Feng Shui is an ancient art born more than 3,000 years ago. This art centers on finding a balance in our lives and creating decor to optimize that balance. One of the most important aspects of Feng Shui are the five elements. These elements are Wood (green), Fire (red), Water (black or blue), Earth (brown or yellow), and Metal (white, gold or silver). When balancing a room, personalized bedding is the perfect place to add a little Yin or Yang.
Wood (green) is all about renewal and rebirth. What better choice could there be for your personalized bedding? Along with the color green, wood can be represented with live plants and trees. It is important not to overdue the green theme and plaster all things green in very corner. Feng Shui is about subtle balance. A green throw pillow here or throw blanket there can also help to balance your Qi.
Fire (red) is a potent Feng Shui remedy. One must be careful though, not to overdue the fire. When real fire is not available, the perfect solution is a vibrant red color in the room. Personalized bedding accessories like throw pillows are the perfect way to add strength you your Earth element. Adding just one throw pillow to a bed or sitting chair is enough to bring Fire into your room.
Water (black or blue) in Feng Shui is all about movement, prosperity and wealth and is one of the most powerful Feng Shui elements. When a room is unable to have real moving water, personalized bedding is the perfect solution. A babbling brook, roaring ocean or calm lake, these water scenes are all full of movement and therefore great water healing. The more realistic the bedding or accent, the better stored your Qi will be.
Earth (brown or yellow) is at the core of the feeling of grounding, nurturing, closeness and togetherness. This important element lends a bond to relationships and families. In Feng Shui, Earth is most often used to ground the Fire Element. If you find you have too much red in your room, try using a brown throw blanket or throw pillow to rebalance the Qi. Personalized photo bedding of adobe sculptures, jade figurines and terra cotta are great Earth choices.
Metal (white, gold, or silver) reestablishes balance in Feng Shui. One of the most used remedies, metal can appear just about anywhere and help bring the Yin and the Yang together again. Personalized bedding with white, gold or silver edging or accent is the perfect way to remedy your imbalances.
Feng Shui is an ancient art of life. Cycles of productivity and destruction surround us all and the five elements are constantly working to recenter our lives and rebalance our Qi. Wood, Fire, Water, Earth and Metal can all be represented through colors and shapes. With the heart of Feng Shui being about feeling and personal comfort ability, personalized bedding is the perfect choice for adding a little of any element to your life.
