Feng Shui Paint Colors

You may want to abide by the principles of Feng Shui when you decorate your home if you believe that colors can affect your mood or the atmosphere of your home. Different colors represent different feelings or emotions. In Feng Shui some colors are thought to be ideal for bedrooms while others are right for bathrooms or other rooms, depending on what the colors represent.



Red
In Feng Shui red is a color meant for rooms where a lot of activity goes on. Red is said to increase the pulse rate and brain activity. So if you have a game room or a den where you like to be active, paint it red. Red is also used to intensify emotion and stimulate the senses, so it is thought to help your love life if it is used in the bedroom. However, because red is such a strong color, use it sparingly. Paint only one wall red, or use the color to accent the room.

Yellow
Yellow is a favorite color in Feng Shui because it is said to get rid of negativity, raise energy, lift your spirits and help focus the mind. Yellow is an excellent color for almost any room in the home. It is ideal for the living room, bathroom, hallway, office or den. But avoid yellow for your bedroom because the color is too energetic and might make relaxing difficult.

Green
Green is used for calming in Feng Shui. Green is supposed to be reassuring and make you feel safe. Green also helps reduce your stress level and reduces headaches. Choose green for your bedroom, bathroom or living room. However, green is not a good paint choice for home offices or anywhere you don't want to feel too relaxed.

Blue
Blue is another soothing color to use in just about any room of the home. Blue is said to reduce tension and stress, so choose it for your bedroom. This relaxing color is also a good choice for a spa bathroom. Because blue is supposed to help you focus and communicate effectively, the color is ideal for a home office as well.
