Color is a major factor affecting people’s mood, health and fortune. Therefore, color matching is particularly important in wall decoration. Feng Shui requires choosing reasonable colors according to different living groups, different rooms, orientations, etc. For example: in a sunny north room, warm colors such as yellow and orange will give people a warmer and more comfortable feeling; in bedrooms facing the south, avoid using red, black, blue and other colors, and it is best to use warm colors such as pink and light yellow. Different colors will have different effects on the human body and the entire house.For example, red represents enthusiasm and excitement, which will stimulate people’s energy and add a joyful atmosphere at home; while blue represents calmness and quietness, which can make people feel calm. For people who are easily irritable, using blue walls can be effective some relief.

There is also knowledge in the placement of wall decorations, and you need to pay attention to the location and direction. For example, clocks or wall paintings must be placed in the center, while photos, mirrors and other items must be placed on the left and right sides of the entire wall. In addition, the scenery reflected by the mirror cannot be directly facing the bedside, as this will have a negative impact on the health of family members.

In Feng Shui, the door you open into a house represents how energy enters your home and life. The front door is the “air port”. The wall in front of the door is the primary gateway to the aura of the house, and its decoration is closely related to the aura of the house. It is best not to use dark or cold-toned paint on the wall in front of the door. Instead, choose bright or warm-toned paint. At the same time, mirrors should not be hung on the wall in front of the door. Such items can easily disturb the aura of the house. The wall in front of the door can be decorated with some plants or water features, which not only beautifies the house, but also purifies the air, regulates people’s mood, and thus improves the aura of the house.
Tips
- The corners of the wall should not be too sharp to avoid hurting people;
- The bedroom should not be adjacent to the bathroom;
- Don’t point the mirror directly at the bed to avoid marriage troubles;
- When making changes or decorations at home, you should choose a good and auspicious day to do it, which will help attract wealth and energy.
