			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.designshell.com/articles/decorate-with-style-decorate-feng-shui.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.designshell.com');"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-78" title="fengshui bagua mirror" src="http://12chairs.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/fengshui-bagua-mirror-300x269.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="269" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It is said that the way your house looks represents you. We spend a lot of time at home and this is why it should be a place where we enjoy staying and which fills us with <strong>positive thoughts</strong> and <strong>energy</strong>. This is exactly what<strong> Feng Shui</strong> does, it helps us feel better and fills us with <strong>positive energy</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em><strong>Feng Shui </strong></em></span>is an ancient Chinese knowledge that examines the natural and build <strong>environment</strong>. Feng Shui literally means <strong>wind</strong> and <strong>water</strong> and it is an amalgamation of ancient Chinese mathematics, interior design, architecture and simple rules of good housekeeping. It is a popular practice that is being applied to home and work places in order to <strong>create a balanced environment</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em><strong>Feng Shui</strong></em></span> has quickly evolved from a new age trend to a widely spread decorating phenomenon between professional decorators and amateurs alike. Decorating in the <strong>Feng Shui style</strong> involves the movement of energy and moving blocked areas so that the energy moves at a balanced pace around the entire home. To be able to move the energy professionals and amateurs use many types of tools such as: <em>mirrors, water, plants, color, sound, scent,</em> etc.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Colours in Feng Shui.</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In China decorating with <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>red</strong></span> brings <strong>good luck</strong>. Red is said to be the only <strong>color of good fortune</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In Feng Shui <span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>yellow</strong></span> is considered an <strong>Imperial color</strong> that many Feng Shui masters make use of and some of them consider it more beneficial than red.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Green</span></strong> is considered to be the color of <strong>freshness</strong>, <strong>peace</strong> and <strong>growth</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Darker decorative colors</strong> can be either relaxing or depressing, <strong>light colors</strong> can be uplifting or annoying, extreme colors can be exhilarating or aggravating.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Wealth area and Family</strong></span> <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>area </strong></span>have as the main element <strong>wood</strong>. In Feng Shui you should decorate with plants which have healthy leaves. Silk plants are allowed but do<strong> NOT </strong>decorate with <em>dried plants</em> because they symbolize <em>ill health</em>. It is recommended to add some <strong>blue</strong> items to this area because it represents water and <strong>water helps wood to grow</strong>. In Feng Shui, decorating with <strong>fish</strong> is a symbol of <strong>wealth</strong>. An i<strong>nwards pointed ship laden with cargo</strong> is symbolic of excellent opportunities for <em>new sources of income</em>. In Feng Shui birds such as <strong>robin </strong>or <strong>oriole</strong> and the <strong>3-legged toad</strong> are <em>symbols of wealth</em>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Fame and Reputation area</strong></span> has <strong>fire </strong>as the main element so decorating with <strong>red </strong>is a good idea. Decorating with red and fire elements brings luck and recognition. Fire is represented by <strong>light</strong> so many fixtures, floor lamps, ceiling fans and candles are good choices for decorating. Adding the element of <strong>wood</strong> to this area helps because it fuels fire according to the element&#8217;s creative cycle.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Health, Relationship and Knowledge areas</strong></span> have as the main element <strong>earth</strong>. When choosing colors for this area focus on <strong>orange</strong>, <strong>red</strong>, <strong>yellow</strong> and even <strong>brown</strong>. In Feng Shui it is said that <strong>fire produces earth</strong> so you should add some light and red to the mix of earthy colors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Children, Creativity area and Helpful People area</strong></span> have <strong>metal</strong> as the main element. Decorating with <strong>metallic wind chimes</strong> calling in the energy or other metals like wrought iron are a nice choice. In Feng Shui <strong>silver</strong> and <strong>gold</strong> bring good fortune too. Recommended colors for these areas are the mettalic ones, <strong>white</strong> and also <strong>earthy tones</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>The Career area</strong></span> has as the main element <strong>water</strong>. Thus decorating with too much water brings negativity. Water in small amounts such as a <em>fountain</em>, an <em>aquarium </em>or a <em>painting with water</em> is excellent. <strong>Black</strong> and <strong>white</strong> are the best colors for this area. The <strong>Chinese Dragon</strong> (Dom Jang) is a popular Feng Shui symbol wich brings good fortune and works well with a water fountain improving your career area.</p>
