Colours play an important part in our lives. Certain colours resonate within us, bring out an emotion, remind us of a place, a time, a person, a tradition. Colours shape our beliefs, emotions and surroundings every day and something we can connect to with all people around the world. Let's dive into my personal favourite - shades of blue.
Blue represents the sky and the sea in all its variations from the clear blue of the waters of the Pacific, the blue-grey of the Bahamas, the deep blue waters of Polynesia, the frosty beauty of Antarctica, the soft blues of the sky at dawn, the dark midnight velvet sky at night, the gentle midday cloudless sky, to the deep indigo blue of the crown chakra; we are surrounded by beautiful blue moments in all her shades and expressions. Blue is associated with elegance, tranquility, freedom, comfort, open spaces, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue is known as the colour of intuition and sixth sense and also represents meanings of self-expression, depth, peace, sincerity, trust, honesty, loyalty, wisdom, confidence and heaven.

The fengshui elements suggest introducing some blue elements into the bedroom space to promote the feeling of calm, gentleness, letting go and better sleep as blue is a colour tone that seeks peace and tranquility and promotes physical and mental relaxation. It is a rich colour that invokes rest, peace, calm and slowing down.
