Vintage Home Office Inspiration
The vintage beauty of old world carved barn doors, the romance and charm of rustic wood cabinets with subtle nuances of color 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 antique brass-studded doors across from the office desk.
The old rustic doors salvaged from the old Indian Havelis are repurposed into office desks and coffee tables, bringing with them the eclectic bohemian vibe. Antique natural wood arches create spectacular wall mirrors or floor mirrors that add a touch of drama and make a room look twice as big. If the office is mainly beige, you can take dark wooden furniture for a contrast. A turquoise or navy sideboard makes the perfect storage trunk or media console for a flat-screen TV. The multicolored tribal damchiya and the mirrors that reflect negative energy serve as an entrance table, a reminder of your trips 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 the close steps of essential change. The study office is today an essential part of our homes. With the technology all around us, we need to be aware of the electromagnetic charge emanating from televisions and computers and how it interacts with our aura. Consoles made of natural old wood with grounding iron and brass studs can be used as print stations and serve to discharge harmful ions, grounding them through the metal and wood.
Stress management at home, when all your activities are limited to being indoors, your sacred space has an 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 pitcher filled with water, and acknowledge the presence of the Supreme Being by lighting a candle and scent. A quiet repetition of mantras calms the mind and focuses your daily routine. Energize your aura and bring vibrations of happiness, health and prosperity into your life.
