Interior Design Trends: Feng Shui

WATER (MIRROR), FIRE (FIREPLACE), WOOD, METAL, EARTH
(SQUARE SHAPES) - ALL 5 ELEMENTS ARE REPRESENTED HERE
Feng Shui is a Chinese design philosophy that has evolved over thousands of years based on logical and productive fundamentals to make the most of benefits provided by nature. Its foundation is based on energy or Chi, and incorporates balancing 5 elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Metal, Wood. Feng Shui principles apply to everything from agriculture to interior design. 

WATER (VIEW), EARTH (YELLOW), WOOD (END TABLES & LAMPS)
Feng Shui principles are always incorporated in my interior design schemes.  A beautiful,warm, inviting, and harmonious home has all the elements represented without one overpowering another. It isn’t readily apparent, but when a space is designed with all the elements in balance, there’s a feeling of peace and serenity throughout the home.
