Arrangement of a workplace in the living room. Organization of the workplace: the correct location of the desktop according to Feng Shui

Psychologists say that the productivity of your work directly depends on how the workplace is arranged. Like it or not, at least in terms of functionality and beauty, a comfortable and pleasant-looking cabinet is already half of your success.

Workplace can be organized anywhere - there would be a fantasy. The home office can be both conservative and ultra-modern, if desired, turn into a living room, or even follow you around the house.

And do not forget that the office is not just a workplace, it is also excellent tool self-expression. If you want to be known as a sophisticated collector or an avid traveler, a lover of classical literature or an outstanding creative person - a properly designed office will help you.

So, let's go on a journey to the jobs of your dreams.

Choosing a place for the office

If you often take work home, or are a natural freelancer in general, it goes without saying that you need a comfortable and beautiful workplace at home. Many of us don't even consider how much more efficient our work could be if we stopped turning our bedroom into a home office, the cozy sleepy sofa in the living room, or worse, the dining table. So, let's go through our apartments, take a critical look at everything and finally find a place to work. Most likely, the desktop will be most conveniently placed in the bedroom or living room, or maybe you are lucky with the area of ​​​​the hall or balcony? Then we boldly send all our affairs there.
There are some rules for placing the workplace, the main one is the presence of natural light, so try to place the desktop closer to the window, it is desirable that the window be left hand from the table, this position is the most correct in terms of natural light.

Here, the desktop is located in the center of a luxurious living room and not only fulfills its intended purpose, but also serves as a room divider into zones.

Pay attention to how harmoniously the work desk fits into this classic living room. The only downside here, perhaps, is that you will be working with your back to the window, which is not very correct in terms of lighting.

A very good example of placing a workplace in a seemingly very small room, the important point here is that the furniture complex is made to order and fits perfectly into the space without eating a single gram of usable space. There is also a window (natural light), and a place to store small things and equipment - ideal.

A few more similar examples:

In the design of a compact workplace, try to use lightweight structures, White color and transparent elements (glass tabletops, plastic chairs).

Also, an excellent example of compact furniture for decorating a home office is a secretary. This is both a desk and storage in one item.

There are many interesting options for workplace placement, in addition to the obvious ones.

Let's start with the most common - loggias. Even on the smallest insulated balcony, your mini office can fit.

Now let's move on to the less obvious options. Turn a wide window sill into a desktop.

Or go even more radical and hide your office in a closet (or, as one option, between closets).

(all furnishings, including the desktop - IKEA)

Some need a desk for work, others for reflection, and still others for maintaining creative mess on it. In addition to the necessary technical devices, representatives of the free professions do not need much at all: a comfortable working corner, the atmosphere of which sets up for hard work.
Perhaps most of you are not in creative professions, however, you may have a creative hobby that you devote yourself to after hours at home. For this, you will also need a dedicated workplace, decorated with imagination. It will immediately tell your guests that you are an outstanding personality and a true artist by vocation, even if you spend 5 days a week in a strict office of a large company.

According to statistics, an average office worker spends 150 hours a year searching for missing documents. At the same time, one of the 20 documents is not found at all! The moral here is, keep your documents in folders.
Do not forget also that in the workplace we always need a lot of little things: stickers, pens and pencils, printer paper - all this must be sorted and laid out in their places.
Items for compact storage will help you, as well as all kinds of closed drawers, stationery stands and shelves for small items.

Everything is beautiful and correct here, the only nuance that I would advise you to get rid of in the workplace is a mirror - it will most likely constantly distract you.

Do not neglect such a convenient and very practical thing as a cork or fabric board, on which you can distribute everything that you need to keep in mind while you work. The exposure on such a board is very easy to change. It's just brilliant and irreplaceable thing for the home office!

Functionality and order are very important, but as I never tire of reminding in each of my articles - never forget about beauty! In the workplace, it is very important to surround yourself with objects that will delight you and inspire you to labor exploits!
Photos, little things dear to the heart, a box for small things inherited from a beloved grandmother, original lamps. Complete this list with those that are close in spirit to you.

From reality to dream - workrooms

Visualize what you really want. And if you have been dreaming of a full-fledged isolated office for a long time, the following examples will help you on the way to making your dream come true. There is everything here - spacious cabinets to accommodate a personal library, luxurious armchairs, noble materials. Although, perhaps, such options are more suitable for men :)

Work takes up a huge part of our lives. Therefore, of course, work should bring satisfaction, should be to your liking.

