Colors & Feng Shui

Feng Shui is a way that the Chinese believe will bring about a balance and energy into your room. Chi is what the energy is and with the right use of Feng Shui it is said to be able to flow from all objects in the room and help to get your energy back. You need to set up feng shui in the right way so that the chi is able to flow in the right way.

One of the most important things that you should take into consideration when working with feng shui is what colors you have in what rooms. If you have the wrong color the chi will not flow properly. Colors that are used in a room will make a person happy or sad, want to work or relax. So in order to get the right colors and the right chi flow you need to figure out what the room is going to be used for.

You need to learn to use the colors that are placed in the room in the right way with feng shui. If you are trying to create the right atmosphere for a bedroom you need to put in a few darker colors and not many light or bright ones, this will not have a person relaxing if there is too much brightness. The same is said for a work area, don’t place dark colors unless you don’t want work to get done.

Specific objects that are in a room will also determine whether chi will work in the room. Don’t have too many different colors in a room this will only play havoc on the chi and not have your room balanced at all. So if a room has light walls adding in some darker furnishings is a great idea. If you have too much of one color it will become overwhelming and not help you out at all.

Try putting in area rugs to help the flow of chi throughout the room. A contrasting rug to the furniture may actually help the chi to flow better through a room. So don’t think you always need to match all the colors in a room. The proper set up is very important when it comes to feng shui.

A great way that you can tell if you have the feng shui of a room done correctly is to watch how people who visit act to the room. If they seem happy and have a bunch of energy you have the colors and set up just right. But if they are uptight, you may have too may bold colors in the room. If you can read how people react in your rooms you will have a great way of figuring out how to have the chi flowing the correct way.
