How Happy are you in your Office? by Feng Shui NY consultant
When observing your office space, you need to really take a step back and think to yourself...do I enjoy working here? And do the people I work with feel happy? It is amazing how people can react to an environment that does not have the most up lifting atmosphere compared to an office filled with colors and items that promote happiness, balance and great communication.
New York City office floor waiting area
The image above is of an office waiting room in NYC that is filled with great local New York artists paintings. These artists are not shy to display their love for color, which is fantastic! Why? It helps to enliven and create a warm and welcoming space as soon as you exit the elevator. This sets the tone for the rest of the office space, which was positive and energetic feeling.
Office in New York City addressed with Artwork to help warm up the space
When designing your office using the Feng Shui Principles, you really do not have to add a lot. The New York City company placed three decent sized canvases by the front entrance with the intent to simply make visitors and employees more comfortable in the space. His employees were surrounded by nothing but fun and playful artwork :) I know it put a smile on my face the whole time.
As the boss you need to make sure that you employees are happy. Why? Having happy employees equals better communication, which means they will be more productive and motivated to work with you. Having employees being more productive means you gain the desired income to help run your business. It truly is a win win situation. Respect your employees and treat them the way you wish to be treated.
Some Feng Shui Tips to enhance your Office:
- Bring living plants into your location. Remember, "let the outside in". Especially in Manhattan based offices, you need nature in your space to help balance the industrial scenery. Plants can help bring life and growth to your business.
- Adding Artwork to help warm up your office. This is a great idea if you can not paint the walls. Your choice in artwork depends on they type of atmosphere you are looking to create. It can be calm, fun, motivating, a more natural approach...you can use photography or sculpture.
- Allow your employees to decorate their space. It could be a cubical or office. By them wanting to decorate speaks highly of you, because that means they are truly happy where they work :)
- Many times offices need to have a waiting area. Be sure to make it comfortable and inviting. Sometimes a bowl of candy is presented :)
Take the time to see if your office needs a little "re-energizing" with Feng Shui. If so you can implement some of these simple changes :)
