A pertinent phrase for the moment, meaning in good health and spirits! The sun came out, all of our social bubble have had first vaccines, rumours of open space cafes are possible in the near future, and even the shops are changing from austere colours and blasts of pink are appearing. The colour pink has an interesting history fully appearing in the French Louis XV court’s fashion and interior designs. In later eras, it became a colour associated with women and gentility. These days it is a symbol for breast cancer research, and is emerging as a colour of powerful femininity.
Feng Shui Tips
Pink is the colour for the Relationship sector and all about romance and a marriage with the Earth element. It isn’t a colour that most couples look for but a touch here and there is a sign. Don’t forget to have art work and decor that sends a message of ‘two’, love and happiness. My husband and I share a love of the Art Deco era and the 1950s glamour. We added art with couples and symbols that we love. Feng Shui practice recommends for single people seeking a partner, to ensure that whatever room is in the Relationship sector, double images of birds, trees and people are important.
Pink Interiors
Pink can be an amazing colour in areas other than a bedroom. Summer interiors start to show cushions and throws in bright gelato shades with seashells, birds and often partnered with gold. Combining with navy, grey or black can be a chic look. Check out which shade can be chosen. The latest tone is blush, not ideal for single people as it signifies being single in Feng Shui but it is a lovely hint for a younger person. Stronger tones such as rose or salmon through to fuchsia and hot pink can be fun. A friend in Nice has a great apartment looking on to the beach and he has added different images of flamingos in cushions, glasses and other decor. It is a shout back to the 1950s martini French Riviera style. There is a sense of a casino around the corner and a cold cocktail waiting for a night of fun. As someone said, ‘Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons’.
