We all have our favorite colors. With the art of feng shui, the use of color takes on an importance beyond whether we like it or not. Learn how color plays a role in your home's tranquility.
There are five elements that are essential to feng shui: fire, wood, metal, earth and wind. Each element is associated with a color or a group of similar colors that represent its energy. You'll be surprised to see where you favorite color turns up.
Earth - According to feng shui ideology, beige and light shades like a pale yellow are associated with the Earth element and Earth is responsible for promoting stability in our lives. These shades brighten us up leading to a feeling of anything is possible.
Fire - What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of this element? Maybe it's the heat or a passionate feeling. Both words are used to describe the feng shui fire element. As you might imagine, colors associated with the fire element are red, orange, bright yellow, pink and purple. If you think that pink doesn't seem to fit, you haven't seen the "hot" variation. All of these colors will make your heart race and feed your energetic attitude.
Wood - The wood element is synonymous in feng shui with life and prosperity. Trees burst with life; brown wood and lush green leaves that provide life. Brown for the wood and green for the leaves are the colors of Wood.
Metal - Metal is the element responsible for bringing clarity to your life with its well defined shapes and lines. White and gray are the colors of metal.
Water - Water refreshes the mind and the body. It calms you as you bathe in it. It also represents a feeling of plenty and abundance. Water colors are black and blue and their use in the home is all about purity of mind and body.
The use of color in your home is not just about painting the walls. It's also about the furniture, the accent pieces and the artwork in the room as well. I encourage you to let the feng shui energy map be your guide and then invigorate your home with vivid colors that heighten the energy vibration. Don't be afraid of using colors. Instead, be bold and you'll be happily surprised by the results.
