The Science of Art Placement
By Phree J. Bartley
Feng Shui provides a common-sense method for choosing art and designing framing
that creates harmony in your
home and office…
A few key concepts of this ancient wisdom blends science, intuition and can have
a profound affect on our well being. We know that colors, objects and placement
of objects affect our moods and physical well - being in ways we are often
unaware of.
Therefore, the colors of everything our eyes come in contact with will influence
our temperament, physical movements, language and thoughts - in short, our
lives. The colors and objects surrounding us possess an invisible energy or chi’
that affects our moods, thoughts and actions. We know that colors, shapes,
subject matters and framing materials possess a particular “feel” and create a
powerful or serene “look”.
Understanding that the created look has an inherent energy level or chi’, is a
powerful way to create the most beneficial atmosphere, depending on the purpose
of each room in your home.
The role of artwork in Feng Shui displays the state of one’s spirit and should
be chosen for one’s connection to it and for its symbolism. The proper placement
of art should also reflect the client’s connection to the piece. In Feng Shui,
locations for deeply expressive artwork are most beneficial in the bedroom,
living room, hallway, and just inside the entrance to the home.
The bedroom is considered the most important room in the home because it is the
place for rest and deep relaxation. The qualities of stillness, softness and
pleasing textures should be brought into the room…it is about establishing a
boundary between the individual and the rest of the world in order to completely
relax. Touches of red could be used to inspire intimacy. Artwork and its
complementary mat-board that possess calming colors of soft greens, blues and
rose tones such as mauves and burgundies are very beneficial…adding yellow,
which connotes trust, can be very effective for older people in their 70’s and
80’s, whose energies are calmed by the color.
Colors attract & nurture energy to create relaxation or activation…
Chi carries thoughts, ideas, emotion & dreams…
Color is the most potent way to shift energy….
