Remove clutter: Your office must be organized and arranged efficiently. Clutter according to Feng Shui stimulates negative Chi (energy) and should be kept to a minimum. Remove whatever extraneous materials are lying in your office.

Shape of your desk: Shape of your desk can affect your mood and level of productivity in the workplace

Placing the plants: Place plants in your work and help you stay connected to the natural world. Since the green color spurs creativity and new ideas it helps you to have creative element in the office.
