Balancing a beige bedroom

Earth is fed by Fire and tempered by Metal. To soften a strong beige, add metal: round metal objects, white or soft grey accents, brass or steel finishes. To support it, add fire: warm lighting, candles, a touch of red, coral or orange, triangular shapes.

Where to use it

By the Black Hat bagua, earth belongs to Love & Partnership, Center & Well-being, Knowledge & Self-growth. Accents in those areas of the room are the most traditional placement. See the full earth element guide.
