Color Your World the Feng Shui Way: Feng Shui Color Design

Color is an important factor in understanding Feng Shui. The colors in a room can influence the way the light enters a room or stays in a room. Colors can affect your mood. Some colors provide a sense of well-being while others give a feeling of increased energy.

Bright, warm based colors tend to have more yang energy while pastel cool colors are more yin energy. The idea in Feng Shui is to establish a balance between yin and yang. Yin energy is considered more feminine and calm while yang energy is more masculine and bold.

There are certain colors associated with specific segments or areas of the home. When used in these segments the colors tend to strengthen the chi associated with it. White is associated with the northeast and stimulates motivation, quick thinking, sharp mindedness and knowledge. Yellow in the center of the room adds power, attention, opportunities and change. The north is for cream or translucent finish. It means independence, spirituality and sexuality.

Gray or silver in the northwest means self-control, dignity, control, organization and responsibility. Pink in the west signifies romance, playfulness or contentedness. Black in the southwest means realistic, practical or intimate. Purple in the south is passion, sociability, more emotion and quick thinking. Dark green or blue in the southeast means imagination or creativity, sensitivity or new ideas. Bright green in the east means ambition, confidence and self-esteem as well as energy and enthusiasm.

Don't think of paint as the only way to add color to a room. There are many ways to bring color into the segments without having to make it permanent. You can add pillows of a color in your living room. Choose pictures that have the main colors be what you want to add to the room in that area. Rugs bring color to a room instantly. Wall hangings or plaques are a way to add color. Lamps with shades of a specific color are a way to bring color into the room.

Other ways to change colors in a room are through the use of furniture and drapes. If you can't change the furniture get a slipcover or furniture throw in a specific color. You can also choose to use color to bring attention to a feature that you want to make important. Use a brighter color or a color that will stand out in order to bring more focus to the item.

You can also use Feng Shui color to choose the colors of your clothing. Different colors will automatically bring about certain feelings and may make sense for certain situations. To increase the energy and bring attention to you choose red fabrics and metal jewelry. To be more assertive and self-confident wear bright green colors or vertical lines. Choose gray to be a better leader. Greens and blues help you to communicate better and to be more creative. Cream-colored loose fitting clothing helps you to relax and find inner peace. Yellows and browns will help you be more compassionate.

Be more aware of color in your life and how you are using it to create the type of energy that you want.
