Summer has a way of inviting us back to ourselves. The slower pace, the longer days, the warmth—it’s all asking us to pause, reset, and remember what really matters.
For many of us, one area often overlooked during this seasonal shift is our workspace. Whether it’s a home office, a desk in the corner of your bedroom, or the spot you return to each day at your 9–5, your office is one of the most energetically influential spaces in your life.
And yet, it’s also one of the most cluttered, stagnant, and stress-inducing.
This summer, it’s time to reimagine your office not just as a place where work gets done, but as a space that reflects your creativity, values, and vision.
Here are some of the key practices and reflections to help guide your summer office reset:
Clear the clutter physically and energetically
Before you introduce anything new, remove what no longer serves. This could be physical clutter like piles of papers, dusty decor, or half-used office supplies. Or it could be energetic clutter—things that remind you of stress, failure, or disorganization. Start by clearing off your entire desk, wiping it clean, and only putting back the essentials. This small reset can make a big difference.
Reclaim your position of power
Where your desk is placed matters more than most people realize. In Feng Shui, the command position puts you in control. Ideally, you want your desk facing the door, (not directly in line with it) with a solid wall behind you. This creates a feeling of support and ease—two essential ingredients for clear thinking and inspired action. Avoid facing a wall or sitting with your back to the door, both of which can unconsciously invite anxiety or a sense of powerlessness.
Use color with intention
Colors influence mood, motivation, and mental clarity. This summer, consider layering in hues that align with how you want to feel at work:
- Reds & purples for action and ambition
- Yellows & oranges for creativity and connection
- Blues & greens for calm and renewal
- Golds & metallics for vision, success, and refinement
You don’t need to repaint the walls. Just add a candle, a piece of art, or an object that subtly shifts the energy.
Surround yourself with reminders of your creativity
Many women lose touch with their creative essence. Not because they aren’t creative, but because the pace of life has pulled them away from it. Your office can serve as a portal back to that part of you. Display a past accomplishment you’re proud of. Hang up an old piece of art you created. Frame a note from a client or friend that lit you up. Let your space reflect your story—both where you’ve been and where you’re headed.
Invite fresh air, fresh light, and fresh perspective
Open a window. Let the light in. Breathe new life into your space and into your day. Even five minutes of resetting the air or shifting the lighting can dramatically improve your energy and focus.
This summer, your office can become more than just a place to check things off a list. It can become a space that nourishes your ideas, your purpose, and your peace. You don’t need a full redesign. Sometimes all it takes is a few thoughtful shifts to feel more aligned, more focused, and more like yourself again.
Because when your space supports you, everything flows better.
