Red roses and pink love hearts are synonymous with expressions of love and romance. Interestingly in the world of feng shui red and pink are also associated with relationships. These colours are considered auspicious in the portion of the home dedicated to harmonious relationships.

Perhaps these colours the world over hold an energy that we react to without really thinking why.

I would like to relate a story to you regarding the colours associated with feng shui and the relationship point of a home and the influence this had over a house sale.

Working as an interior designer and feng shui consultant in my home city of Perth some years ago, I was approached by a client to see “why my house didn’t sell”. My client was a very stylish woman with a beautiful period home in the settled and elegant suburb of Subiaco. As I drove up and regarded the front of the property it was hard to understand why it hadn’t sold. Equally, when I went inside I noted that it was beautifully decorated and the six months of no sale on the market was hard to digest.

I then, however looked at the main bathroom which just happened to be located in the relationship point of the house. It was painted a citrus yellow which wasn’t the pink/red dedicated to this sector in feng shui terms. I mentioned to my client that it would be better to paint the bathroom pink as it was energetically out of balance. She was horrified as she disliked the colour pink and said she would think about. Of course she did nothing and life went on as before, until the day her brother came to stay and she told him the story about my visit and the pink bathroom idea.

What have you got to lose, he said, it’s just a tin of paint; and so she did.

Subsequently the agent who had had the listing all those months ago rang her out of the blue and mentioned he might have a buyer for the property. The house was back on the market and at the first open several groups of people went through and the house was sold for way more than the asking price.

Coincidence you might say, or was it the shift in energy from the colour change that pulled the house into alignment and thus sent out an energetic wave of attraction that prompted the agent to call?
