As I wrote in my last blog, a harmonious home has all of the 5 Elements represented balanced so that one doesn’t overpower another. When a space is designed with all the elements represented in balance, there’s a feeling of peace and serenity throughout the home. It's not always possible, practical, nor desirable to have a physical representation of each element in every room: Water, Fire, Earth, Wood, Metal. The elements have corresponding colors, so a mix of the physical elements combined with representational colors of others will result in a composite balance.

As I wrote in my last blog, a harmonious home has
all of the 5 Elements represented balanced so that
one doesn’t overpower another. When a space is
designed with all the elements represented in
balance, there’s a feeling of peace and serenity
throughout the home.
It's not always possible, practical, nor desirable to
have a physical representation of each element in
every room: Water, Fire, Earth, Wood, Metal. The
elements have corresponding colors, so a mix of the
physical elements combined with representational
colors of others will result in a composite balance.
The color correspondents are as follows:
Earth-Yellow: In this bedroom, there is no
stone, but soft yellow walls, and the buttery
tone of the console satisfies the Earth
element.
Fire-Red: Lacking space for a fireplace, red
on the walls represents the Fire element.
Water-Black: Lacking a water view or fountain, black
complies with the Water element.

2. Wood-Green: Live plants bring in the life
necessary to fulfill the Wood element. Plants are
especially welcome in stark contemporary spaces
with a great deal of chrome, black, and white.
Metal-White:
Instead
of
stainless
appliances, white cabinetry and matching
appliances more than satisfies the Metal
element.
