Need an Office Makeover?

Although I practically lectured you all about the office Feng Shui widget I found at LocalHealers.com, I truly believe that everyone can benefit from using this widget, especially if you are already interested in interior design. Think about it…if implementing a few Feng Shui guidelines to your office can make the difference between dreading your morning commute to looking forward to your career…why wouldn’t you make some simple changes? Although the task of redecorating an office may seem daunting, fear not! This widget it very straightforward and clearly outlines quick ways to effectively improve your office. In addition, it is not necessary to use every single bit of advice offered on the widget. Whether you use one tip, or all tips, every office can be enhanced. Simply pick and choose which aspects of Feng Shui and office ergonomics offered in the widget you want to apply and tah dah! You have a new and improved office!

While browsing through the various blogs on my blog roll, I came across an example in one of my favorite blogs that reveals how you can effectively pick and choose the information offered in this widget. Copy Cat Chic’s writer, ReichB, shared pictures of her home office with her readers and used a central characteristic of office ergonomics for the position of her computer.

As you can see in the picture, ReichB used a cake stand to keep her laptop at the appropriate eye level. Copy Cat Chic shows that you not only can pick and choose what aspects of this widget you want to apply, but you can also infuse your own personal style while doing it. If you want to learn more about office ergonomics, click on the image of the person sitting at the computer on the widget.


Even though there has been some skepticism surrounding office ergonomics, evident from these cartoons below, it has overall been successfully accepted as a method to positively improve an office environment. As more people become knowledgeable on the topic of office Feng Shui and ergonomics, the less questionable people become and fewer eyebrows are raised.


These cartoons should not be considered limitations or in any way decrease the reliability of this widget because these cartoons are a product of people not being well informed on the immense power Feng Shui and ergonomics can have. Therefore, these cartoons should be viewed as inspiration to producing even more widgets on Feng Shui and ergonomics. As of now, this widget is the ONLY one offering information on this topic. And although this widget provides ample amounts of information to improve your office, there is even more information just waiting for you to convert it into another helpful widget. For example, there could be a widget that focuses entirely on color. An article titled, Work Got You Down? It Might Be Your Chi: Bring Positive Energies to Your Office with Feng Shui, discusses the area of color in detail. For more information on Feng Shui, check out a book titled, Interior Design With Feng Shui by Sarah Rossbach and Lin Yun.

This widget should not only inspire others to create other feng shui widgets but any type of interior design widget. Interior design is a creative field, so use those creative minds to help out others! How awesome would it be if there was a widget that could help you choose an appropriate color scheme for your home? And remember, interior design is not limited to the indoors… there could even be a widget about landscaping! Clearly, the possibilities are endless. Check out sproutbuilder.com if you have an amazing idea for interior design widget. This site allows people to set up an account for FREE and build your on widget.

As you know, interior design blogs constantly refer to other interior designers’ work by posting pictures or referencing articles. Now just imagine how useful it would be if interior designers created widgets with helpful information about their design tools or rules. These widgets could then be shared and posted on blogs.

So go on, use those creative juices and create a widget. Who knows, maybe I will be raving about your widget just as I have been raving about this widget…
