Applied in a home office environment, Vastu principles will not only improve productivity but also fuel creativity and brainstorming. Here are some essential Vastu tips regarding making a home office more positive and productive and if you aren't already following them, then you should do so now.

1. Direction to the Office

A home office is best placed facing west, north, or northeast.Northeast direction is said to be ideal because it enhances clarity of thought and concentration. The western zone contributes to stability and professional growth. You should definitely avoid placing your working area in the southwest, as it is said to attract delays and obstacles.

2. Direction of Positioning the Work Desk

Position your work desk in a direction facing north or east. North and east have been associated with success and focus, and is said to assist in intellectual development. Ensure there's a wall or something else that supports the desk and that your desk isn't unstable. Never position the desk under an angled wall as it may cause pressure and stress.

3. Furniture Selection

For your home office, the use of sturdy, high-quality wooden furniture will attract grounded energy. Furniture with rounded edges and smooth contours is a must. Sharp-edged or irregularly shaped furniture will disrupt the flow of positive energy. You should always have a chair with a high back for support and comfort and placed ideally in the south or west of the room.

4. Light

The room should be well illuminated with natural light from the north or east. Low light reduces concentration and promotes lethargy. If natural lighting is not possible, warm artificial illumination without shadows and strains can serve as supplements.

5. Decor and Colour

Incorporate a warm earthy tone to help stabilise and calm the atmosphere, using shades of brown, green, and blue. Do not fill the desk with too much clutter. You can include inspiring and creative decoration, such as plants or motivational artwork on the walls.
