Although the main color of the living room is not the main factor in feng shui arrangement, the correct color choice can add to the feng shui of the living room. Below, let's take a look at what colors are good for the living room walls with the online feng shui network of Huayi.

What color is good for the feng shui of the living room wall?

1. The living room facing east should use yellow

The living room facing east should use yellow. The east belongs to wood in the five elements, which is the place where wood energy is strong. According to the theory of the five elements' generation and control, wood controls earth as wealth, meaning that earth is the wealth of wood, and yellow is the representative color of "earth". Based on this feng shui theory, if the living room faces east, the color scheme of the living room walls should mainly use yellow. When choosing paint, wallpaper, and furniture such as sofas and combination cabinets for the living room, attention should be paid to the application of yellow tones, whether deep or light, depending on the owner's preference. As long as this color is used, it can bring wealth and prosperity.

2. The living room facing south should use white

The living room facing south should use white. The south belongs to fire in the five elements, which is the place where fire energy is strong. According to the theory of the five elements' generation and control, fire controls metal as wealth, because white is the representative color of "metal". Based on this feng shui theory, if we want to enhance the wealth energy of the living room facing south, the main color should be white. In addition, since the south is always a place of strong fire energy, using cool colors like white can effectively reduce the heat of fire.

3. The living room facing west should use green

The living room facing west should use green. The west belongs to metal in the five elements, which is the place where metal energy is strong. Metal controls wood as wealth, meaning that wood is the wealth of metal, and green is the representative color of "wood". Therefore, if the living room faces west, using soft green tones for decoration can bring wealth and prosperity.

4. The living room facing north should use red

The living room facing north should use red for good feng shui. The north belongs to water in the five elements, which is the place where water energy is strong. Water controls fire as wealth, so to enhance the wealth energy of the living room facing north, warm colors such as red, purple, and pink should be chosen. Thus, the walls, furniture, and floor of the living room should primarily use these three colors.

5. Feng shui of the background wall color of the living room facing north-south

The direction of the main window of the living room represents the direction of the living room. A north-south orientation is a south-facing living room, which should use white as the main color. South belongs to fire, and fire controls metal as wealth; thus, it is most suitable to use cold-colored white for decoration.

It is appropriate to use yellow for the background wall on the west side, as yellow distinguishes the background wall while coordinating with the overall color of the living room. As the saying goes: Yellow likes green, yellow likes green. These two colors naturally match.

6. Feng shui of the background wall color of the living room sofa

The background wall color of the living room sofa should use dark colors. If the background wall color is too dark or has too much black, it will give people a heavy feeling, leading to depression, pessimism, and lack of motivation.

What color is good for the feng shui of the living room?

(1) The living room is in the center of the house

The living room in the center of the house is accessible to all rooms, known as a "returning house" in feng shui. Its advantage is convenient access, but its disadvantage is that the "qi" (energy) is easily lost.

The center of the house belongs to earth in the five elements. Currently, it is the eighth period of the lower era, and the eighth white star enters the central palace, meaning that the living room in the center of the house is easier to accumulate wealth. Except for the fifth yellow star flying into the central palace in the current year, we can place more red furniture in the living room to enhance the wealth.

(2) The living room is in the northeast of the house

The east represents sunlight. A living room in the northeast of the house represents vitality and health. In the five elements, the east belongs to wood, so some plants can be placed. Since it faces the morning sun, we can consider using light green as the main color. If there are more female residents in the house, we can also use lavender as a complementary color.

(3) The living room is in the southeast of the house

The southeast has more gentle energy. From the perspective of feng shui, it represents thought and learning, belonging to wood in the five elements. Therefore, if the living room is in the southeast of the house, we can consider planting some bamboo or small bonsai. The curtains can prioritize designs with bamboo patterns, but large stone sculptures and dried flowers should not be placed.

(4) The living room is in the south of the house

A living room in the south of the house is a relatively good environment, as the sun shines from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., providing abundant sunlight that allows the living room to absorb a lot of positive energy. Therefore, we can make full use of this space to increase family warmth.

Consider using patterned wallpapers, red carpets, or red wooden decorations. However, mirrors should not be hung on the walls, as mirrors belong to metal in the five elements and may cause suspicion among family members.

(5) The living room is in the southwest of the house

In the next ten years, the southwest remains a place with more negative energy. A living room located here may trigger sad memories for the female head of the household. Therefore, we should prioritize using red furniture, and avoid placing family photos. In some cases, keeping goldfish, especially seven red goldfish, is recommended.

(6) The living room is in the west of the house

In the five elements, the west belongs to metal, and fire controls metal. The west is also the area of the young girl. I have visited many homes of young girls, and found that excessive red layouts in the living room can lead to early maturity of the daughter, lack of interest in studying, and eventually running away from home. Since the auspicious colors for the west in the five elements are apricot and cream white, we can use white series as the main color for the living room, and if there are patterns, they should be light-colored to maintain brightness.

(7) The living room is in the northwest of the house

If the living room is in the northwest of the house, this type of living room is called a "wealthy guest" living room. The northwest is also the power area, belonging to metal in the five elements. The curtains can be golden yellow with translucent apricot-colored thin curtains, which can enhance a sense of nobility and stimulate the metal element, making authority prominent and increasing the possibility of promotion.

(8) The living room is in the north of the house

The north represents the love life. For young people, when the living room is in the north of the house, it means a good love life. Love belongs to wood, and the north belongs to water. When warmed, it blooms. Therefore, in terms of color, we should not focus on one color. It is recommended to hang an abstract painting on the wall, and the furniture can use gray, black, and blue.

(9) The living room is in the northeast of the house

The northeast receives the least sunlight, so the size of the living room should not be too large. An excessively large living room in the northeast can cause negative energy to linger for a long time.

In layout, it is best to use red and yellow series. You can hang a clock on the wall, but wind chimes must not be hung.
