Feng shui decorating is based on this principle of using color to "brighten your life," so to speak. It says that in order to balance your Chi, or your energy, you should surround yourself with many different colors. The trick is to do this without going overboard. Use small, brightly colored items to integrate the moods you want to achieve. Try red candles or pink flowers to decorate the "love" segment of your home (i.e. the bedroom). In the money area of your home you may want to add some blue. Flowers are always a good way to incorporate bright colors. Another way is to add an intricate wall hanging, painting or frame. Area rugs are another way to add color without making major renovations.
