Feng Shui for Your Bedroom Color
Choosing a color trend for your bedroom is all about creating a
positive personal space that would reflect your most intimate thoughts
and desires. Your bedroom color sets your mood and feelings and may even
affect your decisions.
Unappealing bedroom colors can make you distasteful toward the room,
thus making you limit the time you spend inside it. Hence, it is vital
that the colors of your bedroom reflect your inner self and make you
feel relaxed and comfortable.
Some interior designers advise that color schemes for your bedroom
should be patterned to the bed itself. The bed, in a sense, serves as
your personal throne and everything else in the bedroom should be shaped
to amplify this throne. ‘Everything else’ here includes your bedroom
color.
If you think about it, it actually seems easier to pick a good bed
and go to the hardware store to find a matching wall color than to do
otherwise. In fact, most paint retailers will even offer to fabricate a
color that matches a particular color in the bed design. Feng Shui
experts say that any bedroom color scheme should consist of 3-5 color
elements. Various tips are available online to help you decide what
shades go well together but it is still up to your own taste.
Without the decors and furniture, the walls will account for
approximately 60-75% of the total space in your bedroom. In addition,
because wall space gives the largest amount of color to your bedroom, it
is essential to take time in finalizing your wall color choices.
According to Feng Shui, it would do us well to choose color schemes that
slightly oppose our own characters and personalities. For instance, if
you exhibit a fiery or aggressive personality, it is best to color your
wall a calm and serene shade such as cream, mild brown, or some shades
of blue and green. The amount of fire in your character should determine
the weight of the shade. If you want to incorporate your favorite fiery
colors into your room, you can do so through the decorations, trim, and
carpeting. This idea of course springs from the Yin Yang philosophy of
balance and temperance. Because color, in Feng Shui, is one of the
easiest ways to shift the energy in your space, you should be careful in
balancing the colors to create a harmonious home. Each color is an
expression of one of the Five Feng Shui Elements—Fire, Earth, Metal,
Water, and Wood. Choose the Feng Shui colors corresponding to the energy
you need and incorporate them into your bedroom through the wall color,
furnishings, and other décor items. Colors are nourishing and
uplifting. The more harmonious colors you absorb through the day, the
more positive your sense of being will be. |
