The 5 elements
Within the philosophy of Feng Shui There are 5 vital elements; Fire, earth, water, metal and wood. To reach a balanced house and in balance, in the home there must be in balance the 5 elements without any dominating another.
To represent the water we have crystals, mirrors, miniature sources, fish tanks, waves and deep blue colors, we can also represent it with photographs or paintings of the sea. The representation of the fire comes from all appliance objects and that work through electricity, and as decorative elements also the pyramids represent the fire. In the range of colors we have orange and red tones. To represent the Earth element we have large furniture, such as beds, large booksellers, roperos or entertainment centers, as well as carpets. As for the colors we have brown, beige, terrible and yellow tones. To represent the metal element we have all the furniture made of metal, as well as the jewelry that we have at home, without neglecting the pipes, the gros and the showers, and on the side of the colors we have the color white and the silver tones. Finally, to represent the wood element are all natural elements, such as plants and flowers, as well as furniture made of wood, and for colors we have the entire range of brown colors.
The presence of all these elements must be well balanced in each room and pay attention to the fact that each area is designated to a purpose and must have a specific decoration, so we will reach an ideal balance according to the Feng Shui.
