Plants in the office can increase luck in your career. Place plants in the east, south or south-east corners of your office for maximum luck.

Fresh flowers bring luck and fortune in your home. Place fresh flowers in your living room on a regular basis. However, once they die, throw them out. Don’t leave dying flowers in your home.

If you apply the principles of Feng Shui to your bed, it will be beneficial for your health and also bring prosperity into your life. If you are buying a new bed, you should ensure that it is in accordance with the principles of Feng Shui.
Here are some Feng Shuitips for a proper bed:
* Allow positive energy to circulate: Ensure that the bed has legs elevating it above the ground. This allows space for chi and air to circulate. If you sleep on such a bed, you will have a healthy body and mind.
* Never keep sharp objects, weapons or other metal items under the bed. This will affect your relations and lead to mental agitation.
* Place the bed in the center of the room. Placing to bed with one side facing the wall impedes the free flow of energy. If you live in an apartment, where space is the constraint, you place the head side of the bed facing the wall.
* Ensure that the bed is large enough and comfortable to sleep in. Always prefer king size.
* Proper headboard: Ensure that your bed has proper headboard. A proper headboard provides you symbolic protection. It also provides stability to your relationship.
* Footboard: A footboard is not necessary. Many people feel congested and uncomfortable while sleeping on beds with footboards. If your bed has a footboard, ensure that it doesn’t rise above the mattress.
