Cool shades bring calm and restful feelings. Feng Shui teaches you to be careful of the colors around you, and make sure that any influence on you is for the positive. You are suppose to use cool relaxing colors in the bedroom, more energetic colors in the office or other work areas. Good color choices do not cost any more than poor color choices, so this is an area great for the frugal decorator. Angular lines and hard corners are shapes that are suppose to either be avoided or counter balanced.
Round shapes are more desirable and conducive to comfort and to a pleasant environment.
Furniture should be placed in the home so as to leave the space as open and airy as possible. For instance, you do not want to walk in the living room and face the back of your sofa. It is also about balance. The weight of your furniture should be equally balanced throughout the home, and very dark areas, or very light areas should be adjusted. It is considered negative to have a home where you open the front door and have a wall in front of you.
