Your Guide To The Different Feng Shui
Elements
In this feng shui guide, we will be discussing the five different elements that make up everything around you
and by creating the perfect balance of these elements in your home, you can really create just the perfect living
atmosphere for you and your family at home.
The first of these feng shui elements is element earth. Things that can be used for decorating that is
associated with this element are ceramic pots, stones, and rocks. The dominating color of this element includes
various shades of yellow and sometimes shades of brown. When decorating your living area with this element in mind,
we want to decorate it with some fire element. These two combinations of elements gives a good feng shui positive
energy flow.
The fire element of feng shui are represented by things such as candles, an outdoor firepit, or an indoor
fireplace. The dominating colors of this element would be orange, red, and dark yellow. When trying to feng shui
your living space with this element in mind, you want to make sure that you avoid using it near things that are
based on the water element as these two are competing forces and does not complement each other well. On the other
hand a good element to go with fire would either be the earth based element or the wood element.
Let’s continue our elemental feng shui guide with the wood element. As you might have already guessed, this
element is dominated by nature’s plants and so the primary things that represent this element would be trees,
flowers, bushes, and shrubs. This element is dominated by the color brown. The best compliment to this element
would be the water element while anything that is based on the metal element should not be displayed next to the
wood element.
The water element is the perfect element to be used with the wood element or metal element. Shades of blue are
the main colors of this element and things such as indoor aquariums or water features and outdoor ponds and
fountains are some of the things that represents the water element in feng shui. By all means, you should never
place any water feature next to a fire element based feature as this causes things to look very strange and does
not a promote a sense of tranquility.
The last type of feng shui element that we will be discussing will be the metal element. Colors of silver, gray,
white, and even shades of black comes to dominate this element. Things such as metal chimes, outdoor furniture, and
metal vases are some of the things that represents the metal element. When decorating your living space with this
element. A complimentary element that goes along with the metal element would be the earth element.
These are the five feng shui elements that you should take into consideration when decorating your living space
and try to make sure that you do not select elements that are competing with one another as this causes an
un-uniform flow of energy. Stay tuned for our next feng shui guide.
