the evil spirit.

  5. Avoid Other Feng Shui Conflicts
    Check whether the office chair faces the kitchen (fire clash), the water dispenser (water-fire clash), or a crossbeam (sense of oppression). If so, adjust the position. Also, avoid sitting face-to-face with colleagues. You can reduce direct eye contact by staggering the seating arrangement or using green plants as dividers to lower psychological pressure. If the office has windows, ensure that the curtains can adjust the light to avoid direct strong light that can cause irritability.
