Feng Shui Exterior Color

The feng shui exterior color of the home is just as important in this decorating technique as curing usual floor plans or poison arrows. Feng shui basis rests in the understanding of chi, or life force. Chi can run slowly, or rush quickly by; both affect the home and its inhabitants. Before finding the perfect feng shui exterior color for your home, survey the neighborhood and learn to "read the chi".

Animals and wildlife relay a lot of information about the chi of a neighborhood. Do you see healthy animals and pets? How about a lot of insects? For example, a friendly yellow Labrador that is well kept is a sign of loyalty and family. Do you spy plenty of mosquitoes instead? That may be a sign of gossipy neighbors or plenty of "buzz".

This may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised by how many people miss this obvious clue. Look for lush, vibrant and healthy plants that support growth. Sickly brown and dried up plants are a glaring sign of support dwindling or stagnant energy.

The final sign of a healthy neighborhood are the actual inhabitants of that neighborhood. Are the people friendly, cheerful and happy? Or are they suspicious and unhappy? Friendly people tend to demonstrate a higher quality of energy than do unhappy or negative individuals do.

No matter the energy of the neighborhood, one can still strive to enhance their own personal energy via the feng shui exterior color of their home. Before using the colors below, apply the ba gua (the octagon) to the property and see where the front door falls. Next, consider the following options:

What section does your home fall within on the street? For example, if you were to turn onto your street and lay down the ba gua, where would you find your house? Is it in the friends/benefactors section? Is so, use the appropriate colors that above. Is it in the fame area? Again, find the appropriate color in the chart.

If throwing the ba gua is impossible, or if you’re having trouble holding each life section in your mind’s eye, then simply focus on the home itself. To do so, start with the door. The door is usually in the benefactor or career section, so consider having a black or white door. Other colors that work very well for house also include:

• Gray
• White
• Black (can be used very effectively as a trim or accent color).
• Blue
• Green

Use any one of these colors has a base with a complimentary trim.

If it is impossible to change the exterior colors of the home, then use accent color choices wisely. Walk around the property while applying the concept of the ba gua and see where little improvements can be made. For example:

• Place or plant some red flowers in the fame area.
• Install a water fountain at the front of your door.
• Place some bushes around the property to provide a little shelter from fast moving chi.

As you walk around the property, keep an eye out for secret arrows (points) that are directed at the house. Since poison arrows are particularly detrimental, you may want to focus your attention there first. The point is, the feng shui exterior color of the house can be changed, if need be, or strengthen and empowered where it is appropriate.
