Sofa/Desk Not Against a Wall

It’s like sitting in an open space—your back may feel somewhat exposed. Some people notice they feel less settled or more easily distracted.

What This Means

It can be harder to fully relax mentally. This subtle tension may contribute to fatigue over time.

In feng shui terms, having support behind you is associated with feeling more grounded and secure.

💡 Golden Tip

Consider positioning your sofa and desk with a solid wall behind them. If that’s not possible, a tall cabinet or bookshelf can serve as “artificial backing.”
