In general, Feng Shui does not recommend facing a wall when sitting at the office desk. Such a position minimizes the flow of positive Feng Shui energy that should circulate around the owner of the desk. If, due to the lack of free space, there is no other choices, except for facing a wall, decorate it with a pleasant picture, such as a landscape. The picture will expand the space, and scatter the negative emotions created by a closed space.
