Nature's five elements

The five elements are Wood,Fire,Earth,Water and Metal.

Wood-Wood is the element of spring and vitality,and not surprisingly its color is green.A room containing mostly wood elements is stimulating and encourages growth.Use indoor plants,timber furniture,baskets,twisted branches and vines to bring this element and its properties into your home.
Fire-Fire is the element of summer and its colors are red and orange.A room decorated with fire elements is warm and exciting.The right amount encourages conviviality,passion and new ideas.In your home use bright cushions and accessories,sun motifs,fireplaces and red decorative pieces.Candles are a perfect way to warm things up with little effort.
Earth-Earth is the element of late suumer and early autumn and its colors are yellow and brown.A room with earth elements is comfortable and nurturing,encouraging family harmony and security.In decorating use terracotta tiles,to keep your feet on the ground,pottery bowls and containers,particularly with rounded shapes,as well as velvet and suede for soft furnishings.
Water-Water is the element of winter and its colors are blue,pearl and black.Water is associated with healing and well-being,and its also the symbol of affection and sexuality so place a tall jar with water and pebbles or shells in the bedroom,or keep a small aquarium on the dresser.It encourages sleep,spirituality and tranquillity.Use mirrors,satin fabrics,shells, anything with water,it could be as simple as a bowl with a flower floating in it.And,of course,create an attractive bathroom to relax in.
Metal-Metal is the element of late autumn and its colors are white,silver and gold.A room containing metal objects is usually ordered and tidy,encouraging organisation and looking ahead.Use silver,iron and stainless steel,round spherical metal bowls,marble,granite and other hard shiny stone.Metal wind chimes help focus attention and slow the flow of energy.
