Feng-Shui Decoration: colours that enhance your well-being

There are endless ways to beat stress in which we are subjected to in our day-to-day life. One of these remedies is closely related to interior design and colours. We are talking about Feng Shui decoration, a style that follows the principles of Chinese metaphysics: Ba Cua, the 5 elements or CHI energy. Do you want to apply it in your house?  Would you like to know the properties of Blatem Feng Shui Paint?  Be very attentive to this article.

Post-holiday stress, back to school, work, traffic jams, bad weather...  There are many elements that can provoke stress in our daily lives. Our home, the space where we spend much of our time, can help us counter this feeling and convey the well-being and calm we often need.

Feng Shui aims to achieve balance from the flow of energy or Chi that is found in the elements of nature. Those 5 elements (earth, sea, metal, fire and wood) can be translated into 5 chromatic branches that have a significant influence on our mood. Therefore, applying Feng Shui at home is easy if we learn how to play better with colour.

What should you know about Feng Shui colours?

When choosing one or another colour associated with Feng Shui, be aware that richness and perfect balance are in the nuances. The question should not be if I choose one or another colour.  A study of ours says Feng Shui should be done to allow for different chromatic sets. In this way, we can draw landscapes of colour that can help us to feel comfortable at home.

Following this idea, if we relate the sensations that transmit the colours with those which convey certain materials or elements of our decoration, the balance will be much more surprising and unique.

Finally, the personality of the different household members should also be considered when using one or other Feng Shui paint. Those who are more nervous may paint their rooms with neutral and relaxed colours; while the more quieter types may opt for warmer and more expressive choices.

5 Colours, 5 Elements

Fire Element: Reddish colours, orange colours, pinkish and warm colours. They add forceful energy, heat and emotion to your flat. Use these tones sparingly because if they are applied in excess, they can lead us to that feeling of stress from which we flee.

Here, the best option is to opt for objects of our decoration that can provide some contrast in more neutral spaces. Another good idea is to apply it on a small wall, pillar or beam in our living room or hallway. A perfect counterpoint to maintain emotional balance.

Earth Element: Terracotta tones, beige, yellow, cream or ocher. The earth gives us strength, security and peace. They are ideal for any room at home, except for those working rooms: study room, rehearsal space or offices.

Use the more yellowish tones in the darkest corners of your apartment: Windowless rooms, corridors, hallways....  In addition, earthy tones can work very well on floors and baseboards, as they represent stability.

Metal Element: white, off-white or metallic tones. They are neutral and pure colours. They help your eyes rest and convey formality. They are ideal in areas where the feeling of cleanliness is important, such as kitchens or bathrooms as well as study spaces since these tones help with concentration.

Wood Element: green and brown hues. This is the purest colour family of nature. The earth element conveys tranquility and rejuvenation. Here we find the most suitable Feng Shui colours for the bedroom.

Water Element: black, blue and violet. Cool tones associated with the water element transmit passivity, calm and introspection. It is ideal for flats where a lot of light enters or it is very hot in the summer months.
