Feng Shui

Feng Shui is all about balance. The balance of yin and yang is very important to the whole aura of a room. Yin is dark or calming colors such as blue and green and purple hues. Rooms with too much yin are dark and sparsely furnished. Yang is bright and exciting colors like reds, oranges, pinks, and yellows. Rooms with too much Yang can be overwhelming, cluttered, and cause headaches. However, when one balances the two forces they acheive the balance of energy and calm that they are internally craving. There are other aspects to feng shui, such as paying attention to proper lighting, materials used in the room, and directions that furniture is facing, and the general flow of a room or house. The room pictured below is an example of a room that follows the rules of feng shui.
