Creating a Harmonious Feng Shui Home with Colors

One of the best and easiest methods for shifting energy in your space with Feng Shui is by using various colors.

Each color expresses each of the five elements of Feng Shui- Earth, Fire, Water, Wood and Metal.

Choosing the best colors according to your space’s energy map will result in the creation of a harmonious Feng Shui home.

The fire element colors are orange, red, pink or rose, strong yellow and purple. Red represents divine energy and should be used with caution.




It is best to use red through small decorative pieces rather than using it to color walls or huge pieces of furniture.

The color brings joy, confidence, passion and courage.

Orange is an excellent color for dining rooms, living rooms and other places where you indulge in lively and playful activities. It evokes a sense of purpose, bubbly talks and creativity.

Yellow, the color of sunlight evokes a warm and cheerful feeling. Pink or rose is a universal color symbolizing love.

It can calm you up, filling the heart with lots of love. When combined with orange, it brings out the ardent side of a person.

But the color should not be used too much as it has a tendency of making lives a little illusory.

Earth refers to stability and nourishment and its representative colors are light yellow, beige and other earthy colors. The earth element colors refer to the central element of your home.

Metal refers to precision and clarity, and thus the use of metallic colors brings out the qualities of precision, sharpness, efficiency and clarity.

The northern side of your office or home is a good place for the use of the metal element in color. White and gray are the metal colors.

In fact, white clams the mind and soothes it with tranquility and innocence. The color is best used in the southeast and east areas of a home.

Water symbolizes freshness, abundance and ease. It brings about a refreshing energy full of ease, calm, freshness and purity.

The southeast and eastern areas of a house are good places to use the water element colors, which are blue and black.

Blue, the color of the sky and sea creates a serene atmosphere. Light blue can simply liven up the entire space while the deeper shade can be used to promote sleep.

Black should not be used on a large scale as it sometimes brings about a feeling of heaviness. However, it symbolizes sophistication and career.

The color should be used in a home’s interior in paintings, furniture, etc. Black can lend a room a lot of depth and definition.

The wood element refers to vitality and health. The use of the wood element brings about growth, abundance, prosperity and wealth.

Green and brown are wood element colors. Green is representative of nature and thus refers to upbringing and refreshing.

The color evokes the vibrations of healing in your home. It can be used if you are in search of new beginnings, growth and peace.

Several shades of the color can be used to make most of the effects that the color can give.



The energy produced by brown is very nourishing and is a good choice for the kitchen and the main entry. However, the usage should be restricted as too much usage makes the inhabitants lose ambition.

In fact, one must not use brown for children’s bedrooms.

Colors can nourish and uplift your mood, if used properly and harmoniously.

You can use the color chart to bring vitality, happiness, peace, harmony and an overall sense of well being in your life by the proper use of colors in your home.
