By the same token, can anyone here who's criticised my stand make a defence of Fêng Shui? I understand that much of the criticism wasn't for attacking the practice but for taking pot shots out of ignorance but still...
There's nothing to defend. It's either you like it or you don't. It's a matter of taste. I took a few interior decorating classes until that petered out. But I learned that restaurants will purposely put green in there business because seeing the color green makes you eat more. Alot of people put blue in their bedrooms, it's because it is a "calming" color. I can't remember where, but I remember reading that some scientist did research on brain waves while showing people different colors and pictures. The brain reacted with different emotions. And never put pure red in a kitchen, it will only make you hotter. That is what professional decorators are being taught and it works because when you enter a well balanced beautifully done room everything just flows and it makes you feel what the decorator wanted to accomplish. I think Feng Shui is just an ancient asian form of interior decorating. But if you'd rather throw your furniture in the room and put up a mini blind, no one will judge you. Just do what fits you!
