    I have almost the exact same layout and had the desk facing the wall, entrance to my right and the living wall (plants) to my back, and the window with a view of the trees and shrubs to the left. Turning the desk by 180 changed everything. Now I face the plants on the wall, I can look out the window and so have better focus, more energy, I generally feel happier. So, now I know 😊

    @@Raggaren02 that is something here that is not mentioned, when you have your desk in the open or command position it creates a lot of cable management issues. no matter how nice it is to have feng shui. its just simply not practical in rooms like offices unless it is specifically designed for it. I dont want to harp on feng shui at all because it's very helpful, but when it comes to having wires run across the room I'm good. it creates multiple hazards and overall can look/feel awful if not done very thoughtfully. most cables for monitors/computers/speakers/etc aren't even close to long enough to support it either.

    I am intrigued to try this with my own desk and just wanted to share some thoughts about the cable management. If you install a cable tray under your desk and also a power extension block for powering the computer and all the peripherals, then you should be able to have just one cable leaving the desk. This should be manageable in terms of keeping the floor safe (securing it to the floor) and then you can have a cloth of some kind hanging off to cover the back of the desk, hiding the cables and removing the visual noise. Anyway maybe obvious but I thought I’d share

    @@AKS9 that is a fair point but you also must take in the quality of the cord. not all power stations are created equal, and on top of that its not best to power multiple things like PC, monitor, speakers, etc. all off one extension or outlet. when you start having higher powered things like studio monitors, a quality pc, high refresh rate monitors, etc. all plugged into one power strip you will run into problems. audio engineers can be the first people to show what i mean. its just simply not possible for a large portion of people, especially those who require working at computer for their jobs such as music production.

    I have always loved the look of desks in the middle of the room when they're in interior design photographs or editorials, and while I agree it feels like it has better energy, I find that it's also really impractical or unrealistic unless you have a very specific type of work. I feel like the only people who can ideally manage this kind of setup are those that work on simple portable device like a laptop or tablet or are doing mainly non-digital work. As someone who works from home and is in the tech industry, it's impossible to put my desk not facing a wall. I have more cables than you can imagine - three monitors setup, two desktop towers and desktop switcher. It cables and connectors frenzy. I'd love to see how to marry the necessities my kind of work with these kind of design principles one day, haven't found it yet.

    Try having the side of your desk against the wall and get a wider desk if possible. You could also try an L-shaped desk. There's really no need to run more than one or two cables (power and ethernet) to your desk though as you can extend them with a power strip and a 5-port switch. If you can't put them in the ground, consider getting a cable tunnel or a rug to fix the trip hazard.

    You can mount a power strip on the bottom of your desk and you can reduce the clutter with better cable management (hooks and casings). You only have to deal with the excess cable but it should be possible to loop them near where they're plugged in. You can further reduce the amount of excess length by just buying shorter cables or asking an electrician friend to make you one.

    WTF are you wiring up at your desk? You only need a single power cable unless you're powering like a stack of washing machines on your desk and other than that I can only think of ethernet and maybe a phone line. That's three cables. Also look at the scale of the room. If your room is ten times the size you don't need to place the desk smack in the middle of it because that would leave too much open space behind you and not give you much of a view from the window.

    Wires can easily be contained. Glare can be solved with window dressings. Desk against the wall is not ideal since you will not have space and flow for inspiration and ideas in front of you. But it all depends on budget and functions of the room. When placing a desk against a wall it is advised to hang something in front of you that inspires you. Note: not a book shelf, that is a crushing weight.

    So I have my desk with a window to my left and the door about 15 ft away from me to sort of my front right. But there's a kitchen behind me... It still feels very open and bright and it's a big sliding glass window so I can open it up and have my entire peripheral vision filled with trees and it's very nice. I feel like I naturally followed all these rules. Thanks for your video

    Wow i unintentionally have a very good set up based on my room design with my desk facing a wall, a window at my back, the sliding door off to my left and the door across the sliding door bt not on the same wall as the desk so i can see people coming into my room but they have to look around a corner to see me... Thank you for explaining how everything works

    I have a very similar setup, but my room is longer than it is wide. Therefore, I placed my desk about midway between the door and right wall, touching the bottom wall. This leaves me with a great use of space (I have a lot of hobbies) where I can do things behind me, my bookshelf is to the right with my windows right next to it, where beneath that, I have space for more projects.

    In addition to the Feng Shui ideas, the final position will be best for preventing reflections off your monitor, minimizing eye strain (because of no reflections and you don't have the bright window behind your darker monitor), and looking good on video calls (facing the window might look better, but then you're also likely to squint against the sunlight).

    I think you want to put your desk in the corner of the room so it can face the door but the cables aren't running across the floor. So in this example you'd put it at the bottom right of the room facing to the left and hopefully plugged into outlets along the bottom wall. After watching these videos I rotated my desk to face towards the door (leaving the side of the desk against the wall) and it's been a surprisingly large improvement!

    What about the exact same setup but with a bed as well as a desk in the room? Also I tried the desk where you suggested, but the back of the desk (usually hidden against a wall) has lots of cables for my monitor and laptop etc, so it was really unsightly when coming into the room, even though it was nice once I was sitting at the desk.

    How do you make all the cables for your PC, monitors, speakers etc not be a tangled snake across the ground to the outlet? How do you make the back of monitors and pc not ugly? I have always preferred desks in this command position, but the back of the desk is always the ugliest/cluttered look, how is this eliminated without using a bulky President desk with a solid back?

    Thanks, these are really helpful tips to organize my workspace better I have nearly the same layout for my desk that the back of my chair and table are not exposed directly to the front door However, as my room space is quite limited when someone opens the door, they can still see the side of my chair and part of my table behind the bookshelf. Would that be ok for a supported deskspace layout?

    Just hide the cables behind a cupboard or something, attached to the desk on the back. It will also give you additional desk space to put computer related stuff, for example a printer, speakers or a screen. Alternatively you can put a couch behind the desk. As for a fast and cheap solution a piece of cloth will do nicely (just attach a "curtain" to the desk and hide your cables behind it). Personally I made myself a kotatsu desk - a blanket is covering the whole desk and I added a second top board to the desk.

    Setup like this is great when you work on your computer, but if you're often writing or drawing on paper, you don't want to have the window at your right side when you're right handed and on the left when you're left handed, becuse the shadow of your hand will be falling on the paper. It's especially important when designing the room for children, because they spend on this kind of activity much more time, doing homeworks and everything.
