The art of Fengshui is used as a way to explain and evaluate the overall “energetic feel” of a space. As an ancient Chinese art, it requires the use of different tools to analyze how a space flows. The use of colors is an important process in Fengshui and can play a very important role in the successful design of any interior or exterior. It can change a chaotic environment into a serene one, an unproductive office into an efficient one, and a sick environment into a healthy one.
