Feng Shui originated in china, used by the ancient Chinese to decorate their homes, it was a method for ensuring that the placement of furniture and the inclusion of some other things would allow for their home to be harmonious.

It is quite easy to learn the rules of Feng Shui as they are fairly simple to implement.

This is something which you can do for yourself. Learning the rules of Feng Shui decorating is not especially difficult and there are many great resources on the web, or in book shops, which you can utilise to great effect. And another one of these great resources is this article. This article will quickly run through some of the basic rules of the Chinese art of Feng Shui.

Feng Shui has a strong focus upon the natural elements of our environment around us. This means using the every day elements that we take for granted, but which can be utilised to help us when we surround ourselves by them. One such element is that of fire. The element of Fire is said to encourage motivation, and so obvious by having fire colours, or elements of fire within your work space, this could motivate you to do better work.

Lets start with Fire. It is easy to make a room designed to motivate you by using the fire element, this can be as simple as painting it red, or using red and orange accent colours. Or if the room is not an office but a more comfortable living space, the spread candles about the room, or have a fire in the room, as this will help you.

There are many small water features which are relatively cheap to buy. These are not just for the outside, there are some which can be bought that are specifically for a table or desk top. These will be small little water fountains that use a small pump to continue to make the water flow. Water is said to calm and steady the mind, keeping you focused, and so having a small water feature in your office can really help your work along.

Again, there are other elements which have great properties too. How about the element of earth? Earth is said to promote creativity within a person. If you do a creative job, or have other creative endeavours you should make sure that your office or studio is always facing a garden and nature. If this is not possible, like up the place with some plants.

Finally, use colours to the same effect. For a room to motivate, use red, orange and yellow paints. For a room to calm, steady and soothe, try cooling blue colours which are said to keep the mind balanced, and for one which promotes creativity accents of green and brown are the colours for you.
