Best direction
The north-east, east, north and west are good for a study room. The north-east is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of knowledge, and the east brings fresh morning energy.
Study table placement
- Sit facing east or north while studying.
- Keep the table away from the wall a little, rather than pushed tightly against it.
- Avoid sitting with your back to the door; you should see the door.
- Avoid sitting directly under a beam.
Bookshelves and storage
- Bookshelves on the south or west wall.
- Avoid open shelves directly above the study table.
- Keep books neatly arranged; clutter disturbs concentration.
Colours and light
Light green, light blue, cream and white improve focus and calm. Use bright, natural light from the east or north, with a table lamp in the south-east corner of the desk.
Helpful touches
- A picture of Goddess Saraswati or a rising sun.
- A globe in the north-east of the room for curiosity and wider horizons.
- A small plant on the north-east of the desk.
