Vintage home office inspiration
The vintage beauty of old world carved barn doors, the romance and charm of rustic wood cabinets with subtle color nuances that shine through, a vintage home office looks and feels classic. Look at these intricately detailed, hand-carved, paisley-carved reclaimed wood floral cabinets and you’ll feel the flowing feminine energy or earthy masculine energy in the brass-studded antique doors across from the office desk.
Old rustic doors salvaged from ancient Indian Havelis are repurposed into office desks and coffee tables, bringing with them the eclectic bohemian vibe. Natural wood antique arches create spectacular wall mirrors or floor mirrors that add a dramatic touch and make the room look twice as big. If the office is mostly beige, you can take dark wood furniture for a contrast. A turquoise or navy sideboard is the perfect storage chest or media console for a flat screen TV. The multicolored tribal damchiya and mirrors that reflect negative energy serve as an entrance table, a souvenir of your travels to distant countries and different cultures.
Our universe provides us with the tools to guide us through the most difficult situations and we have to be willing to adapt to ever-changing times and calamities. Necessity is the mother of invention, and evolution comes in close steps of essential change. The study office is today an essential part of our homes. With the technology that surrounds us, we must be aware of the electromagnetic charge that emanates from televisions and computers and how it interacts with our aura. Natural old wood consoles with grounding iron and brass studs can be used as printing stations and serve to discharge harmful ions, grounding them through metal and wood.
Managing Stress at Home When all your activities are limited to being indoors, your sacred space takes on added importance. Use the northeast corner of the room to create a natural altar with the 5 elements of sun, air, water, earth, and ether. Use the top shelf of an antique bookcase for your favorite flower pot, Sri Yantra crystals or mala beads, a copper jug filled with water, and acknowledge the presence of the Supreme Being by lighting a candle and essence. A quiet repetition of mantras calms the mind and brings focus to your daily routine. Energize your aura and bring vibrations of happiness, health and prosperity into your life.
