Feng Shui at the Office - Success at Your Desk

8 Easy Steps for arranging your desk

Corner Office Desks

1. Clear away clutter: If it's paper, file it, scan it, or trash it. If it's something that needs to be taken care of, do it now. Edit your essential desk-top items- do you really need 15 pens in your pen holder? Your desk is valuable real estate, and should be as clear and clean as possible.

2. Sit so you can clearly see the door. No one likes to be surprised when they are concentrating on their work. If you have a clear view of the door, you can see what's coming, literally and figuratively.

3. If you have a blank white wall behind your computer screen, it can cause eye strain and fatigue. If the wall is large enough, add artwork. Preferably something beautiful, inspiring, or action oriented (a sail boat race, a waterfall, running horses...just make sure it's an image that has a positive meaning to you. Do NOT display artwork of sinking ships, a battlefield, or dead or decaying items, all which elicit negative feelings)

4. Add a healthy living plant to the left corner of your desk. This is symbolically the wealth area of your desk, and you should nurture and care for a healthy growing plant in this area (You are symbolically nurturing and caring for your thriving career when you care for this plant, so be mindful of it). My favorite plants for this area are lucky bamboo (easy to keep alive), a jade plant (one of the favorites in the Asian culture because it's leaves are the shape of coins), or a plant that is in bloom (orchids are beautiful and are in bloom for quite a long time). DO NOT LET THIS PLANT DIE AT YOUR DESK...as soon as it starts to deteriorate, get a new healthy plant to replace it.

5. Add two personal photos to the right side of your desk, in nice frames. This is the relationship/love area of your desk, so chose your photos carefully. I suggest a happy photo of you with your loved one(s), and a second photo of either your children, your pet, or something that you love. If you love to travel, you can use a photo of a favorite destination, or somewhere you long to visit.

6. Add a table-top fountain in the north part of your office. Keep it small and classy. And yes, it should be as close to the northern compass point in your office as possible. (If you have an I-phone, you can download a free compass application that can easily tell you where north is.) A fountain in the north keeps the vital "chi" energy flowing in your office space. Make sure you keep this fountain turned on 24/7, even on the weekends, and when you are out of the office. If you turn the fountain on and off, you are turning on and off the energy of prosperity...which will start & stop your forward career movement. I love to add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to my fountain, which creates a subtle but fresh fragrance throughout the day, and has the added benefit of helping to keep you alert.

7. Add a candy or treat dish to your desk, and keep it filled with a popular treat that doesn't melt. Encourage quick visits from your office co-workers. A smile and a happy greeting from your co-workers will lift your spirits, keep you engaged, and bring a constant flow of energy to your work-space.

8. Keep positive affirmations close at hand. You can accomplish this in several ways; Famous quotes that inspire you posted on the wall/ the computer/or wherever you can see them; Books that inspire, or instruct you in career advancement; a screen-saver for your computer that has positive or motivational messages. Or add something personal to your desk or office that symbolizes success to you.

Of course there are many Feng Shui techniques that will apply to your specific office layout, but these are a few common tips that anyone can incorporate to make a positive change today!

Glass Office Desks

Glass is modern, gives the impression of being light, is easy to maintain, and lends itself to a variety of shapes and sizes. Durable and scratch-resistant, glass can innovatively transform an empty corner into a workspace.

Corner Office Desks

Contemporary in design, most glass desks are modular, can be assembled easily, take up little space, and lend a light and airy look to the interior. Sleek as well as functional, glass desks can be flexible and versatile - as well as aesthetic.

Corner Office Desks

They can be custom made to fit any budget and are made of durable materials like blue tempered or etched glass supported by a frame of steel, wrought iron , or flexi-glass. They are made as per specifications provided by the customer and can be designed to accommodate files, computer peripherals, modems, music systems, as well as office equipment.

Don't buy a desk just because it looks nice in a catalogue. Make an effort to ask around. Find out the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a glass desk. Decide whether your children and pets will be able to live comfortably with a glass desk. Find out what the costs of having a glass desk are and also visualize a glass desk in your room - does it fit with the overall scheme? Will it look odd among your heavy antique furniture? Will it clash with the furnishings? Close your eyes and try and visualize how the glass desk will look. Remember, it may be fabulous looking by itself in the professionally designed showroom where it is "showcased" when you actually buy it and set it up, it may stand out like a sore thumb. So think before you leap.

If your room is airy and light, opens out into a patio or garden, has little or no clutter then a glass desk and office system may serve you well. It will bring the openness of outdoors into your room. Choose the colors of the room in light shades and add greenery all around and you will have created an office space that reflects a great sense of design and artistry.

