Feng Shui colors are often used to attract positive energy into your home or life therefore when you are planning your color schemes or upgrading furniture you should choose items that are colored according to the type of energy you need to introduce.
Use this guide to help you choose the best colors to create a harmonious life.
Feng Shui Colors
RED
Red is the color of fire which is used to represent divine energy. Be careful using red, it is best used within small decorative pieces and placed in your main living areas, rather than large furnishing or wall coverings. The color red is said to increase confidence, bring joy, and increase courage and passion.
BLUE
Blue is used to create serenity; it is the color of the sea and sky. Best used in the east and southeast areas of your home. Blue is perfect for art and decorative items. You can use dark blue to promote sleep or light blues to simply brighten a space.
YELLOW
Yellow is great for creating life in dull spaces. Dark rooms with limited amounts of natural light can benefit greatly from the color yellow because yellow is the color of the sun it creates a feeling of warmth and cheerfulness. Yellow brings the fire energy but in a much gentler way than the color red. Please note it is said that prolonged exposure to the color can create anxiety.
ORANGE
Orange is perfect for your living room, dining area or anywhere else where you would like to create a lively or playful atmosphere. The color Orange helps with creativity and defining your sense of purpose. Orange is perfect for places that you find red too strong for.
GREEN
Green is the color of nature therefore it is nurturing and revitalizing. The color Green represents the wood element; bringing healing from nature into your home. Best used by people that need growth, a new beginning or peace. Make the most of its effects by having several shades around your home.
PURPLE
Purple is the color of intuition, spiritual and mental healing, use in moderation. I do not recommend purple as a wall color particularly in the east and southeast areas of your home because it is a very strong color with high vibrations. Use purple in your meditation space or use lighter shades for adding the color to your room.
PINK
Pink, the color of love is perfect to soothe and fill your heart and home with love. The color pink will bring a strong energy into your life, particularly when couple with orange. Be aware of using too much pink in your home as it can make the residents live illusive lives.
BLACK
Black may seem like a heavy color if used a lot, it symbolizes career and sophistication. Best used inside the home for furniture shades, frames and other decorative items. Black will add depth to your home.
WHITE
White is perfect for every area of your home, especially those where you have used bright colors. It helps soothe the mind by reminding it of innocence, tranquility and the future. As a result, try to limit an all white color scheme in the east and southeast areas.
Feng shui indicates that the colors used in our life are something that affects us on a physical, emotional and psychological level. Choose your colors carefully and your home will attract the kind of energy you need most.
