Color Ideas to Help You Organize Your Home Office


Color Tips for Decluttering and Organizing




Colors can increase stamina, encourage a sense of calm or productivity, and help you maintain a consistent work routine.

This post has been updated 11/28/2021

Do you plan to convert a spare bedroom into a home office, or already have one you’re trying to freshen up? 

A dedicated office space is often a tax write-off, and the accessibility of walking from one room to the next in your home, condo, or apartment makes the commute to work a dream.

I offer colorful yet inexpensive ideas to make your workplace more user-friendly and efficient.

Paint walls a neutral color such as soft white, off-white, or cream. These colors give even a tiny room a feeling of spaciousness and ease. 

If you get distracted easily, you may need to paint an accent wall in a grounding colors including brown, rust, or other earthy tones of soil, forest, and the countryside.

Increase efficiency by using colors that reflect and complement the energy of the activities conducted in them. 

Mental clarity and creativity, for example, are amplified by taking in the color energy of bright yellow. Place a sheet of yellow paper, card, or vase filled with daisies within your range of vision, and discover how quickly your lethargy decreases and your motivation to focus increases.

Keep in mind, that too much of a bold color like sunny yellow, can feel overpowering. When one color monopolizes a home office color scheme, it eventually makes even the liveliest space feel chaotic.

If you want to increase your energy, select accessories and accents in upbeat shades of red, orange, or hot pink. 

For improved physical dexterity and help with hands-on work, let reds and oranges support you as you gain agility and speed to move ahead. 

Perhaps you’d rather save red to alert you to emergency items. Scoring project files with a bold red pen check or dot captures your attention and reminds you of its importance.

If your workspace colors are too stimulating, calm them down by placing a book or candle on your desk in cool colors including pale peach, lavender, light green, or baby blue.


Color Tips and Ideas to Declutter and Organize






To streamline things in your office, get rid of junk.  Clear out clutter and curb overactive thought processes by wearing clothing in pleasing shades of blue. 

Display a picture that contains turquoise, teal, or sea blue water. Pause to visualize yourself beside a lovely lake, stream, the ocean, or a bay. 

Imagine water energy helping you proceed with thoughtful mindfulness. Then, start cleaning one corner of your office. Reduce, discard, and donate. When that area is de-cluttered, start on the next and so forth.

Another creative color idea is to take a work break. Get up from your desk, and go for a 5 minute walk outside. Gaze at the blue sky.  

Being in nature enhances your sense of tranquility, and allows you to refresh mind and body. This is a free way to relax and helps you resume work with a fresh perspective.

Make a plan to color code hard copies of files, documents, and spreadsheets. You’ll be well on the way to an organized work environment. 

Want to keep better track of your small business inventory, contacts, and finances?

An excellent color for financial matters is green. Green is the primary Feng Shui color that represents abundance and wealth. Select it if it resonates with you, and help your business to thrive.




Keep it simple and place unpaid invoices and expenditures in a file that has a red ball point pen dot or red sticker on the outside. 

Use green folders for income, bank records, and inventory. Color-coded folders makes it easy to put the appropriate papers in the right file.

Another great way to bring green into your office is with plants that have lush green foliage. This also helps to purify the air. Indoor plants that have good “chi” or life force include bamboo palm, rubber plant, English ivy, Ficus, Boston fern, and peace lily.

Work spaces used by bloggers, writers, authors, chefs, and artists are enhanced, when they include a wide palette of colors. Variety encourages a sense of playfulness, ingenuity, and originality.

On the other hand. restful expanses of color can relax you. Painting a wall blue or hanging blue curtains in your home office, can help with communication. 

If your field of expertise is public relations or advertising and you want more clients to flock to your office, display blue colored books, calendars, and other blue pieces in the décor. Blue is also a good color for healing; use it on folders and papers that identify items like medical expense receipts. See Tips to Help You Use Cool Colors to Relax for additional ideas.

