The Chinese practice of feng shui is all about creating a harmonious balance of energy and flow within your home. So, when it comes to your interiors, decorating according to Feng Shui will influence where you position furniture, how your home is laid out, the colours you use and what is hung on walls and where.
Typically, these choices are dictated by the five elements of feng shui: water, metal, fire, wood and earth.
According to feng shui, the colours you use in your bedroom should reflect the energy you want to manifest in the space. That is, use the elements to inspire your colour palette.