And it depends not only on whether we like this work performed or not, but also on whether our workplace is properly organized. That's what we'll talk about.

Properly organizing your workplace is important not only for those who work in offices, but also for those who work at home. The back will quickly get tired from working on the couch, and the habit of working in a dressing gown will certainly not contribute to the emergence of fresh, extraordinary ideas and a working mood.

Shelves hanging over the table, all sorts of furniture corners directed right at you and the door right behind you - it would be nice to get rid of all this by redevelopment of your workspace. Let's make sure that work time was fruitful to the maximum and brought joy and satisfaction.

Workplace

In the house

The Chinese believe that there are no small things in life. According to experts, the location of your desktop has a very great importance. It is best to sit so that your table is visible directly from the front door, but located as far from it as possible.
In other words, try to place your desktop so that you can see the front door (but not directly opposite it). If this is not possible, place a mirror in the field of view, which would reflect the entrance to the room or office.

You should not put a table on the same line between the door and the window opening - it will, as it were, “blow out” all your plans, undertakings, new projects and profits from the room

Also important point: there should not be any open passages behind your back, otherwise you risk constantly experiencing a feeling of anxiety. In addition, it is better not to sit with your back to the window and to the door, so as not to provoke an outflow of energy and trouble.

If you are a beginner business, then ideally your table should be oriented to the east.
The northwest is a favorable direction for people with the makings of a leader, the southeast will attract the energies of creativity and creation, and the west will make your position reliable and stable.
However, the southern direction should be avoided by everyone without exception - it brings disharmony, adds tension and increases stress.

Try to ensure that there are no sharp corners directed in your direction in the workplace.
Pay attention to the fact that your workplace is not blocked by any large items, and even more so do not squeeze your table into the gap between the cabinets. There should not be any overhanging structures a la "Sword of Damocles" above your head - this is sure sign illness or injury. All telephone and computer cables must be carefully tucked behind special panels - Feng Shui explains this by saying that all visible tubes and wires mean an outflow of money.

The light next to the desktop should not be harsh or muffled. It is good if the light flux is soft. This can be achieved with the help of general light, as well as a table lamp with an adjustable leg.

In the office

If you work in an office, then you do not always have the opportunity to choose your own workplace. But even in such a situation, you can take steps to reorganize it according to feng shui, for example, your desktop.

The table is an important element.
Most of the working time is spent at the table, so it should occupy the optimal position.
If you are not working alone, it is strongly discouraged to place tables face to face with colleagues. This provokes the “division” of the territory and frequent conflicts.
If the table is in a straight line between the windows and the entrance, by all means try to change seats or turn the table itself around. If you sit facing the wall, decide how to put it differently, or you will be blocked from new ideas, as well as the forces to implement them.
Do not sit or sit close with your face or back to the window.
The correct location of the window is on the side of the table. Don't stand too close to or with your back to the door. It is better to sit diagonally.

Would you like to secure the support and understanding of your superiors? Position your desk so that you are facing the boss, even if he is sitting across the wall or even on a different floor.
If you don’t want to lose your job, don’t sit in front of opening mirrored or polished surfaces of cabinets and doors.

If your work is related to money, you need to avoid mirrors behind, in front and on the sides of the table. If you still sit with your back to the window, and you can’t change seats in any way, you must definitely cover the window with blinds or curtains.
You can not sit under the air conditioner - it "blows out" thoughts from the head and dissipates energy, and from the point of view of health, this is not useful.
Stairs next to the desktop and even in sight should also be avoided.
If the office door opens into a long common corridor, do not sit facing it. In general, try to stay away from such corridors. It is important that there is no corridor behind you. This is especially true for leaders.

Create a positive attitude.
Place slogans, inspiring items, and sayings within sight. For example, putting in front of you a personal photo with a speech at a prestigious conference, you will activate your career luck. Place an image of a staircase or road going up in the northern sector of the workspace - and a brilliant career growth is guaranteed.
Unfortunately, some company policies prohibit the use of personal desk items. No problem! They can simply be placed in the top drawer of the desk. Every time you take out the things you need for work, you will see photos of loved ones or your favorite trinkets.
You can also spruce up your desktop background with distant landscapes or family photos.

