Here are some basic tips on Feng Shui is the decoration of offices:

1. Desktop. The desk should be placed in a position to control the environment. There should never be placed in a way that you give back to the door or window. The desktop size is also important, very little you will feel unimportant, you will feel great out of focus.

Today I offer some practical advice for decorating your office and make it a nice place in working hours.

A good idea is to choose an area near the window so you’ll have plenty of natural light to work and if you can with a nice view of the work that makes you happy and give you a sense of space and that the office do not seem too small.

A corner in the lounge is a good idea too but always strives for near natural light.

If you work in a small space, ensures that every corner has a function, without the place look too utilitarian.

If you need an area to write occasionally be creative, put a foldable so that when you do not need it so close.

Another option is also a desk that has a writing table that slides out, that system you can install yourself if you can not buy with integrated table.

If you want an extra seat in addition to a visitor can add and place a stool under your desk or if you have no place to save it elsewhere.

You can place a shelf in the background and observe all that is books or folders.

If desktop space is insufficient, put pens, notepad, a laptop that is smaller and a mobile phone.

If you have the desk drawers you can store important files to end a good ergonomic chair that provides good support for a workday.

I’ll give you tips and ideas to decorate this area so special to get a good working atmosphere and a beautiful space at the same time.

If you do not have much space and want to take a corner to create your “home office” there are many good options you can consider. For me I especially like the idea of a table embedded in a wall cabinet shelf. You will have a huge piece of furniture across the wall to place all the necessary material and being all along the wall takes up very little space.

The neutral tones and clear help concentrate and do not distract as prints, which can divert attention. The predominant white spaces that I present here in both the furniture and the decorative elements because it creates a feeling of purity, cleanliness and serenity, perfect for relaxation and concentration.

The light is essential. Set up an office in a small room without windows is a huge mistake. Try to get the desk is near a window (always best natural source of light) and you are much better front, the breeze and the air are very nice and if the room is small outside a vision that will feel we’re in a larger space than it actually is.

Many companies only invest in repair their offices when the walls are about to fall. However, spend a few dollars to improve workspace design can offer great returns in terms of motivation and present employees …

It is not news to anyone that the comforts of an impact on office workers’ performance. The sad dimly lit cubicles, chairs uncomfortable (and unhealthy) are a potent cause of demotivation and absenteeism.

According to a survey conducted in San Francisco, 48 percent of workers said they are willing to work an extra hour per day if the company would improve the conditions buildings.

In this context, it may be worthwhile to devote some portion of the budget for the item (in fact, from this perspective, the cost could be justified under the rubric of “investment in human resources”).

But what criteria to use in remodeling? What is the most effective design?

In principle, there is no single recipe. In many respects, the decisions will depend on the creativity of each business and functional needs of the workspace.

An article from BusinessWeek gives some ideas based on real cases of entrepreneurs who took the issue seriously and invested in the construction of offices designed for maximum productivity. Let’s see …
