Some Feng Shui Tips for Your Office include:-

• Remove the Clutter. Always keep your office clean by getting rid of things that are no long in use and replace them with new useful ones. Arrange your desk in an orderly manner. Files and office papers should be placed on the left side of the table to be protected by the mighty “dragon” and to bring some luck. If being place at the right side, the “tiger” might be irritated and will distract your concentration.

• Sit facing the office door. Sitting with your back facing the door is not great, as you cannot see danger coming from behind you, through the door.

• Use high back chair. This is to enhance the positive energy of the turtle for protection and stability. Or you could hang a picture of a mountain on the wall as an alternative.

• Create your own private space. Having to share the office with other people, does not allow you to move the things around the way you want. Try to create your own private space by surrounding yourself with some green plants. Avoid plants with spikes or sharp leaves.

These Feng Shui Tips for Your Office are the basic tips for office layouts. Changing your layout using these principles will create a space with positive and relaxed feeling.

They are simple tips and yet are useful and helpful to create a comfortable working environment.
