This article provides a review of published, counseling‐relevant literature on the physical environment, with a focus on physical elements that may enhance or detract from the counseling process. Specifically, it describes environmental variables that are relevant to counseling, providing examples of their practical importance, and in several cases describes possible application to counseling settings. Finally, this article identifies research implications and proposes a 3‐part future research agenda.
