Feng shui is especially important for a home office because unlike a corporate space, you have complete control over it’s design. There isn’t just one way to feng shui an office; it depends on the person, their professional goals, and what the room is used for. According to feng shui expert Ashley Cantley, “Feng shui can increase business by drawing in more clients, creating happier employees, and generating more wealth.” A feng shui office can be key to a highly productive day, a more successful career, and ultimately, a better life. Here are seven expert tips for creating a feng shui home office. But not all office layouts allow for the ideal position of the desk. If you have no choice but to have your back facing the door, Cantley suggests hanging a mirror in front of your workspace so you can see who is entering and exiting the door. “Ideally, your back will be facing a wall (not a window or other furniture like a bookcase),” she says. Cantley says a wood desk is ideal because it’s a natural material that is also sturdy. The Morris Writing Desk ($499; crateandbarrel.com) is a beautiful and functional feng shui choice. It features two drawers for storage so the surface can stay neat with any clutter tucked away. In addition to chocolate brown, it’s also available in gray, which may be a better color for those who need to stimulate creativity or work in creative fields. According to Cantley, “White or pastels help stimulate creativity, green represents growth, black represents the water element and is associated with money, while purple represents clarity. If you feel stressed, go with earth tones.” Cantley also recommends any plant that has a rounded leaf. A succulent set ($58; shopterrain.com) is very feng shui and makes an ideal desk accessory. “Flowering plants (purple and red) are also good choices,” she says. An orchid fits the bill here, too. An Arched Floor Lamp ($280; wayfair.com) can help reduce stress because the shade is an earth tone. Additionally, the texture of the material provides a soft glow.
