An office at Home- Vastu Guidelines

Many home based professionals and entrepreneurs find that working at home helps them to be more productive. With lesser time to spend on commuting, there is more time available to work.

Home offices are a relatively new trend where person set up a working area in a corner of the bed room, on the dining room table, corner of passage or in the guest bed room. Some of these locations are nice places for a home office but others are not so good from the vaastu point of view. Here are some of the guidelines to keep in mind for using your home as a workspace:

If you are a professional, it is best to have a space that is used only for that purpose in order to keep work and home energies as separate as possible.

The north area of your home office is a zone of your career or business. Place an image of a goal or dream that you wish to achieve in near future.

Colours, pictures and idols placed in the home office should make you happy, appreciated and creative. 

The south east area of the home office represents fire element and is the best place to keep computer, lights or lamp. Do not keep water feature like fountain at the south east corner.

Position your desk or working table in such a way that you face eat or north while working.

A clutter-free environment at the home office will help you to avoid any procrastination. You will be surprised how much better, more enthusiastic and energetic you will feel at work.

The following areas are not suitable for a home office:

Brahmasthan (centre of the home). According to vaastu shastra, this should be kept empty and without any obstacles. Working at the centre of the house brings too much pressure in personal and professional life.

According to vaastu, north east direction is also kept more open and weighless. Home office at north east brings more responsibilities and poor output.

Office desk sharing a wall with a toilet on the other side is not a good location.

A home office below the staircase of a duplex makes it difficult to concentrate.
