According to Vastu, sitting in the right direction can improve focus and decision-making abilities. North or East-facing desks are generally advised, as these directions are associated with career growth, knowledge, and good energy flow. For creative work, facing East can foster inspiration, while North helps with logical tasks and financial growth.

A rectangular or square-shaped desk is ideal as it signifies stability and structure. A balanced desk—not too big or too small—reflects a clear mind and promotes efficient work patterns. Avoid irregular-shaped desks, as they can lead to confusion and disorganization.

Keeping specific items in designated positions according to Vastu can impact your focus and productivity:

• Laptop/Computer: Place your laptop or computer in the South-East corner, considered the ‘Agni’ (fire) corner in Vastu, which promotes action and success.
• Books and Files: Keep work-related books or files on the left side of the desk. This side is considered the zone of memory and past, allowing you to refer to these materials when needed.
• Plant and Water: Adding a small indoor plant on the North or East side of the desk can purify the energy around you and promote calmness. If you have a small water element, like a water bottle, place it in the North-East zone for positive flow.

Clutter-free workspaces are a foundation of Vastu Shastra, as a clear desk invites clear thinking. Regularly clean and organize your desk to prevent the accumulation of unnecessary items that could block the flow of energy.

Personal touches are essential to make your desk feel motivating and comfortable. Use a small picture frame with a family photo or inspirational quote and place it on the North-East side of your desk. Avoid placing items that signify conflict, stress, or negative emotions.

Light is an essential part of any Vastu-aligned desk. If possible, let natural light flow in from a nearby window, particularly from the East. Alternatively, use a soft desk lamp to create a warm and welcoming workspace. Avoid harsh lighting that strains the eyes and creates discomfort.
