The Creativity, Communication and Children sector is aligned with joy and having fun. It is the area to review if you feel a need to move forward, to be creative and to harness a childlike energy. If you have children, it is also focused on your relationships with them. It is an area often missing in modern architecture and there are tips on how to activate this.
Elements and Colours
The key element is metal and colours are white, pastels and soft greys. The earth element can also be used as earth polishes metal in the Feng Shui cycle. Silver picture frames of creative times, children mixed with ceramics are ideal. Choose colours carefully in skin tones with warmth with white and grey.
Bedroom
Look to soft skin tone colours rather than stark whites. White is a metal colour but can be too harsh for bedroom energy. If you are seeking to attract a partner, choose soft pastel peach tones with soft greys. For those in a relationship, move from white to buttermilk, pale lemon tones that harmonise with metal picture frames and soft grey. I love this wallpaper in a French hotel bedroom, the sense of fun and life!
Lounge/Dining Area
This is a great area for creativity but it needs balance with relaxation. Consider adding metal and earth elements using picture frames and art work and add earth tones for warmth and relaxation. Add textiles with blinds, curtains and rugs that add warmth and ideally add something that is fun or whimsical.
Bathroom
As always with the bathroom, it is about counteracting the draining of energy. Look for white, pastel and grey colours and add a touch of creativity and whimsy with accessories. Grey slate and stone is ideal for floors and walls. Use ceramics to reduce the water element and enhance the metal.
Kitchen
A key tip here is to highlight metal and reduce any fire element aspects. Use ivory, grey, coffee colours. Metal utensils, bowls or pottery, stone pots, crockery, all support this area. You are likely to have some creative cooking happening!
Office
This is an ideal area for creativity and communication and for artists, writers, marketers and other similar roles. Ensure you also use the Bagua Map principles for your desktop. Keep your desk tidy and place communication such as telephones in the communication and creativity sector. Arrange office supplies creatively, use paperweights, vases, books and pens in metallic colours.
It is Missing!
If missing or in the garden, look at how you can add a creative element through a metallic stature or ceramic feature. Can you add a wall feature if by a garage or brick wall? Place an element of fun but avoid water and wood.
