FENG SHUI COLORS:
Find out the meaning of colors and how
to use them successfully in your home.

Find out the best colors for
every room in your house.

Feng shui colors are extremely powerful and can literally transform a room instantly. Read on to decipher which colors are best for specific areas of the feng shui bagua, as well as each individual room.

Color is vibration. In feng shui basics I discussed how everything is alive and made of energy and that everything vibrates at a particular frequency. The same is true for feng shui colors — each color vibrates at its own unique frequency. Just as you and your home are connected through a multitude of overlapping energy fields, you are connected to the colors in your home in the same way.

Your home is the threshold between your inner reality and your outer reality. It can be used both to understand who you are now and to direct where you want to go in the future.

Along with feng shui and other environmental metaphysics, color psychology is a very simple yet powerful tool for creating your own reality. Color has a remarkable impact on your psychological and physical well-being. Once you begin to understand feng shui colors, you can in turn use them to your advantage — both as a metaphorical and literal instigator of positive change in your life.

Follow your intuition and use your best judgment. Use colors that you love and that energize and inspire you. If you are told that purple represents abundance but you hate purple, then do not use it. Use a color that represents abundance to you.

Your intention is everything.

Feng shui colors, their meanings, and
where to best use them.

Red.

Color psychology suggests that red is activating, stimulating, passionate, exciting, powerful, and expanding.

In feng shui, red represents: the fire element (great for transformation); richness and luxury; and passion, love and romance. Therefore, red is a wonderful color to use in the abundance/prosperity, fame/reputation, and relationships/love area of the feng shui bagua.

Red can be used in the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Earthy reds are appropriate for the bedroom.

Orange.

In psychology, orange is very stimulating, active, cheerful and sociable. It is less arousing than red and more pleasantly stimulating.

Like red, orange represents the fire element. Because it is more social and less intense than the red, orange is a better color to use in interior spaces. Use orange predominantly in the fame/reputation area of the feng shui bagua. You may also use orange in the abundance/prosperity, and relationships/love areas.

It is one of the best feng shui colors for the kitchen, dining room, and living room because of its appetizing and social qualities. If used in the bedroom, make sure it is an earthy orange.
