Maintain Munchies. Use a colorful glass bowl for sweet treats or even a tray of fruit for a quick bite.

Using plants, especially citrus or herbs, adds a culinary element to the office and can have an aromatherapy effect. Taste is closely tied to smell.

Touch--Feeling Your Goals Within Reach

Add tactile elements to please your sense of touch - leather, wood, stone, cashmere, wool, chenille, rattan, wicker, sisal.

Mix hard slick surfaces with softer elements. Don’t forget visual texture, such as patterns and plants. Layer and combine for greatest effect.

Smell--Scents of Success

Aroma therapy is big business these days. Find out what triggers your creativity and lifts your energy by experimenting with a variety of scents, such as lavender, pine, citrus and sandalwood. The scent doesn’t have to be overwhelming or flowery to be effective.

Avoid negative scents like mustiness, old gym shoes, day old Chinese takeout and such. Always maintain a neutral or fresh scent. Scent can even be used as a signature for your business. If you are in a home baking business, nothing beats the heavenly smell of fresh baked cookies (which is often a scent used to sell houses!).
