How to use the principles, techniques and design rules of feng shui in choosing the best paint color for the bedroom, bathroom and living room. Hopefully these tips can be useful for you.

bedroom

Each bedroom into the most comfortable place, where you can relax and release the fatigue. Many people who want their bedroom into a romantic place, or places where all family members can sleep together. Common mistakes that usually happens is, some people paint their bedroom walls a light to eliminate the problem by bagua chart / Pa Kua chart, the systematic division of the house area into several sections / section, each section consisting of: family, children, relationship (harmony of relationship), career, health, fame, money / wealth, earth, science, etc.

For example, If an artist’s bedroom in the position of fame section, the artist might be tempted to paint the bedroom with a red color to enhance his fame. I’m sure the artist is not able to sleep in the bedroom is red? You know why? because it is included in the color red Which, while sleep is Yin. Maybe better if the artist do a few things like: putting a pillow, doll, or a red picture frame in her bedroom, and paint the room with the colors are more soothing shade.

Another possible way to choose the color of the bedroom is to choose colors that can improve the quality of the elements / elements of your birth. As is known, the science of feng shui element grouping / elements of human birth into several parts, water, wood, fire, earth and metal. Someone element / dominant element is water may feel comfortable being in the bedroom is blue ( pale blue or navy blue), but the effect of color in the bedroom might be causing people to be less dynamic. Someone with the dominant element of water can improve the quality of life by adding some color to balance the elements / elements dominant, for example, for wood green, red or pink for fire, yellow / orange / brown for earth, and the color white / silver / gold for the metal.

Choosing a color for a child’s bedroom may be a bit more complicated. Most parents want to use a pale color ( pale ) or pastel colors including Yin color category with a view to increase the value of the element / element of their children, but to be remembered by the parents is: that the child’s room is a place for kids to sleep well as a place to play.

Coloring child’s bedroom with a dominant color or pale pastels will make your child always wanted to get out of the room when outside hours of rest / sleep, if children are forced to stay inside the room, it will disrupt the growth or development of creative ideas of the child. Playing for children is part of the process of development, play will sharpen the intelligence and creativity.

Solutions that can be done is to combine the color of the soft walls (pale / pastel ) with complementary accessories room (carpets, dolls, toys, desk, desk lamp, etc.) that color contrast. Another thing you can do is create a play area in rooms with room partition, so that children can play while resting in his bedroom.

bathroom

Like the bedrooms, bathrooms are also supposed to be a place filled with tranquility. For most people who are busy, spending time while bathing bathroom is the most calm and pleasant. Coloring the bathroom walls with pleasant colors should also be undertaken. When you choose a color for your bathroom walls, then think about the people who will use the bathroom. What are the basic elements of their birth ( fire? Water? Ground? Wood? Or metal? ). Be sure to choose colors that can improve the quality of their elements. It must be remembered also, that bathing is an activity related to the elements Ying, and choose a color that best suits the Ying elements. The last part of the arrangement of the bathroom is to reduce the effect / negative energies from the toilet area by adding one of the colors in the elements / elements of earth, such as yellow, orange or brown.

Living Area

The first rule when choosing a color for the living area ( which includes the living area are: living room, lounge, family room and dining room ) is: Should the entire family feel comfortable with the color. All family members should feel comfortable with the chosen color.. Each color will provide a kind of vibration, as well as lights that can provide dramatic effect, the effect of color, too. Each family member in your home will give a reaction or a different opinion concerning the effects of daramtis or vibration caused by the color of the room.

For example, if your element is earth, and without discussing it with family members and then you decide to paint the dining room wall that originally pure white color becomes light yellow color ( bright yellow ), then the effect you will see your daughter who has an element / metal dominant element suddenly became quiet at dinner time.

Your daughter is not stubborn or challenging the results of your work on the dining room wall, but what happens actually is: the dining room wall color is initially white and then turns into bright yellow to make your daughter feel unable to cope with a wrong thing that suddenly occurred him. This may sound strange to you, as strange to me that suddenly feels less enthusiastic when entering the area / room whose walls are dominated by yellow or brown.

Think carefully about the utilization of space in the living area (living room, lounge, family room, and dining room ) is, by which I mean to what activities are the rooms you use. For example, if you like to hold a banquet / party room dining or living room, then use the family room / living room equipped with fireplace ( fireplace ) to enjoy a quiet evening with a book, then watch all your habits are when it determines the color scheme (color scheme) between rooms.

The parties conducted in a room dominated by the colors of Yin ( Yin is soft colors, some say dark colors ) will taste bland and will be remembered as the party that feels long but boring. You will also find it hard to concentrate on your books if the family room wall color is too dominated by the color of Yang ( Yang is a warm color, some say the color of light )

Living room are painted with bright yellow color and accessories complement the room bright red or purple ( violet ) probably will make the room the scenery looks very bad and incoherent impressed. You also can fall asleep while reading the book if the color of your wall space is dominated by beige color ( brownish gray ) and pastel colors. Always try to balance between both ( Yin and Yang ) in the selection of color in every living area.

Finally I just want to say.. any room, whether the bedroom, bathroom, or in your home living area ( living room, lounge and family room ), if the paint color selection is done properly and carefully will make a very noticeable difference. A striking difference will be felt by the people or family members who are at home.

By choosing paint colors that match the rules of feng shui to the room walls, you and all family members will find a condition where you will sleep better, enjoy a bath or soak your bathroom, the frequency of activities to dinner with a more frequent occurred, and relationships more harmonious family members have to each other.