When you decorate with color, make sure to align with your own personality. Colors are subjective and work to improve mood at the cellular level.

If you’re not sure what to choose, experiment to see whether you work more effectively in an energizing or quiet colored office environment.

Have fun with colors that enable your small business to prosper. Get savvy about color, and pick the best colors for an eye-pleasing work environment. 

It’s simple and makes good business sense to learn which colors put new life into your business and you.

Use Crown Chakra Energy to Integrate Mind Body Spirit



OM Universal Sound of Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra's sound is Om


 


The seventh chakra, or Sahaswara, is the chakra of consciousness, pure awareness, and bliss. It is the source of Divine connection. Its vibrations provide powerful energy to sustain us and help us rise above earthly concerns.

Post updated 4/1/2024

Chakra means "wheels" in Sanskrit, and describes areas of energy running along our spine. Ancient Hindus formulated that the human body has seven major energy wheels, each a different color and spinning in a clockwise direction. 

The crown chakra is located in our body's uppermost location, at the top of the head or slightly above it. When this center is open and balanced, it makes all the chakras work together for our greatest good. 


Crown Chakra and Purple Color Energy at Colors 4 Healtht

The Crown Chakra and Om, the Sound of The Seventh Chakra 


The colors most often associated with this chakra are dark purple/violet and white/clear. 

Since ancient times, purple has been associated with the color of the clergy, nobles, and the rich. Those who are attracted to purple may have an artistic or dramatic flair. Some wear it, because they intuitively sense it clears confusion and calms hyperactivity. 


Purple helps others feel energized. Dressing in this color can speed up natural healing energy for mind, body, and spirit. 



Envision purple to encourage your thoughts to lift above ego to a higher plane, a higher consciousness. 



Gaze at objects like lavender or other purple flowers, eat red grapes, red cabbage, or eggplant, or don an amethyst bracelet, necklace, or ring. Enjoy this vibrant color and let it remind you how interconnected you are to everything on our planet.


If the color white resonates with you, visualize white light surrounding you or a loved one. Imagine its energy cleansing, healing, protecting, and raising consciousness. See the planet, a pet, or an acquaintance being helped this way. 


Drape a white cloth around you or surround yourself with white pillows or flowers, symbols of purity and devotion. Let white help motivate you to be of service to others. 



Place a white crystal called selenite in your home or hold a selenite wand in front of your body for its many rejuvenating and mystical properties.



The crown chakra works in a subtle manner. Meditation or other mindfulness practices including color energy visualizations and affirmation recitation enhance this chakras effectiveness. 

Original Crown Chakra

 Affirmations by Nancy 

Andres



"I Tap into the Universal Source of Love Each Day."



"I Radiate Joy, and my Thoughts and Actions are Insightful and Loving."



"My Chakras are Aligned and Manifest Abundant Energy to Live Joyfully."




************

Healing arts including 
acupuncture, tai chi, massage, and yoga can help stabilize all the chakras by purifying the lower energies and guiding the flow of energy upwards. 


Self-care habits create harmony on the physical, mental, and spiritual level. Allow chakra work to be part of your self-awareness routine.




Remember the flow of "chi " through all our chakras influences health and improves wellbeing. The crown chakra’s job is to integrate all the chakras and their respective qualities.  



The seventh chakra helps us deal with limited thinking and transports us beyond our idea of things to our wise inner core. 


When we study the chakras and witness ourselves as we learn something new, we get closer to our true self, the Divine in us. 


The crown chakra corresponds to the pituitary gland, the “master gland” of the endocrine system. Others believe the 7th chakra controls the pineal gland. This gland contains pigments similar to those found in the eyes, and regulates the action of light on our body. The seventh chakra helps us look inward to infuse spiritual light into our being.

I'd love to know if you believe in "chakra power." For me, getting in touch with my chakras makes me feel happy, peaceful, and alive. 

Do you like to wear purple or white and how does that make you feel? Do you wear one or both of these colors often and for what reasons?
