Decorating In The Feng Shui Manner

Let’s start with color:  What colors you choose to use in your home and office will have a deep and powerful impact on you.  Surrounding yourself with a wide variety of colors is a good way to balance the Chi – or energy – in your home. 

You can make positive changes by using certain colors in your décor.  Each of the nine Bagua areas (including the center which represents the Chi) has a specific color that relates to it.

For example, your Wealth Area colors are red, blue and purple.  Consider painting your rear left room a vibrant shade of blue.  If that room is a bedroom, you might want to use a deep rich purple bedspread or comforter.

If your kitchen is in the center of your house, or in the Chi area, paint it a vibrant, sunny yellow and accessorize with muted earth tones.

Enhance your marriage or love life by placing pink, red or white flowers in the rear right corner of your bedroom.  Even better, place a picture of you and your mate in a pink frame and place white or red candles in the area.

The possibilities of how to incorporate Feng Shui colors into décor are limited only by your imagination.

One thing to keep in mind is that color associations vary by culture and society.

Red, for example, is associated with danger in the United States.  In China, though, it is the color of celebration.  We in the West consider black the color of mourning; in the East, it’s used to represent the flow of prosperity.

 Here is a list of each Bagua Area and its corresponding color:

Note: Red also represents energy.  Too much can “flare up” an argument; use it sparingly.

Does a favourite colour say anything about a persons character? My favorite colour has always been Kelly Green (Jets fans will know this colour lol!) and orange.Very few people like orange and I have always wondered why.
