The Feng Shui Taboos of Living Room Colors
Selecting colors based on the direction of the living room
The main color of the living room is not the main factor in feng shui arrangement. The most important thing is the balance of energy achieved through the layout and the mutual generation and control of the five elements. However, selecting the correct color according to the direction of the living room relative to the entire house can have a positive effect on feng shui.
If the living room is located in the southwest or northeast direction, use yellow tones;
If it is located in the southeast or east direction, use green tones;
If it is located in the north, use blue tones;
If it is located in the south, use red tones;
If it is located in the northwest or west direction, use white, silver, or gold tones.
Effects of different living room colors on the residents.
Red
Red: If there is a lot of red in the living room, the Chinese always consider red as an auspicious color, but in Korean customs, red cloth in the living room represents death. These are just human customs, but if there is too much red, it can overburden the eyes and easily make people irritable. Therefore, red should only be used as a small part of the color scheme, not as the main color. However, temples are different from homes.
White
White: In the color matching of the living room walls, off-white is the best matching color. Ivory, white, these three colors are most suitable for the visual nerve because sunlight is a white series representing light. People's hearts and eyes also need light to balance. Moreover, the white series of the living room is best matched with furniture, and the white series also represents hope.
Dark Blue
Dark Blue: If the whole living room is dark blue, over time, the living room will gradually become gloomy, and everyone will become passive, and the family will lack peace. You can try adjusting: paint the walls blue and choose white sofas and coffee tables. This not only helps to soothe the nerves, but also brings a subtle Mediterranean style. Of course, you should also consider the orientation of the living room mentioned earlier.
Pink
Pink: Painting the living room pink is the most dangerous color. Pink easily makes people irritable, leading to quarrels, arguments, and frequent conflicts; especially newlyweds, who may think it is very romantic, but after a while, their moods may develop inexplicable anger, causing endless arguments over trivial matters, eventually leading to divorce. In today's society, the high divorce rate is largely due to this factor. Therefore, designers should be careful and avoid using this color, as it can even cause mental illness.
Purple
Purple: If there is too much purple in the living room, although it can be said that the room is filled with purple fragrance, the red series contained in purple can emit a glaring sensation, making the people in the house feel helpless. You can pair it with green plants and white home decorations to make the living room more fashionable and fresh.
Yellow
Yellow: If the living room is painted yellow, it can make people feel depressed, anxious, and have an indescribable sense of fear and anxiety, which fills the brain with multiple illusions. People with nervous disorders are especially sensitive to this color.
Green
Green: If the living room is painted green, it can also make the residents gradually lose their willpower. Contrary to what is generally believed, green is not the natural green, but rather artificially mixed green, so it inevitably leads to a lifeless and dull indoor atmosphere without vitality.
Wood Color
Natural Wood Color: Natural wood color is the best tone! The natural color of wood can help people generate inspiration and wisdom, especially in the study area, where using natural wood color is the best choice. In summary, no color should be excessive, and it should be appropriate and moderate.
