Feng Shui Tips For A Home Office
In case you are one of those who work from home, the ancient concept of Feng Shui can be a great tool for designing a home office.
Have a look at the below listed tips:
Location: Picking the right room is the first step to creating an office-like space. A cluttered-corner in the living room is certainly a bad idea. Also, make sure the office is away from the bedroom. The ideal place would be an area is exposed to the energies entering from the front door, say diagonally opposite to it. Add screens to define the space if there are distractions such as television.
Design: Position the desk in a way you could see the front door and the people entering through it. This is called the ‘command position’ that does not have your back facing doors, walls or windows. However, opt for a sturdy chair for solid support.
Productivity: Choose a theme that encourages positive thoughts, enhances concentration and boosts productivity. Candles, lamps and red hues can be absorbed with the theme as the fire element represents action and increases productivity.
Balance: While you have added the fire element, balance the space with other elements. Include a mirror or water features like a fountain or a fishbowl which boosts communication. To boost creativity, keep air-purifying plants (the wood element), inspirational artworks or landscape paintings at the centre of the space. Adorn the west corner with metallic elements or colours which symbolise money.
