Colors
According to feng shui philosophy, the colors of your office play a large part in your energy levels and business goals. Five different colors are associated with specific elements and have varying effects on the way you work. Wood colors are best for new projects, teamwork, investment growth, and overall career health. In contrast, blue colors are bad for offices that face south. Blue colors can dampen fire energy and should be avoided in all areas of the office.
Gray is a neutral color that sits between black and white. It has metal element qualities and is associated with prosperity and growth. A lighter gray is best for offices with a lot of activity, while a darker gray with brown undertones brings calm and steady energy. Gray also symbolizes helpful people and is good for offices that focus on relationships and education. In addition to blue and green, gray and brown are also good choices for office environments.
Desk placement
A few Feng shui tips for the office are to face the front door, preferably facing it. You’ll feel more motivated to work from home if you face the door. It’s also best to face the door if you have a shared office space. If you have your own office, you can place your desk opposite the main entrance. But you can still use a mirror if you don’t have one.
Another important rule of office feng shui is to avoid placing your desk directly facing a wall. This can interfere with your ability to focus on a single task. To improve your focus and your ability to remember things, try to group work by category. In addition, you should place your office desk diagonally opposite the door. Finally, avoid facing the window. While home office windows are great, you should never place your desk directly in front of a window.
