Feng Shui Tips for Your Home

By Rebecca Kohout • August 28th, 2009

As a trained realtor in the art of Feng Shui, I find that the rules and suggestions for staging your home for sale merge perfectly with Feng Shui and maximizing the positive energy in your home. In this blog site I will be posting lots of ideas for improving the ‘chi’ or energy of your home and helping you decide which designs will bring you and your family wealth, health and happiness!

That said, I thought you might like to have this handy list of possible front door colors for your new home. Since painting the front door in bright colors is very popular in my neighborhood, it makes sense to choose a color that is appropriate for your location and compass direction position. Use the Five Elements for guidance so that your door will be in balance with the elemental properties of the chi in that specific sector.

I love to use this chart when I’m updating a home for better curb appeal in my real estate practice. My clients are so often amazed at how the color choice improves the chi while working with the existing house color!
.

South (Fire) = Burgundy, red, purple, or rose
Southwest (Earth) = Beige, brown or yellow
West (Metal) = Any of the metallic colors like gold, silver, or copper. Also, white.
Northwest (Metal) = Same as for West… gold, silver, copper or white.
North (Water) = Dark colors like black, charcoal gray, blue.
Northeast (Earth) = Beige, brown or yellow.
East (Wood) = Any of the green shades.
Southeast (Wood) = Any of the green shades.

Happy painting!
