Feng Shui, traditional and ancient Chinese wisdom, aims to establish the energy balance of a given space through the arrangement of furniture, objects and also the colors used in the decoration. With the correct choice of the available color chart – including the different shades – we can establish a specific energy to that room, aiming at the goals we intend to achieve.
First, to determine the correct colors to apply, we must establish which bagua the room will be directed to. Baguas are species of compasses through which you can map your home and establish the sectors called guás. They are: work and business, wisdom and religion, family, prosperity and wealth, fame and success, love, children and dreams, friends and health.
After defining which room will be directed to which sector, check below which are the most suitable colors to attract beneficial energies to each of them:
Work, career and business
The colors indicated in this guide are: black, dark gray, graphite, light blue, dark blue and aqua green. Wood and orange and brown colors should be avoided. Photos and frames with images of calm and soft water are also indicated, as well as aquariums and water fountains.
wisdom and spirituality
Light blue, dark blue, green, yellow, terracotta, brown and lilac are the colors that should be present. On the other hand, avoid metal, white, silver and gold. The element for this gua is earth. Books and ceramic objects in the indicated colors are welcome.
Family
In the field dedicated to the family, the most suitable colors are green and emerald. Metal, white, silver and red should be avoided. Wood in this case is extremely suitable, as well as family portraits, rugs and everything else that causes a feeling of coziness.
Wealth and prosperity
Avoid white and red. Abuse shades of yellow, gold, orange, silver, green and blue. Keep using wood in this field. Decoration objects with golden details draw wealth.
fame and success
As in the gua above, gold and silver are well indicated, adding orange and red. The element is fire, which produces enthusiasm and energy. Frames with images of sunsets, candles and fireplaces are good options to energize this field. Black, dark blue and brown should be avoided.
love and relationship
The main indication is in pink, red, white, yellow, terracotta and brown. Wood and metal should be avoided. It is good to always use objects in pairs and any others that represent a sentimental side of the couple and denote good memories.
Children, goals and creativity
White, silver, light grey, light yellow and gold are indicated. Black, red and dark blue should be avoided. It's the best place in the house to put stereos and TVs, as well as metal objects.
Friends
White, silver, pale grey, pale yellow and gold can be used in abundance in this sector; on the other hand black, red and dark blue should be avoided as much as possible. Metal is the most suitable element.
Health
For the last sector we must use shades of yellow, beige, terracotta and brown. Avoid white, gold and silver. It is advisable to dedicate a space to have yellow stones and crystals and also plants with flowers in these tones.
