Feng Shui Color Tips
The Feng shui colors that we use in our living spaces and business environments can help set the mood or tone of the area and as such, if you want to create a harmonious flow of energy, then you should try to select colors that complement one of another based on their Feng shui elements. In general, when decorating a room, we want to select Feng shui colors that don’t compete with one another based on their elemental values.
So what this typically means is that you should select colors that correspond to one or two elemental values as this can bring a room together and make things look very uniform.
