Understanding how to use the fire element of Feng Shui when decorating a home can be a blessing in disguise. The colors that represent the fire element of Feng Shui can bring energy and passion to any room of the home. The fire element has the most energy of yang. Over doing any of the fire elements and colors can over stimulate the life force or Chi bringing in ambition, impatience, anger, impulsiveness, and burnout. No one needs any of these life forces in their homes. This is due to the fact the home is a place of relaxation and comfort.
Feng Shui Fire Element Facts
Fire in Feng Shui represents the southern direction. While fire represents the south, it makes us think of warmth. Placing fire in the wrong areas of the home or a room can lead to undesirable events in the home and in life.
When placing anything that is a fire element related, it should be placed in the northeast and south east areas of the room, home or yard. This will allow the fire element to flow in the right direction to create a harmonious balance of warmth, passion, and high energy.
Fire colors are red, orange, strong yellow, purple, and pink. These colors can be found in the flames of fire. Using the fire element in the right way can bring help with relationships, fame, and money into your home and life.
Most people find these colors are too bold for paint choices for walls. The fire element colors can be added as accent colors in the northeast and southwest areas. For instance, throw pillows, vases, light bulbs, and lamp shades are excellent choices for using the colors of fire in accenting any room of the home.
Just remember when using candles as a fire element, keep in mind curtains, children, and pets because one little accident can turn the fire element into a disastrous ordeal. To use unlit candles in cases like this, use the fire element colors to create yang in the room.
Let's not forget using the fire element outside in the yard. Placing plants and other yard decorations in the same manner as you would inside the home can help set a relaxing area outside for entertaining. The yard area of the home should be treated in the same manner of any inside living space when it comes to decorating with Feng Shui.
