Description
A practical guide to harmonious home decorating, from the author of" The Healing Home. The five elements - wood, metal, water, earth and fire - all play a major role in the creation of a healthy and harmonious home. When we create a space in sympathy with these natural forces, our home will have a special and loving atmosphere. Metal, for example, is clean, hard and strong and its associated colour is white. Used in the home, whether in metal furniture and accessories or as part of a modern, minimalist colour scheme, it brings focus to the mind and encourages inner reflection. Earth is stabilizing and brings security, useful if you find yourself undergoing constant changes. Suzy Chiazzari explains how to determine your own elemental personality so that you can create a home that's in harmony with your inner being. She also details the essential characteristics of each element, with practical applications for its use in the home, including practical decorating ideas and inspirational colour.
