Office Chair Orientation Suggestions
Admin October 16, 2026
The orientation of office chairs should be determined comprehensively based on different job positions, needs, and Feng Shui principles, as follows:

I. Suggestions for the Orientation of Leaders' Office Chairs
- Selection Based on Industry and Goals:
- Facing east or southeast: Suitable for young leaders or managers planning to expand the company, symbolizing new opportunities and development.
- Facing southwest to northeast: Suitable for leaders in highly competitive industries such as ore mining, emphasizing wise investment and challenge response.
- Facing west to east: Suitable for leaders in software development or market development companies, with the east direction representing a good start and rapid development.
- Facing south to north: Suitable for leaders in administrative departments, facilitating interpersonal communication and position promotion.
- Facing northwest: Suitable for leaders pursuing stable development, with particular emphasis on maintaining relationships with subordinates.
- Facing north to south: Suitable for leaders in mass media and sales fields, with the south direction symbolizing enthusiasm and determination to overcome difficulties.
- Facing east to west: Suitable for leaders approaching retirement or managers in investment and sales companies, reflecting economic strength and investment prospects.
- General Feng Shui Principles:
- Prioritize quiet locations where the door can be observed. Facing north to south or northwest to southeast is the most stable, with light shining from the side to avoid screen glare. Having a solid wall behind enhances a sense of control and avoids the dispersion of energy caused by facing away from the door.
II. Suggestions for the Orientation of Ordinary Employees' Office Chairs
- General Principles:
- Prioritize locations with soft light and away from pedestrian interference. Facing east to west or south to north can avoid direct sunlight on the screen and enhance concentration.
- Have a partition or solid wall behind, away from noise sources such as printers and water dispensers. Financial positions must have a solid wall behind and not face the door.
- Impact of Orientation:
- Facing west to east: Enhances ambition and self-confidence, but be cautious of restlessness caused by overly ambitious goals.
- Facing east to west: Facilitates wealth accumulation, but may trigger laziness or romantic relationships in the workplace, not suitable for financial personnel.
- Facing north to south: Suitable for socially active employees, but attention should be paid to interpersonal pressure.
- Facing south to north: Suitable for employees with independent tasks, but may create a sense of isolation.
III. Suggestions for the Orientation of Sales/Reception/Front Desk Positions
- Suitable for the diagonal position opposite the main door, with a solid wall behind to ensure the first sight of entering customers and avoid direct airflow or sudden interruptions in thought.
IV. Feng Shui Taboos
- Avoid being close to or directly facing the toilet door to prevent the influence of impure air on luck and health.
- Do not be located under a crossbeam, which can easily cause mental stress and career obstacles.
- Avoid sharp corners such as cabinet corners and window corners outside the window ("sharp corner evils"), which can be resolved by relocation or placing a "Seven-Star Qian Gang Zhen".
- Have a solid wall behind for support to avoid a lack of security caused by emptiness.
- The office desk should not face the door directly to prevent the direct impact of negative energy; the front should be open to avoid wall obstruction of energy flow.
