Paint the Ceiling to Feel the Charm

Paint the Ceiling to Feel the CharmA good painting will make your home look attractive an appealing. Just try to add little color that will make the entire look of the room.
A good painting can really change the atmosphere in your home. Believe me; painting the ceilings has got a role in deciding the looks. The painting above your head on ceiling will create an impact on the feelings. Just the change in colors will have its own impact. A light peach on the ceiling will brighten a room with a warm rosy hue much more than a cold white.

Paint is capable of changing the appearance of height of a ceiling. If feels like bringing the ceiling down, just give the walls dark color and ceiling white. Blurring that line of demarcation between the walls and the ceiling will definitely make an effect of a high ceiling, as the eyes won’t be able to tell where the boundary exists between the wall and the ceiling.

Have you made up your mind on getting the ceiling painted? The next step is determining the type of paint to be used. There exist two types of paints-ceiling paint and wall paint. Ceiling paint is cheaper. But never calculate the savings that you are going to make by painting your walls with ceiling paint. This is because the ceiling paint will be missing some of the expensive ingredients which will resist the smudge marks. If you use this paint, cleaning also becomes a hard task. Ceiling paint is also chalkier than wall paint which may get damaged easily. Ceiling paint is flat paint that will not show imperfections as easily as glossier wall paint. Ceiling paint is also a thicker paint that will reduce splatter if applied.

Ceiling paint is exclusively for use on the ceiling. But wall paint can be used anywhere. This paint works perfect on ceilings as it is easier to tint than ceiling paint. This helps in getting the exact color of your dream. Now just get ready to paint your ceiling and feel the difference.

Defining Feng Shui

Defining Feng ShuiPronounced “fung shway,” Feng Shui  is a Chinese practice that can be traced back to as long as 6000 years ago. The literal translation of Feng Shui means “wind water”. It’s a study of the environment and how does it affect a human living. The notion is to create a perfect environment in which there’s a total harmony of humans and nature or the surroundings. For example: In office cubicle, Feng Shui will try to enhance the energies in your little work space so that it is more conducive to you being productive.

Wood, fire, earth, metal and water are five different elements used by Feng Shui. All these elements are used to balance our environment. The constipated and negative energy at places where we spend most of our time can affect us adversely.

Hence, Feng Shui aims at the balanced flow of energy at these places as to create the space more appealing that will make us feel good.

Feng Shui has gained popularity since the beginning of 21st century in developed countries.

Directional Feng Shui

Directional Feng ShuiFeng Shui involves setting the environment in such a way that one can get the best of energies from all the directions. For doing so, you need to get a regular old compass and find the four major directions within the place you want to reposition:

North: Black is the color of north. Water is its element and turtle is its animal. The Feng Shui, if balanced, brings in a refreshing energy of calm, purity, freshness and ease. 

South: Red is the color of south. Fire is its element and phoenix is its animal. The element of fire brings in a supporting energy in your career efforts. This element helps you to achieve recognition in your professional life. 

East: Green is the color of east. Wood is its element and dragon is its animal.

West: White is the color of west. Metal is its element and the fierce tiger is its animal. The metal element brings the qualities of efficiency, precision, clarity and sharpness once the element is balanced. Feng Shui metal element will help you live with lightness and clarity.

The key is to determine which direction(s) best matches your goals and visually enhances that corner of your living space with its corresponding color, element or animal.
