Master the 5 Feng Shui Elements
Close to 3,000 years ago, the Chinese established the order of the five elements; wood, earth, fire, water, and metal that describe all phenomena and properties of the universe. Each element is designed to help invoke a particular mood and achieve a goal.
Considering residential fengshui is the science of harmony, the ideal design should include a perfectly-balanced combination of all 5 elements. If you lack some of the features the elements represent, you need to maximize the presence of those particular elements.
To increase the force of fire in your interior design, you can choose orange, red, and triangular objects, combined with wood details. For those looking to strengthen the power of water, which represent money and career, then it is always a good idea to use blue and green shades. Be sure to go for rounded and wavy things to your décor as well to reap maximum benefits from residential fengshui.
