What is the best room position for a bow-front desk — facing the door, facing the window, or facing the wall?

Positioning the bow-front desk to face the entry door is the standard specification for executive and client-facing private offices, and it's the approach we recommend at OfficeFurniture2go.com. This placement gives the occupant full command of the room — visitors enter and immediately see the desk occupant, and the bow-front's welcoming curve is presented as the architectural focal point of the room. A credenza or hutch is positioned behind the occupant against the back wall. This configuration maximizes both the functional and psychological advantages of the bow-front design. Avoid window-facing positions unless blackout treatments are available — backlighting creates uncomfortable meeting dynamics. Call 1-800-460-0858 to discuss room layout for your specific office.
