Creating a Harmonious Feng Shui Home with Colors
Color is something that Feng Shui makes use
of in attracting positive energy into our living space. When you are
planning your home’s color schemes, you should pick accordingly to
the kind of energy you need. This guide will assist you in choosing
the best colors for you to come up with a harmonious home.
Red – This is the color of fire, which represents divine energy. It
is advised to use red with caution. Red is best as the color of
small decorative pieces in your living areas, rather than with huge
furnishings or wall color. This color brings confidence, joy,
courage and passion into your life.
Blue – Creating a feeling of serenity, blue is the color of the sea
and sky. This color is best used in the east and southeast portions
of your home, in the form of wall color and decorative items.
Depending on the kind of energy you need, you might want to employ
deep blue to promote sleep, or lighter ones to liven up the space.
Yellow – Dull spaces with little sunlight will benefit from the
color yellow. This is the color of sunlight, so it evokes a feeling
of warmth and cheerfulness. It also brings the fire energy, but in a
much gentler way than red. However, it is said that prolonged
exposure to this color causes anxiety.
Orange – This color is a brilliant choice for your living room,
dining area or elsewhere where lively and playful energy is needed.
Orange evokes creativity, one’s sense of purpose and bubbly
conversations. This is also the color of choice for those who find
red too strong.
Green – Surrounding oneself by the green color of nature is
refreshing and nurturing. This color represents the wood element,
evoking the healing vibrations from nature into your home. It is
best for those who need growth, peace and new beginnings. Having
several different shades of green in the home makes the most of the
color’s effects.
Purple – Excellent for spiritual and mental healing, purple should
be used in moderation. Experts do not recommend this as a wall
color, especially in the east and southeast areas of your home,
since it is a very strong, high vibration color. Purple is best used
in a meditation space; or go for lighter tones such as lavender in
adding color to your room.
Pink – The universal color of love, this color is perfect to soothe
and fill the heart with love. Pink brings a very fiery energy into
your life, especially when coupled with orange. However, too much of
this color in one’s home makes the residents tend to live illusive
lives.
Black – Although it may convey a feeling of heaviness if used in
large proportions, black symbolizes career and sophistication. The
color is best used indoors, in the form of furniture shades, frames,
and other small decorative items. Black adds depth and definition to
any home space.
White – Excellent for use anywhere in the home, especially to
contrast bright colors. White soothes the mind by filling it with
energy of innocence, tranquility and a bright new future. However,
try to limit an all white color scheme in the east and southeast
areas of your home.
Feng Shui maintains that the colors used in our living environment
as something that affects us physically, emotionally and
psychologically. Picking the right Feng Shui colors in your home
will attract the kind of energy that will work for you best.
