How to Get the Most Out of Your Workplace Feng Shui

Get your coloring right.

Get your coloring right.

Colors are important, and you should choose the color of your desk, chair, computer and walls carefully. Certain colors can make you feel more productive, or relaxed. For example, reds and oranges are known to be energizing colors that will help you focus on work tasks. On the other hand, blues can help to calm down an overactive mind when there’s too much going on at work!

Choose the right colors for your office: Colors have different effects in different offices depending on what type of space they’re in. If yours has large windows with lots of natural light coming through them then you don’t need as much brightness – instead opt for a calming shade like grey or blue which encourages productivity but doesn’t overpower any other aspects of life outside work (like sleep). If however it’s windowless then try using brighter shades like reds or yellows that stimulate creativity without over stimulating someone who might already be stressed out from their workload

What you put on your desk is important.

Your desk is a reflection of you and your work style. The way you arrange your computer, phone, pens, and other items sends a message to yourself and others about what matters most to you.

If you have an overflowing inbox and stacks of paperwork on top of your desk as well as piles surrounding it and under it, then chances are good that clutter has taken over. Clutter doesn’t just create an unpleasant working environment; it can also affect productivity, creativity or even health issues like back pain or eye strain. You may think that the answer is simply “to clean the clutter” but that’s not always so easy to do when there seems no end in sight!

When someone visits my office for the first time they often comment on how organized everything looks (especially compared with their own workspace!). Here’s my secret: I don’t have much stuff on my work surface; this helps keep me focused because I don’t get distracted by all those tempting knickknacks vying for attention every time I look up from my computer screen.

The element of air is crucial.

Air is crucial to your health and well-being.

There are several ways you can improve the quality of the air in your office, such as with plants and essential oils. Plants are a great way to improve indoor air quality because they absorb harmful toxins, like carbon dioxide and formaldehyde. You can also use essential oils in a diffuser or humidifier for their calming effects (which will help you feel more relaxed). If you live in an area that’s heavily polluted by cars or factories, these solutions may not be enough on their own; however, if there is little change in air quality outside then try adding some greenery where possible!

If you want even more benefits from plants at work—such as improved mood—consider using feng shui principles when placing them around the office: avoid placing them near doors or windows where drafts might disturb them; place tall plants at eye level instead of below since we tend not to look up much (this gives more privacy); keep low-light areas dark with darker colors but brighten up dark spaces with lighter shades so they have depth without being overwhelming; use large leafy trees instead of small potted ones because big leaves don’t need frequent pruning like smaller ones do

The element of water is helpful.

The element of water is one of the five elements in feng shui, and it represents wealth and prosperity. You can place a small water feature in your office that has an auspicious shape, such as a turtle or a dragon. The sound of flowing water is also important, so you should choose a fountain that makes a pleasant sound when it’s on.

Watch out for “poison arrows.”

Poison arrows are sharp corners of doors and tables, which can create stress in an office environment. Sharp edges or corners on desks and furniture can cause tension, too. Avoid these by rounding off the sharp edges with a file or sandpaper.

You should also be mindful of where you sit to avoid a poison arrow pointing directly at you; this means straight-on views of windows and entrances (as well as any door that has a direct view of your desk). If you have multiple poison arrows in one room—like if there’s another window right next to the one that points straight at your desk—you may want to try moving around until they’re not pointed directly at any part of your body when seated at your computer working day after day (and maybe even take regular breaks).

Another way to reduce stress is by adding personal items such as family photos or plants into the space around you; this will help keep things more homey feeling rather than sterile like many offices tend towards being due largely because we spend so much time there every day!

If you’re self-employed, decorate your office, but don’t spend a lot of money.

When it comes to decorating your home office or freelance space, here are some things that you can do on the cheap:

Hang up posters and pictures from magazines and newspapers (you know how they say “a picture is worth a thousand words”? Well they’re right). If you want something more permanent like framed art, those will cost more money. But if all you need is something temporary that looks good on the wall for now, try searching through magazines and newspapers for images with interesting designs or words that speak to you. You can also find really cool pictures online at websites like Pinterest or Instagram—just make sure that whoever owns those images has given their permission for people to use them as decoration first!

You can improve your workplace feng shui for more productivity and positivity.

If you’re looking to improve your workplace feng shui, here are some tips.

Make sure your desk faces the right direction. The best way to do this is by using an app like Feng Shui Compass on your phone or computer, which will show you what direction any given room is facing (and thus how many hours of good luck and prosperity it can bring).
Pay attention to the color of your walls. Feng shui says that certain colors bring different energies—for example, blue often indicates a calm environment while red signifies passion or excitement. You may want to ask a professional before making any changes!
Use the right desk decorations: A lotus flower vase might bring good fortune into your office space, while pictures of family members could be distracting from work tasks at hand; try experimenting with different decorative ideas until finding ones that work best for you personally and professionally alike!
