The Bedroom Walls ~ Why Choose Pink?

Traditional Bedroom by Brooklyn Architects & Designers CWB Architects

by Sharda Chaitanya

It is almost universally understood that pink is the color of love, of the heart and, by extension, of romance.  If you are in a relationship (in this case I refer to those of a connubial nature) then pink is the ideal color for the bedroom walls.  If you want to keep the connectivity and spice in the romance, then the color pink is the way to go.  I am aware that pink in not the most favored color, and many people snare and snarl at the very thought of pink and having it anywhere near the vicinity of where they live or dress.  

So in light of that, there are a few ways to make pink walls (or other things in the bedroom or relationship corner) palpable.  First of all, it doesn't have to be bright  pink - it can be a subtle, softer pink.  (Note:  not to be confused with peach, which, though similar, has a different purpose!)  And it needn't be all four walls of the room that get painted pink, it can be one or two, with two being better.  


If you are still averse to painting the walls pink, then use accent pieces that have that color.  It does not have to be elaborate or expensive - I always advocate Feng Shui on a budget.  Unless your have the means to spend the bucks, use common sense and you can still achieve results.  Worrying about how you are going to manage to pay for the changes you want is antithetical to a healthy mind set, which is not good Feng Shui.  Keep it simple and ask your Feng Shui consultant what is the best way to address your budget.  A good consultant is clever and resourceful.  

Back to pink.  I almost always find that if I had an aversion to the design of a particular item that I needed for a Feng Shui cure, and I went ahead and did it anyway, it somehow worked.  The item in question managed to blend in and I forgot about how much I had anticipated disliking it.  The thing about energy and the cures we use to adjust it, is that the item we may not like finds a suitable home because it is called for and therefore resonates with the job it has been given.  This is one of those understated aspects of Feng Shui cures.

So don't worry if you are unsure of pink -  be daring.  There is something to be said for stretching beyond your comfort zone, particularly when doing Feng Shui.  Shifting energy can cause a few jitters, it's natural.  But once you see, or rather, FEEL how the energy becomes enhanced and smooth, your nerves become calm and you are bathing in serenity.  Once you go pink, you never go back.
