March has finally started, and many of us are hopeful that we are coming out of our winter ‘hibernation’. Some of us might also be transitioning back to the office soon. This may be a time when you might be asking what do I do about my home office?



Well, for one, don’t get rid of the workspace you’ve set up yet. It’s also a great time to review the space and what hasn’t worked for you. 

Some questions you may want to ask yourself before you decide what to do.

How does it feel energetically?

Do I need to be stimulated or soothed? 

Does this space have enough light? 

Or maybe you’re saying, “This place is a mess! I need to get organized!”. 

Knowing that the Year of the Water Tiger was going to be tremendously challenging from a Feng Shui perspective, I’ve moved my ‘office’ to a space with high positive energy points for the year. It also has a lot more natural light that is helping my mood and focus. 

It may have taken a little effort to move some furniture, rejig my routines and create a sensory space of wellness, but the payoff is fantastic. I’m happier, less fatigued, more focused and happily able to sit comfortably for longer periods as I design. 

Perhaps that is a lot more work that you would like for your office, but even some small changes can create a big impact for you. 

Check-in with yourself to see whether you’re okay with bright colours like aquamarine and bright pink to your office to provide positivity & inspiration. Adding red to your office may push you into aggression, though, so be mindful.

This year is a year to use yellow, which is the colour of the sun and the colour of happiness and joy. If bright yellow is not your style, consider using more earthy yellows such as goldenrod or ochre to calm down the space yet still bring that sense of joy. Other earthy colours in the form of orange can encourage abundance and support. 

Remember to use pops of colour rather than large swathes. That way, you can keep the space neutral, and it’s easy to change things up when you find a piece of decor no longer speaks to you.

As you’re organizing your space and clearing out clutter to prepare for the quickly moving energy of the Water Tiger year, consider bringing brown into your decor. As an earth colour, brown brings balance and stability. 

Bringing Feng Shui elements into Interior Design allows us to think about harmony in the design stage so that we can create the most harmonious space possible, sometimes with a few simple tweaks. Has this inspired you to take a quick look at your office space?
