Feng Shui & Color

One of the easiest ways of creating harmony and balance in your apartment is by adding color. This is also one of the most rewarding Feng Shui adjustments you can make.

White

Blends all the colors of light and represents truth, harmony, purity and the way to higher spiritual knowledge.

Black

Associated with mystery and the unknown. When used carefully it can be considered powerful and dramatic but in excess it soaks up energy and vitality.

Red

Denotes vitality and energy and is associated with joy, strength, love and motivation.

Pink

Offers a sense of spiritual completeness and contentment and promotes healing.

Orange

A happy color that inspires hope, confidence and enthusiasm. It also stimulates creativity and nurtures ambition.

Yellow

A mood-lifter, stimulating joy, optimism and a sense of well-being.

Green

An abundance of nature and is both restful and energising.

Blue

Generates harmony, hope, calm and stimulates creativity, communication and spiritual understanding.

Purple

Associated with intuition, dignity and wisdom. Purple is also considered very soothing and calming and can create the perfect atmosphere for meditation.

Feng shui

Feng Shui practitioners believe that all colours can affect Ch'i energy differently as the energy in the colour ‘speaks’ and helps to connect the mind, body and spirit.
Feng Shui inspire you to decorate your dining room, living and kitchen areas in warm colours from the red/yellow side of the spectrum and neutrals are preferred for hall and entryways. The cool colours from the blue/violet side are used in the bedrooms and bathrooms.
