All excellent points for a home office.

I would like to elaborate on a few:
In addition to making you feel uneasy, having your back to the door will diminish your feelings of self-worth. Your chair and desk should be in the “commanding position” of the room–as far back from the the door as possible, while still being able to see it.

Color: blues, greens and purples are relaxing…so much so that you might not be getting enough work done if they are dominate colors. If you feel sleepy when you work, consider adding reds, oranges and yellows as they are stimulating colors.

Right on about the clutter!
