According to feng shui colors specifications, colours should not be used randomly but according to what they represent.
Each one of the five elements, water, wood, fire, earth and metal are represented by different colours and that allow us to create feng shui colors based harmony. We will detail the colors
each one of the elements represent through the next lines in order to help you choosing the right colors for your home or office decoration as well as the look for harmony within
anything involving the use of colors.
The element water, according to feng shui colors representation chart, is represented by the colors blue and black and all their shades. This means that if, for example, you need to add more of
the water element in a room, you could do so by adding these colours to it.
Next, and according to feng shui colors spectrum, wood is represented by all shades of green. Therefore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], by painting a room green or adding green objects you would be including more
wood in it. The next element, fire, is represented by red, pink and maroon and adding any of these colors within a space would be as adding that element.
The last two elements symbolized by feng shui colors are earth and metal. The feng shui element earth is represented by the color orange, yellow, and brown. And the element metal is
represented by color white, silver, gray and gold. Using any of the colours within these last two groups would add more of the element which they represent.
A house position also determines the color which we should ideally use on its exterior. A house facing south should be white, gray or blue, facing SW should be in red or earth shades, facing west should be in blue or green or if it is facing north it should have green shades or red. A house facing NE should be painted in earth shades or red, and if it is either facing east or SE it should be in metal or earth shades.
Before using Feng shui in your home you need to ensure that your walls are prepared correctly. The tools and materials used for patching a wall are very important in terms of ease of use and satisfactory results. Choose a good six or four inch putty knife. A good putty knife will have a medium flexibility, it should flex slightly when pressed against a wall. As a rule most patching compounds that dry quickly are difficult to sand. I recommend standard wallboard ( taping ) joint compound for patching wallboard (drywall) or plaster. A mudd tray or a clean flat board with a straight edge will also be needed.
Patch dings, gouges and dents by scooping a small amount of compound onto the putty knife. Place the knife on the wall at about 45 degrees and about 4 or 5 inches from the damaged area. Pull the knife across the damaged area with a steady pressure. Scrape the excess compound off the knife by pulling it across the edge of a board or mudd tray. Make two more passes across the area, removing the excess from the knife after each pass. Let the patch dry.