Making Your Cubicle Comfy, With or Without Lounge Sofas

The majority of us working folk are stuck working in a cubicle. Cubicles are about as inviting as a proctologist's exam room. Until we're lucky enough to move up in the work force and get a huge office complete with an executive desk chair and lounge sofa, we have to make due with the tiny cell we are given. Decorations can actually improve your mood and make you more productive, plus staring at a gray wall all day can be very bleak and depressing. Here are some great ideas to decorate your cubicle without going overboard.

Corner Office Desks

It's important to keep in mind that your office space still needs to be professional and not look like you just walked into a college dorm room. Master the art of restraint and keep it to a minimum. If you continually have clients in your cubicle, this is all the more reason to limit yourself and be conservative. Start with something simple like a small plant. Be sure to choose one that will survive with indoor low-lighting and doesn't require too much attention. A dead plant will not boost your morale. Stick with fake plants if you lack a green thumb. A few pictures of family and friends is also a perfect idea - nothing inappropriate of course. When hanging up pictures and posters, don't allow the cubicle to turn into an art gallery.

Corner Office Desks

The idea behind decorating the cubicle is to make it feel a bit like home. Bring in a little nick-knack, a paper weight, or your favorite mug. A desk calendar of your favorite hobby can show off your personality and help you remember that today is Tuesday, not Wednesday. Put up some inspirational quotes to keep you motivated throughout the day. A few simple things is great but don't overcrowd your desk and bring in items that will distract you from your work. New employees should take a look at what others have so you can stay within the company's guidelines.

The holidays are a perfect time to make a few changes in your dcor and I'm sure you'll appreciate them. Mini pumpkins will usher in the fall season. A winter snow globe will remind you how warm and cozy it is in the office. Making some minor changes each season will keep your space lively and fresh.

If you're not allowed to decorate, change your desktop background to a soothing image or bring in a colorful mousepad. A candy dish will make you the new office favorite, but don't snack on it all day. Another acceptable idea is to bring in some lighting. A new desk lamp can brighten your day, both physically and mentally. Remember, you don't have to be an executive to enjoy the wonderful pleasure of sitting in a comfortable executive desk chair. See if you can replace yours.

You spend over 2,000 hours a year sitting at your desk. Bring a little more joy to your day and maybe you'll get that corner office with the Lafer recliner and lounge sofa. Then your office will really become your home away from home.

Setting Up A Home Office When Having A Family

So, how do you set up a home office that will meet your professional requirements, but still stand up to the ordeals of a home with children?

Corner Office Desks

Well, there's no easy answer, but the following tips may help you.

Corner Office Desks

First of all, here's some Home Office Furniture Tips you may want to consider.

You should only pick a desk that has rounded edges as well as sturdy drawers that can be locked; particularly since there will be documents that children should not get into. It doesn't matter whether your home office desk is in the corner of a room or has its own room; please don't think that your home office will be "off limits" actually working, especially if you have small, curious children.

The same can be said for filing cabinets. Even more so, as heavy cabinet drawers can be pulled out and actually crush a small child, so ensure you have locks that work, or have latches that are difficult to open.

Again, make absolutely certain that your business computer is kept where little children can't get into it. Lock it away into an armoire desk or perhaps even consider locking up your office at night.

Another wise investment is a solid home office chair that youngsters would have a difficult time tumbling over. My advice is to be wary of regular office chairs as kids love chairs that spin -it's a simple fact. However, you'll be very angry if they go round and round and you find they actually stop after knocking your coffee over a stack of important papers !

As you go about building your own home office don't forget that childproofing your office is important. But expect a problem from time to time and be proactive by keeping items they shouldn't' touch out of sight - and mind!

Probably the two most important pieces of home office furniture you will purchase will be your home office desk and chair.

These days there is are a variety of different types of home office desks, chairs and other home office accessories available on the market.

Whether you are looking for a Computer Armoire to help conserve space, a Corner Desk to maximize space, a Computer Desk, or a U-Shaped Desk to spread out on, there's a variety of styles and finishes available online that will suit your needs and décor.

For example, a Computer Armoire is an elegant looking large cabinet that has a desk that holds a computer and its peripherals. If you don't have a separate room to set up a home office then a computer armoire may be just the thing you need. You can create a mini office in practically any location in your home with a computer armoire.

Then there's the home office corner desk, which makes great use of space. The computer desk with hutches will also provide the extra space you need for home office supplies.

L shaped desks give you plenty of work surface and sometimes accommodate a guest on the other side of the desk as well. On offer these days are numerous executive U shape desks and peninsula desks for your home office.

There's also a broad selection of affordable mobile computer carts available online that are both ergonomic and stylish.
