Try playing with these ideas to bring more awareness to your Mountains Workspace.

Some Environments are better for Mountains than others, but considering what’s available to you in the space around you can go a long way. Take what feels fun and expansive and leave the rest. These ideas are to get you thinking about your Environment in a more expansive way.

Find the right angle

Identify which area in your space gives you the widest view of the entire space, and build your room around that location. Place your desk, or work table, or other furniture of equal importance based on your work in the spot that gives you the best view of the space around you.

Play with head room

Are there upper cabinets? A tall credenza? Raised ceilings are great for Mountains People. A cool light fixture or fun wallpaper can play up the head room in a space to make the space seem taller or bigger. What’s going on in the headspace of the room and how might you bring interest here? If you can’t change elevations at work or climb to another floor, consider how you can thoughtfully make use of the head room in your environment.

Bring in mountain visuals to encourage higher thoughts

Consider hanging art with expansive and elevated phrases you find to be uplifting or literal mountain artwork. How can you create a space that encourages you to leave the drama behind?

If there’s an elevated option, take it

Whether that means you take the upstairs unit, or upgrade features to select the more luxurious option, when the opportunity to take it to another level comes up — take it. If you’re ever stuck, ask yourself how you could take it up a notch, elevate things, or bring it to a whole other level.

Seek spacious layouts

Ensure your workspace has good flow, and all furniture placement is well aligned for good chi and energetic movement throughout the space. Furniture and objects should not be bumping into each other like the Kitchen, but spacious with ample breathing room. It’s great if there are “areas” you can go to to get away.

Create the getaway experience

How can you bring in elements to your space that create a sense of oasis, luxury, and far-away paradise — whatever your paradise is. Consider soft textures, dim lighting, relaxing colour palettes, and a minimal or muted aesthetic so only the essentials take up space. How might you bring these sensations into your everyday workspace?
