Just what exactly is 'Feng Shui?' Its a question I asked myself when it came to decorating my room recently. Id heard mention of it in all these celebrity magazines (for example Madonna wud be Feng Shui-ing her english mansion whilst meditating in this weeks favourite yoga position and playing with her Kabbalah beads) without fully ever understanding what it meant. So I decided to run it past Wikipedia (an absolute God-send of a website especially when it cums 2 essay writing). The given definittion of Feng shui was as follows:
Feng shui, pronounced in English as "fung shway" is the ancient chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The literal translation is "wind and water".
Whilst the idea of achiveing harmony with my environment is quite appealing I'm quite sceptical as to whether this can be achieve through different combos of arrangin my bed & other furniture. So, I decided to take the more mainstream approach of turning to Dulux.com after being enticed by there fabulous (as in fabulous darling said in my best-camp-interior-designer-a-la-Justin-&-Colin voice) adverts. Did you know you can take a colour chemistry quiz to find out what colour you are in order that you can then decorate your room to reflect your personality - neat huh?!
Apparently I'm an Urban experimentalist! Just from asking 6 questions Dulux.com claims it has revealed by entire personality! It says:
Sunny and gregarious you have the confidence that comes from not being afraid to be yourself. You are always up to date with trends and fashion. Just like your wardrobe, you see your home as the perfect canvas to express your personality and sense of style.
It didnt give me many colour schemes tips tho unfortunately & i found myself swamped & rather intimidated by the shear number of colour charts. My latest situation is that my window has been fitted, the plasterer is coming round next weekend, my furniture has been delivered & yet im still without a colour scheme. So, any budding interior designers floating around in cyber space?? I'd very much love any kind of inspiration!