Surround yourself with nice colors
What to do if the color scheme of the office does not suit you, and its atmosphere does not evoke a feeling of comfort? Use complementary color in your workplace to neutralize an overall office tone that doesn't match the style of the work being done. For example, if personal work requires energy and the office is decorated in blue, add a few splashes of orange. You can put an orange rug under your arm or hang a picture in orange tones.

According to Feng Shui, there are five fundamental elements: fire, water, wood, metal and earth. Each element has its own color.

✅FIRE - RED. This is the color for dynamic and successful people. However, an overabundance of this element can lead to exhaustion and anger, and you will always have a lot to do.
✅WATER - BLACK, DARK BLUE. The more symbols of this element in your work, the calmer, more creative and flexible you are. But be on the lookout: an excess of water can turn you into an easily hurt and indecisive person.
✅WOOD - GREEN AND BLUE. This is the color of slowness, caution, but at the same time, confident steps towards victory. Too much green and blue can make you look boring and jaundiced.
✅ METAL - SILVER, GOLD, WHITE AND GRAY. Metal colors attract wealth and success, and in large quantities- greed and despondency.
✅ EARTH - BROWN IN ALL SHADES, UP TO PALE BEIGE. It is the color of stability and confidence. However, its overabundance leads to stubbornness, self-criticism and weakness.

Personal beginning
There are office equipment that you use most often. Mostly most spend the day at the computer. How dull your workplace would look if it didn’t bear the imprint of individuality! A favorite picture — as a background for the monitor, a desktop calendar with joyful emoticons, a bouquet of flowers — all this sends a life-affirming message: "I am", and, of course, inspires work.

Cleanliness in the workplace
For some reason, people quickly get used to the mess. Cleaning begins only when clients or big bosses are going to visit the office. You may not pay any attention to it, but the dirt and clutter in the workplace negatively affects your efficiency and accumulates bad energy. For clarity to be present in business, clean your workplace after labor day and make sure that there is no dust on the surfaces of the table and in other places.

Desktop

As already mentioned, the first and most basic rule is that your personal desktop should always be in order. No blockages, dumps of unnecessary papers, old magazines, newspapers and other rubbish. Cleanliness and tidiness - Foundation stone success, according to the laws of feng shui. This, however, also applies to the office or the office as a whole.

Now more about zones. Here's what the experts advise.

• Career area is right in front of you. It should be empty, providing the convenience of working at the table and symbolizing the endless possibilities for your career growth.
• Area of ​​creativity located on right hand from you. Place there a folder with tasks that have already been completed. In no case do not put here unfinished projects or letters that are long overdue for answering. Give preference to photographs of children and favorite images that symbolize the creative process (for example, lyres)
• Health area is located on your left. There should be a folder with unfinished business or projects that you are currently working on or about to.
  The materials and documents that you use most often should be placed within reach - say, from your chair. So you can save a lot of time, energy and effort without running after them to cabinets and distant shelves. If it is not possible to ensure this condition, then at the beginning of each working day, evaluating the upcoming tasks, the necessary materials should be laid out on the table or nearby.
  A figurine of a crane, a bamboo shoot or a wooden bowl with nuts will save you from health problems here.

• Middle of the table this is his spiritual and physical center, the focus of the beneficial energy of Qi, must also be free. This can be easily achieved by moving the keyboard away from the monitor or by moving the laptop towards you.
  The uncluttered center of the table will provide you with not only convenience in work, but also a free flow of beneficial energy.
  Keep a crystal crystal next to the keyboard, and a positive charge will not pass you by.

• Beyond the Qi zone is isle of fame. Put here a portrait of Bill Gates, Madonna or any other person who personifies success for you. So you will take your step towards recognition.
• Help area and look for patronage in the lower right corner of the table. He associated with travel and support received from outside.

  Decorate it with pictures from travel brochures, postcards, or photos of friends living in other countries, and the opportunity for adventure could be right at your fingertips.

  Well, if you have a phone there.

• Field of knowledge located in the lower left corner of the table. Put something there that symbolizes knowledge - an owl figurine or a reference book, your favorite book.
• Relationship, marriage located in the upper right corner of the table. Put some fresh flowers in there. And it’s also good to keep photos of your favorite people, happy couples here.
  It's good to keep a couple of elephants there, facing to each other. You can also put a phone and a pen holder there.
• Wealth area- in the upper left corner of the table. Put there a pot with a money tree or a three-legged toad with a coin in its mouth - an amulet that attracts wealth.
  Use it to attract love, money, friends - whatever you need right now. Double your wealth with a mirror that will reflect the contents of the corner.

