It\u2019s complex, but the central theme is balance and harmony, and its primary goal is to assure good fortune for the people who inhabit and use the space. The main principle of feng shui is yin and yang; you need a good balance between feminine (yin) and masculine (yang) to promote a good flow of chi, which is essential to a happy and successful life. The two are dependent upon each other, although they\u2019re opposites, and discord is inevitable when one side outweighs the other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">In feng shui, there are five elements, each represented by their own colors, that make up everything:<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">\u2022 Wood<br \/>\n\u2022 Fire<br \/>\n\u2022 Earth<br \/>\n\u2022 Metal<br \/>\n\u2022 Water<\/p>\n<h2>What is Bagua?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">A bagua (pronounced \u201cbag-wha\u201d) is a feng shui energy map. It\u2019s an octagonal grid that contains all the symbols of the ancient oracle on which feng shui is based, called the I Ching. The bagua of your home can help you understand the relationships and connections between different areas and how they parallel your life experience. You can use a bagua to identify each space and then position specific items within the spaces to enhance their feng shui.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">\n<figure id=\"media-62200\" class=\"align-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/04\/Bagua.png\" alt=\"Yin and yang symbols that represent bagua and positive energy\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Using Feng Shui for Your Outdoor Living Space<\/h2>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Whether you spend a great deal of time outdoors or it\u2019s just on your way to your private space inside, it\u2019s important that you put the principles of feng shui into practice outside your home to help assure your success and well-being. If the outside of your home is negative, it will outweigh the good you do for your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/2014\/11\/5-ways-to-use-feng-shui-in-your-home-design.html\">indoor feng shui<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">You can apply feng shui principles in four easy steps:<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">\u2022 Exterior paint<br \/>\n\u2022 Front porches and doors<br \/>\n\u2022 Gardens<br \/>\n\u2022 Landscaping elements<\/p>\n<h2>1. Choose Your Exterior Paint<\/h2>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Ideally, your home will be in balance and harmony with its outdoor surroundings. While you may not be able to perfectly match your home with its environment, which is sometimes the case with restrictive homeowner associations or financial restraints, you can make small improvements that help restore balance and promote harmony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Examine the colors of the natural landscape and those of neighboring houses. The idea isn\u2019t to make your home disappear, but to make it work harmoniously through a subtle balance. Vibrant colors used as highlights, such as in window trim or other architectural details, can attract vibrant, positive energy. You\u2019ll also need to be mindful of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thoughtco.com\/associating-zodiac-sign-with-an-element-96033\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">birth element<\/a>, and the birth elements of everyone living in the home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-62201\" class=\"align-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/04\/Outdoor-paint.jpg\" alt=\"Yellow, blue, and red exterior paint colors that follow feng shui principles\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>2. Design Your Front Porch and Door<\/h2>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Often, the key to good feng shui lies in the front door. Your home gets its energy nourishment through its front door, so you want it to be strong and balanced. It has to promote the open flow of energy, and the color must be in harmony with the direction in which it opens. Use this chart to help you decide on the best possible front door color for feng shui.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Directional Colors for Good Energy<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Facing Direction<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Compatible Colors<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Incompatible Colors<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>East<\/td>\n<td>Green<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Black<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Blue<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>Red\/Orange<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">White<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Gray<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>South<\/td>\n<td>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Red\/Orange<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Purple<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Green<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>Brown\/Sandy Tones<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Black<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Blue<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>West<\/td>\n<td>White<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Gray<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Brown\/Sandy Tones<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Black<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Blue<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Red\/Orange<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>North<\/td>\n<td>Black<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Blue<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">White\/Gray<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Green<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Brown<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Sandy Tones<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\"><em>This color chart is based on the Five Element Color Theory and provided by Maureen Calamia at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luminous-spaces.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Luminous Spaces<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">You also need to ensure that your front door is always in good shape or you\u2019ll risk attracting negative energy. Make sure its paint isn\u2019t chipped or cracked, and keep it clean with the hinges oiled.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Create Balance in Your Garden<\/h2>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">If your garden employs the right feng shui principles, you\u2019ll attract even more positive vibes your way \u2013 and it\u2019ll be a beautiful place where you\u2019ll enjoy spending time. It\u2019s not whether you have a large space that counts, either; it\u2019s simply in its layout, health and design. You\u2019ll need to rely on your bagua and understand the five elements to create a proper feng shui garden, but here\u2019s a quick guide to get you started:<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">\u2022 The northeast area of a garden is connected to personal growth, so you need earth. It\u2019s the perfect spot for a Zen garden with rock formations.<br \/>\n\u2022 Water features belong in the southeast, east or north side.<br \/>\n\u2022 Plan for curving pathways so Chi can flow properly.<br \/>\n\u2022 Use wind chimes to create healing vibrations in the air.<br \/>\n\u2022 Plan color according to the five elements, just like you would with your front door.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-62203\" class=\"align-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/04\/Garden.jpg\" alt=\"Backyard garden and paths that have good chi and balance\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>4. Add Landscaping Elements<\/h2>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Your landscaping, similar to your garden, doesn\u2019t depend on the quantity of space; rather, it depends on the quality of what you have. Your whole outdoor living space can depend on proper feng shui, so here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">\u2022 <strong>North:\u00a0<\/strong>Associated with your career path, so you can use water features (including bird baths) in this part of your yard. Deep blues and blacks are the perfect colors for this area.<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>Northeast:\u00a0<\/strong>Where your spiritual growth and knowledge are centered, so this is where the most beautiful views belong (like your garden), as well as most of your seating.<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>East:<\/strong>\u00a0Represents health and longevity, so make this space green and healthy. Ornamental trees are perfect in your east-side landscaping.<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>Southeast:<\/strong>\u00a0is for money and abundance, and the right colors are purple and gold. Wooden ornaments are most beneficial here, as are accenting water features.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0<strong>South:<\/strong>\u00a0Associated with fire, which is where your grill or fire pit belongs. Place it near your patio or pergola to create a place for outdoor entertaining.<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>Southwest:<\/strong>\u00a0The place for love and relationships, so put a comfortable bench or swing there, and keep in mind that the right colors are pink, red and yellow.<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>West:<\/strong>\u00a0Promotes creativity, so it\u2019s the perfect place to set aside space for children.<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>Northwest:<\/strong>\u00a0Associated with new people and travel, so this should be an open place (the element is metal, and the colors are gray and white) where you can greet people and get to know each other.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-62204\" class=\"align-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/04\/Landscaping-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fire pit and water feature that follow good feng shui landscaping principles\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/feng-shui-for-home-exteriors\">Courtesy of Redfin<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s always important to look at what surrounds your home when applying good feng\u00a0shui.\u00a0 The exterior can add good energy that feels supportive.
