Feng Shui, Color & Shabby Chic
 Because in Shabby Chic we work mostly with white... and white is a Yang color (masculine), we need to add touches of Yin (the feminine) to bring-in balance in any room. |  In Feng Shui colors have many important associations and each determine their effect in each room. Colors influence the light frequencies present in your home and can change the "chi" energy. Each direction of a house is associated with some specific colors that can work to enhance and create the right energy's flow in the home. When decorating a Shabby Chic room or a whole shabby chic house - because the main color used is white- selecting the right colors for the walls and for your accent pieces become extremely important in order to help create and balance your home's chi. In Feng Shui the house is divided in eight directions. Finding the direction of the room you want to decorate is important if you want to enhance, maintain or calm its chi energy with its corresponding color |
