it is excellent for use in the feng shui areas of east (health & family) and southeast (wealth & abundance) of your space, as water energy nourishes the wood element of these two areas. bring it in the form of wall color, art, or decor items.
gentle blue is an excellent feng shui choice for study, especially as a ceiling color. several studies have shown that children performed better under the blue-colored ceiling then under the regular white one.
light blue is also the feng shui color of harmonious expansion & gentle growth, while
darker blue evokes the feng shui energy of deep calm and serenity. depending on your feng hui priorities, you might want to introduce some deep blue elements into your bedroom to promote better sleep or a gentle playful aqua in the living room of a big, busy family.
deep blue should be used sparingly in the feng shui areas of south, northwest & west
areas of your space, and freely in the north, east & southeast. one of the most calming feng shui combinations is the combination of the blue and white colors, as it brings the energy of unlimited sky and happiness to one's space.

ReplyDeleteBlue is so calming. Though, I'm helping my boyfriend renovate his house and it looks like we're painting nearly every room a version of blue - I may be obsessed!
