If you follow rules in your lifephilosophy of Feng Shui, then look for harmony. Or try to create this harmony with your own hands. Well, at least in the immediate surrounding space. And this means that you will also arrange your home according to the rules of this ancient teaching. But a person's home is not only the geometry of the rooms and interior items. It is also a color palette, which everyone chooses at their own discretion. Discretion, in turn, depends on what you are guided by when creating a residential interior: your own tastes (or the tastes of the designer), the laws of style, or something else. This “something else” can be the eastern teaching of Feng Shui. According to the rules of this teaching, colors in Feng Shui belong to either “yin” or “yang”. And the most correct energy is in the house where harmony reigns between “yin” and “yang”. Therefore, with the help of color, this very harmony is very easy to achieve. You just need to know what energy a particular color carries and use this knowledge correctly.

The meaning of color according to the teachings of Feng Shui

Red is considered the most powerful color thatstimulates vital energy, inspires and excites. In the East, it symbolizes prosperity and happiness. At the same time, it is the color of passion and anger, which can provoke chaos in life. Therefore, this color should be used thoughtfully and carefully, using it to decorate only those rooms that are associated with activity and energy.

Orange color inspires and disposes to communication, stimulates the work of the mind. Therefore it is suitable for those rooms where people meet, communicate and engage in mental work.

The yellow color symbolizes optimism and positivity. It is the color of the sun, which can revive the darkest and darkest corners of the house. It is also believed that the yellow color leads to the acquisition of wisdom.

Green color symbolizes spring, revival andthe beginning of life is the color of nature. Green color relieves stress and anxiety, gives a sense of peace and harmony. In the teaching of feng shui, this color is considered the color of peace and quiet.

Golden color, like yellow, createsoptimistic mood, but is considered a color with a stronger energy, because it attracts respect and veneration. In combination with red symbolizes wealth and luck.

The blue color symbolizes tranquility andequilibrium. He disposes to rest and relaxes. In addition, the blue color makes a person believe in a better future. You understand that this color is appropriate where people rest and, perhaps, think about the future.

Blue is considered the color of justice and fulfillment of desires. However, an excess of this color in the interior can cause a feeling of uncertainty, discomfort and pressure.

Purple color symbolizes high ideals and spirituality, generates dreams and inspires, creates a creative mood, a sense of the presence of something mystical and wonderful.

White color symbolizes the mind, purity and innocence. It is associated with virtue and divinity, purifies energy and adds the ease of everyday life. White color is good for use in poorly lit rooms, as well as where you need a feeling of cleanliness and freshness.

Black is the color of perfection and formality, authority and sophistication. Using this color in the interior helps to create a focused and businesslike atmosphere.

As you know, yin and yang are twoopposites that only when combined become whole, complete and harmonious. Therefore, when using colors in the interior according to Feng Shui, you should also know that Yang is positive, light and warmth. The colors of "Yang": orange, yellow, red, and black. "Yin" (feminine principle) is negative (oh, how unfair!), cold and darkness. The colors of "Yin": blue, white and green. Purple can have one or another energy, depending on which color is more in it: red purple is "Yang", blue purple is "Yin". According to the rules of Feng Shui, the colors of Yin and Yang must be used together: this is the only way to achieve harmony. Let's look at an example of how Feng Shui consultants recommend choosing a color scheme for different rooms.

Room color according to Feng Shui

The living room is the largest room in the house.If its purpose is to receive guests, then red, yellow and orange colors are simply necessary, which must be neutralized with calm shades of green or blue or white. If the living room is intended for family recreation, then its main colors are green and gold. Bedroom. The bedroom needs a feeling of comfort and peace. Its colors are light blue, gentle shades of blue, muted green combined with bright elements of red and yellow. The kitchen should be the “warmest” place in the house in terms of color scheme. All shades of yellow, red and orange will help make it just that. Various items (dishes, tablecloths) of dark blue or green will help control appetite. The most suitable colors for the bathroom (according to the rules of Feng Shui) are all pastel shades of warm or cold colors: peach instead of orange, milky-salad instead of green, soft blue instead of blue, pink instead of red. A bright contrast to the muted yin or yang in the bathroom should be individual elements: towels, a foot mat, bathing accessories. Of course, you can choose colors for a child's room according to the rules of Feng Shui, but it is better to focus on the temperament and character of the child. For example, in no case should you use red in the interior design of an excitable child, and blue - for phlegmatic and inert children. For a schoolchild's room, it is better to use the same colors that are suitable for decorating an office: brown, green, terracotta, and for infants - blue, white, peach, pink, pale lilac. However, very often when decorating an interior, the colors you like and Feng Shui turn out to be incompatible concepts. Then it is still better to listen to your inner voice, or rather your feeling. After all, Feng Shui is not a guide to interior design. Your home should be convenient and comfortable for you. Experiment with color and find the golden mean. This way you will achieve harmony, and this is what the teaching of Feng Shui itself strives for. We recommend reading:
