What effect do colors have on living space? What shades should you have in the rooms of your home? Colors affect mood, productivity, well-being and relaxation, so it is important to bring colors into the home that have a positive effect on us.
Feng shui colors direct chi energy and, depending on the color, beneficially changes the energy of individual areas of the apartment.
The choice of colors is based on the harmonious use of the five basic elements (fire, metal, earth, wood and water). Each of these elements has its own colors, which, in connection with the element, create and spread chi energy.
Which color is right? According to Feng Shui, each color has its own meaning.
Green
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, green symbolizes change, success and adaptability. The green color relaxes, so it is good to have a green wall or a corner where you can relax after a busy day. Research has also shown that pictures of landscapes help patients recover faster.
In moments of inspiration, write with a green pencil, as this will make it much easier to put your thoughts on paper.
Yellow
Yellow is associated with the sun, liveliness and warmth. It stimulates thinking and creativity. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the central part of the room is the ideal place for some details in yellow. However, excessive exposure to yellow can tire the eyes.
Orange
Orange brings warmth and joy. It is a pleasant color that helps to overcome fatigue. Bright orange (in smaller quantities) can increase positive energy in the home.
Red
Red is associated with fire, the element that brings change. Red is a temperamental color. Even a very small amount of this color acts as a magnet and is very strong. Just one wall in the room or some detail in the form of pillows or carpets is enough. For example, a red door creates a feeling of welcome, but also means success and profit.
Blue
According to Feng Shui, blue is the water element and is the basis for a successful new beginning. It has the power to boost self-confidence, facilitate communication and speed up problem-solving. It also reduces appetite, so it is good to have it in the dining room or kitchen. However, be careful not to overexpose this color, as it can also cause the exact opposite effect.
Purple
This color is perfect for spaces where you meditate or practice yoga. She is associated with wealth and is believed to be in the far left corner of the front door. However, it is not a good choice for the living room, as it can create negative energy and make communication difficult.
