Colors of happiness
The world is full of colors. Colors are not irrelevant to our mood and well-being. They can be a source of relaxation for us, or, on the contrary, act like a swat on a bull. The right color of a room is therefore an important element of interior design. This position is shared by the ancient Chinese art of interior design. The masters of feng shui, as it is referred to, are of the opinion that the most important thing is harmony and moderation. This principle also applies to the selection of colors for rooms in the house.
The art of feng shui is based on the theory of the five elements. The Chinese believe that the world is ruled by five elements – tree, fire, earth, metal, water. These elements interact with each other and with their surroundings. They can be a source of positive or negative energy. Their presence is also manifested in colors.
TREE
Associated with the energy of the element tree are the colors green and brown and their shades. Feng shui recommends these colors for use in rooms that are located in the eastern, southeastern and southern parts of the house. However, green and its shades are especially recommended. Brown colors are dark and heavy. Meanwhile, green colors bring a feeling of rest, relaxation and harmony to the room.
FIRE
Associated with the energy of the element fire are the colors red, orange, pink and their shades. Feng shui recommends using these colors in the southern, southwestern and northeastern parts of the house. However, it should be remembered that these colors should be avoided in the kitchen.