• A living plant or its imitation can be placed in the wealth zone.
• In the health zone, symbols of the earth are placed - pebbles or shells.
• There should be metal objects in the creative zone.

"Desktop" accessories

Try to quickly find desired document in a heap of papers randomly piled on the table. And at the same time be so contrived not to catch your finger on a cup of soot-like slurry that was once coffee, and a bouquet of daisies, which is on last week presented by Vasya from the neighboring department. Hop, you didn't succeed!

Not in vain Business Etiquette against...

• ... to breed paper blockages on the table. Excavations in the mountains of papers will take you a lot of time, nerves and as a result will make your life simply unbearable. Tidy up the table. Place documents that do not require an urgent decision in places specially designated for them - in folders or drawers of bedside tables;

• ... to grow flower beds on the table, and in particular to keep flowers that are not the first freshness. The bouquet can be one, and then small, and its place is on the bedside table near the table or on the rack.
  However, plants, both artificial and natural, can be planted on a windowsill, floor, wall or shelf. As soon as the worker, weary from overwork, keeps his eyes on the velvet greenery, he will feel a surge of fresh strength and Have a good mood;
• ..."open" a cosmetics store. Powder, lipstick, mascara should be in a cosmetic bag, a cosmetic bag - in a purse, a purse - in a closet;
• ... to keep cups, spoons and plates on the table, otherwise you will be given a reputation as a slut. The best office utensils are "invisible" utensils, which are hidden somewhere in the bowels of the bedside table.

Get rid of old unnecessary things
This is simply necessary in order to make the workplace comfortable. And it is important not only in terms of aesthetics, but also psychology and health. Throw away any accessories that you never use and that have been covered in dust for years. Transfer folders and documents that have not been claimed for a long time to the archive. Then you will not only free up space, but also gain the clarity of mind and wisdom necessary to achieve success in your career. In order for something new to appear in life, he needs to make room.

What should be on the table? In the background - a table lamp, a clock, a monitor (send the system unit under the table!). On the front is a keyboard, a mouse with a pad, a phone and stationery. Such an organization of space is called "everything at hand" and allows you to receive and process maximum information, while making a minimum of body movements.

Finance Zone

The southeastern part of the office is a zone that attracts cash. Therefore, this part of the cabinet should not be empty. You can activate it with home aquarium or decorative fountain.

The main thing is that these objects are life-giving sources of the necessary energy. There may be a fireplace in this place. One of the talismans can stand on the mantelpiece - for example, a toad that sits on money.

The cabinet's finance area must be kept clean at all times.

love zone

The office should also have a love zone. In the lives of many women, personal life and career occupy equal positions. Therefore, when a representative of the weaker sex equips her office, she must also remember about the love zone. The energy around the desktop should be organized in such a way that it in a positive way influenced personal life women.

The love zone should be located in the northwestern part of the room. In this place there may be joint photographs of spouses or lovers, the main thing is that these photographs are new. You can decorate this sector only with paired items. You can use two bowls - in one there will be water and rose petals, and in the other - stones.

Symbols and objects of feng shui

In the practice of Feng Shui, various talismans are used to attract good luck. The choice of “your” souvenir is a purely personal matter; no clear recommendations can be made about which particular talisman will be the most effective.

The figurine of the Indian elephant god Ganesha in Feng Shui symbolizes an adviser and companion who helps to successfully run a business and increase income. The best place for Ganesha on the desktop - the area of ​​\u200b\u200brelationships, best material- bronze.

Another popular feng shui talisman is a three-toed toad with a coin in its mouth, a symbol of financial well-being. It is better to put it in the upper left corner of the table - in the wealth area.

Chinese coins, which are also often used as a talisman in Feng Shui, are a universal symbol of the unity of the energies of yin and yang, as well as all the elements. They help to harmonize life in all its manifestations. Most often, coins are combined with a red cord, usually in the amount of three pieces.

As the strongest talisman, the pyramid is used not only in Feng Shui. True, only a pyramid can be effective, the faces of which are correlated according to the principle of the “golden section”. Such a figure is a kind of energy accumulator, and is able to increase performance.

As you can see, Feng Shui is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. And certainly not more difficult than mastering Chinese writing. Start by doing the simplest and most general recommendations and you will see how your life will be transformed.
It is not necessary to believe in it in order to change the interior of your workplace or housing. All the same, he will act. And there - who knows, maybe you will become another guru in the field of feng shui?
