Diwali is right around the corner, and for the most of us this festival translates into an excuse for a home makeover. With Diwali coming in early this year, we’re sure you haven’t had the time to plan a complete overhaul. But you don’t have to stress anymore! HashtagDecor ensures you do up your home just right in crunch time.
This festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil, calls for good energies into homes and using the right Feng Shui colors couldn’t be more fitting on this auspicious occasion.
We know for a fact that we all respond to colors in predictable ways and each color brings the desired Feng Shui energies to our home. Also, it’s the easiest way to bring change with little or no commitment.
Let’s find out which color is best Feng Shui for your home and how can you easily incorporate them in very little time:
- Yellow :
The color yellow wakes up any room like the rising sun. This cheerful color brightens every space, spreading warmth and happiness. Any dull room will benefit from a yellow decor scheme to compensate for the lack of sunlight.
Paint can seem too tedious right now. Simply pick a prominent wall and paint it with this bright, happy color.
- Red :
The color red carries the energy of the fire Feng Shui element. Fire being a symbol of divine energy, it can be creative but if not used right, it can be destructive. It’s an element to be used with caution. When used cautiously, a balanced red Feng Shui color scheme signifies luck and luxury. Rather than going whole hog with red furnishing or a red wall, you can use the color red in details or accessories.
If red seems too intense for your home or work space, use other fire elements of Feng Shui – bright yellow, orange, pink or purple.
- Green :
The color green belongs to the wood element of Feng Shui that signifies renewal, fresh energy and new beginnings. It brings healing Feng Shui vibrations from mother nature, calming your nerves and balancing your body to further nourish your health.
To create a good Feng Shui house with a green color scheme, it is important that you use at least 3 different shades of green in order to have its healing effect work its magic. This contemporary living space represents the perfect décor scheme that uses different shades of the wood element.
If having a spring green couch is a little too bold for your house, you can always find a beautiful green paint for a prominent wall and compliment it with a vibrant wall art that carries different shades of green.
- Orange :
This social color promotes lively conversations and good times into your house. Borrow this warm color from nature’s palette to cozy up your space. The vibrant, happy color is ideal for the living space, kid’s room, dining room or any space that needs a pulsating energy.
- White :
This color that belongs to the Metal Feng Shui element is easy to intentionally incorporate in your décor to create good Feng Shui energies. The color carries crisp, clear and clean energies that soothe your psyche and spread healing Feng Shui vibrations throughout the house. Bonus – It seamlessly blends with any color!
- Blue :
This magnificent color ranges from subtle sky blue to serene blue-green color to a deep indigo of the crown chakra. This water Feng Shui element brings in the energy of calm and overall sense of relaxation. Light blue signifies harmonious expansion while a deep blue evokes the energy of deep calm and serenity.
However, an all-blue décor isn’t good Feng Shui. You can bring in the needed blue with a prominent wall or art depicting blue, just like this room does;
You’d agree, crunch time is no excuse to not recreate your space on occasion of Diwali. So buckle up and explore the creative decorator in you.
