Feng Shui Home Office
If working from home is your thing, then what you need is a highly effective feng shui home office. The location of your home office is a key factor in determining your success and the success of your business. There are several places where an office should not be located, they include in the basement, in the center of the home, and right by the bathroom. The ‘qi’ or energy can best be optimized for the office if it is located close to the entrance, towards the front of the house. It is also important to do work in a separate room of the house, therefore it is not a good idea to have the office inside of your bedroom or any other room.
The desk is the most important piece of furniture in a feng shui home office. The desk should be in a location that is diagonal from the entrance with the back to the wall. There are many unfavorable positions for the desk to be in, avoid placing it in the center of the room or directly in line with the door. The desk should not face the wall or windows, and having your back towards the door should also be avoided.
The ceiling is another feature of a feng shui home office that should not be overlooked. Low ceilings and slanted ceilings are said to prevent you from reaching the top. If this is the case with your home office, there are feng shui remedies that can be used to help alleviate the problem. If there are no windows in your home office, applying bright lights or putting up pictures of the outdoors is meant to be a good cure. Plants are a great addition to any office so put a lucky bamboo plant or a money plant tree on your desk to attract wealth and prosperity.
The most important areas of a feng shui home office are the wealth and career areas. With a map bagua, locate the exact areas within the room. Then use the appropriate colors and decor to activate the ‘qi’ and help promote productivity. Your office needs to be neat and organized so keep it clutter free and sort through everything on a regular basis.
