Color Me Energized: A Feng Shui Breakup with Beige

Have you noticed how beige has quietly taken over the world? Beige walls. Beige couches. Beige rugs on slightly lighter beige floors. It’s like living inside a latte—with none of the caffeine kick.

Now don’t get me wrong—neutrals have their place. Beige can be calming. White can be crisp. Gray can be chic. But when every room is dipped in a grayscale filter, the life force (aka chi) starts to take a nap.

And guess what? Your energy might, too.

In Feng Shui, color is sometimes how we balance the elements—fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. And when a space is elementally balanced, it feels so good. There’s harmony. Flow. A certain “ahhhh” when you walk in the door. That’s the sweet spot.

But let’s go even deeper.
Color is actually MEDICINE.

Every single color—yes, even among the 3,000+ shades on those magical Benjamin Moore paint wands—has its own unique frequency. And when you install that frequency in your space (on walls, ceilings, cabinets, trim...), you shift the energy. Fast. It’s the first and quickest way to change the chi. And trust me: when the chi shifts, you do too.

Because here’s the wild part:
Color doesn’t just change your room. It changes you.

It rewires your internal hard drive. It nudges your belief system. It tweaks how you perceive the world around you. That splash of tangerine in your bathroom might just make you feel more creative. A deep forest green in the bedroom could anchor your energy and help you rest. A pop of coral in the kitchen might spark joy where there used to be meh.

So, if you’re craving a quick, beautiful, and fun way to shift your energy—so that you can walk out into the world more joyfully, confidently, and fully you—try painting something. Anything. A wall. A door. The ceiling. Your front porch.

And if you want to get it just right, let’s do it together.
