Energise Your Home Office With Feng Shui!

Become Colour Wise!

Colours play a huge role in Feng Shui. You can opt for hues like grey, green, yellow and orange to create a productive home office. Whatever colour you use, don’t forget to waterproof before painting.

Place Your Desk in 'Command Position'

The first thing that catches your attention when you open the door sets the tone for the entire home. An entrance way with proper Feng Shui feels welcoming, therefore the front door should be clean and free of obstacles like packages or shoes. Place a striking piece of art, object or furniture that is pleasing to the eye.

Simply put, the ‘command position’ is the position when sitting at your desk that puts you most in command of both your area and your work. This position stems from a need to have visible control over your surroundings.

The cardinal rule of Feng Shui is to have no clutter in the living space. It is the logical step to create efficiency and bring peace of mind. It is important to get rid of old things to find room for new things in life.If your work needs creativity, it would be great to have a view of the door from the chair, a solid wall behind you and a lovely view out of a window. If your present room does not have this set-up, you should consider moving your desk to another room. You could place a striking mirror in your room so that you are able to see the door from your desk.

It is important to face the entrance from where you are working to feel the most in control and confident in your area even if you use your lap or a counter and not a desk.

Highlight Your South Wall

Since the South area is the 'fame' area of Feng Shui, this is where you should highlight all of your personal and professional accolades and accomplishments.

Pay Attention to Your Southeast Corner

The southeast point of both your desk and your room should have items that are in balance with the southeast energies. You can place a small table top water fountain or a pretty potted flower close to a small fish tank to maximise the energy in the southeast area of the living space.

If you wish to give your work life a boost, you should look at what is going on in your home office and make some positive shifts so that it supports your intentions.

Furniture Arrangement According To Vaastu!

Furniture can play a huge role in making your home a relaxing sanctuary. Picking the right pieces that are Vaastu-friendly can help bring happiness and positivity in the house. Correct selection and placement of furniture is key to balance the energies of the home.

According to Vaastu, it is advised that you keep all the heavy furniture along southern and western walls. It is also important to keep some space between walls and furniture. Make sure you keep the northern direction of the home free from any heavy furniture.

Furniture made from cedar, sal, sheesham, sagawan, neem wood or Ashoka should be chosen as these are safe from termites and ensure reduced maintenance cost. Wooden furniture is considered good for human health and the environment as wood doesn't emit harmful gases.

Colours recommended for the furniture placed in the south are brown, beige and earthy shades. Metallic shades and navy blue can be considered for the west. Light furniture should be placed in the North - these can be in pastel shades of blue and green while furniture in the eastern part of house can be a combination of lime yellow, peach and pastel orange.

If you wish to repaint your existing furniture, don’t forget to use a high-quality wood primer to increase its durability and ensure longevity.

It is also important to consider the height, width and depth of chairs, sofa or couches while arranging it in the house. Uneven furniture not only creates visual chaos but also negatively impacts the energies of the home. Furniture seats and cushions should be firm so that your body is correctly-supported and there is no unnecessary strain on the muscles.

Abstract designs or patterns on the upholstery is not advised as per Vaastu. However, you can choose flowers, stripes, leaves and similar motifs for the upholstery.

It is best to avoid irregular shapes such as triangle and oval. Square and rectangle are ideal as these are comforting for the eyes while asymmetrical shapes can be disturbing at a subconscious level. Hope you find this article helpful.
