The Best Feng Shui Colors to Decorate Your Office Space

Fitzpatrick Painting & Construction • Nov 09, 2018

Think about the last time you walked into a business new to you. Did you get a feeling from the place right away without speaking to anyone? Was there something about the atmosphere or decor that made you feel comfortable?

Color has a surprising effect on our minds and our moods. It plays a huge role in setting the tone of a professional space just as much as it does your own home. This becomes especially true when you combine the two.

Learning what feng shui colors produce which mood can help boost your productivity at work or calm you down at home. Check out the helpful breakdown of the best colors to decorate your home office and other spaces.

The Meaning of Feng Shui Colors in Office Space Decor

Improve your home office or transform your commercial workspace with a fresh coat of paint. Here are the feng shui meanings of popular paint colors for your home or office:

Red

Red is the strongest of the feng shui colors and symbolizes fire. Red relates to romance, courage, and passion in Western cultures. In China, red symbolizes happiness and luck while in India they often associate it with marriage.

Choosing a bright red color for your office space decor brings a feeling of energy and excitement. It can also represent love. Keep in mind that a red room causes people to feel hungrier too!

Yellow

In feng shui, yellow represents cheer, happiness, and sunlight. It works well to brighten up any space.

Yellow can also create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere depending on the shade. From a pale butter color to bright neon yellow, this color offers many options even in the same space.

Blue

A favored feng shui color, blue symbolizes water. It creates feelings of peace, tranquility, and calm. If you find yourself stressing while working, blue can help keep your mood even.

You should use blue in specific feng shui bagua spaces in your home: the north for career, southeast for money, and east for health.

Green

Green symbolizes wood and nature in feng shui. It represents regeneration, fresh energy, growth, and renewal. Since we find much green in nature, it can bring feelings of the outdoors inside.

Use green paint to balance both mind and mood. It nourishes and heals by simulating the healing feng shui vibrations found in nature. Add multiple tones and shades of green for maximum effect.

Orange

A great alternative to red, orange symbolizes openness and optimism. Known as the “social” feng shui color, orange promotes conversation and warm feelings. It is one of the best colors for productivity.

Grey

Grey symbolizes metal in feng shui and creates a sense of neutrality, sophistication, and detachment. It often appears in modern, upscale office space decor. Use it on the north (career), northwest (helpful people), and west (creativity) walls of your space.

White

In feng shui colors, white represents innocence, purity, and new beginnings. It contains all other colors. White can make space feel clean and open or harsh and overbearing depending on how you use it.

Purple

Purple is a high-vibration feng shui color and most masters recommend using it in moderation. Include purple in decor items, but avoid using it to paint walls other than in meditation or healing spaces.
