Access to daylight also has an effect on our
perception of colour and the flow of Chi. Maximise
what daylight you have by keeping windows
clean and clear. Consider daylight simulating
bulbs for when the sun goes down or if your
home office has no natural light source.
Styles
Just like colours, design styles can portray different
energy characteristics and affect the personality
of your home office. For example:
• Glass and chrome provide focus and attention
to detail.
• Solid woods are practical and down to earth,
as are square shapes and sharp corners.
• Rounded shapes allow the Chi to flow
throughout the room and so your thoughts will
also flow.
• A mixture of styles will provide a mix of energies
and therefore confuse your thought processes.
Unless your home office is large enough to have
designated areas for different types of work,
it is best to stick to one style throughout
the room.
Clutter
Clutter has a number of negatives: it’s likely that
things will get mislaid or forgotten, it chokes up
your office and detracts you from your objectives,
it attracts dust and it stops Chi from flowing,
keeping it stagnant. If your room’s Chi is stagnant,
your energy will become stagnant. Altogether
clutter can drain the life out of your finances,
career or business. Here are some tips to help
you stay clutter free:
• Be realistic about how much storage you need
and keep it all in one area of the room.
• Choose a storage system that can be closed:
everything on view becomes distracting.
• Once you have a storage system, use it.
• Empty rubbish bins and shred unwanted
documents regularly.
• If you need a lot of storage space use a separate
area, such as a garage or loft, for documents
you don’t need frequently.
