Feng Shui Colors for Home Office Decoration

One room which can benefit from the application of Feng Shui colors and design philosophy is the home office. Feng Shui can help make your home office a more productive and energizing space.

Feng Shui Colors for the Home Office

The home office needs to be both productive and stimulating. Use the right Feng Shui colors will create the right type of energy you need for your home office. The Feng Shui colors you need to create energy in the office differs from the Feng Shui colors you may use
 in a living room or a bedroom.

The Feng Shui colors in the home office need to encourage energy and movement, yet also create a stress-free and anxiety-free space. Based on Feng Shui philosophy there are paint and home furnishing colors that are more conducive to a home office than others.

There is also a personal element involved, and you will need to find the right hue or tone of a Feng Shui color for the home office that is pleasing to you. Working in a home office space with a color you don't like surrounding you will simply agitate you, not make you work faster to get your work done.

Feng Shui Color Palette

The Feng Shui Colors that suit your home office will also be determined by the type of work you do in your home office. Just as you dress for your job with the right shoes and clothes, dress your office based on the type of work you do.

Best Overall Color for the Home Office: Yellow

The best overall Feng Shui color for the home office is a shade of yellow. Yellow is a color which promotes clarity of thought, as well as self-esteem. Yellow is also a color of centering. Centering is one way to focus inward and perform the tasks at hand.

Choose a shade of yellow which you like. Add purple or red accents for contrast.

Best Color in the Home Office for Sales: Red

Home office workers involved in any type of sales will do well with an element of red in their home office. Painting a room with four red walls may create too much aggression, but there are ways to make red a dominant Feng Shui color without going overboard.

Paint one wall red, but not the wall directly in front of your desk. Instead, select a wall to your side, that is in your peripheral vision.

The application of Feng Shui can be helpful, even central, to many. My 'home office' is a balance of light to dark purples, with medium to rich reds, and accents in earth tones. The doublewide, louvered windows are white. Interestingly, when I put the office together, I wasn't consciously thinking Feng Shui. Do you think it can be intuitive? What colors, shades, and hues are in your office, Pam?

I'd never considered the impact of colors on such things as sales and also the overall color that would work best in most offices. Intriguing info. I do know that if I am in a kitchen with lots of red in it, I feel hungrier. Definitely perks up my appetite :) So maybe red would be excellent for a restaurant supply house or office of a chef :)
