Lighting Feng Shui Style

• Shadows must not be cast while we read or cook food. So ensure that your study and kitchen is well lit with incandescent bulbs or halogen lights.
• Different colored lights denote different moods. Pinks have a calming effect; purple is used for passion, yellow for a relaxed feeling.
• Soft lights create positive energy, therefore when you need a lot of light for a particular room, use two soft light.
• Paper and cloth lampshades make the light appear softer and create a quiet atmosphere. Metal shades or shades that reflect light create an active atmosphere. Use these shades in different rooms according to the mood you want to create.
• Using red lampshades in the living room brings fame.
• Use pink shades in the bedroom to increase romance in your life.
• Using purple shades in the office will increase wealth.
• Soften sharp corners of a room using accent lighting. Softening of sharp edges increases the energy flow and crates a relaxed atmosphere.
• Use uplighting to light up dark corners and beams so that the effect of negative energy is reduced.
• Well-lit areas encourage the flow of positive energy. Place mirrors in dark rooms or corners so that they will reflect light and positive energy will flow freely.
• Place a red colored crystal chandelier in the beginning or at the end of the room. This will increase the flow of energy.
