It's very important in Feng Shui to have painted color on your walls in your home and office. Even if you're renting you might be able to make a deal with your landlord that you'll paint the walls back to white when you leave.
Feng Shui is about bringing aspects of nature into your living and working environments. I'm sure you can't disagree that our world is a colorful place. Just think of green grass, blue-green oceans, colorful flowers, the vibrant yellow sun and so on.
It's great to bring these amazing colors of nature indoors and paint them on your walls. Color has been known to improve our moods, stimulate our minds, increase our productivity at work, and even create better physical and mental health. Since color is connected to our energy (chi), the application of color is one of the important adjustments used in Feng Shui.
If you're afraid of painting colors on your walls, start slowly. Add an accent wall to a room and then gradually add more and more color to each room of your home or workspace. Adding color to your environment will give you a colorful life!
