An area rug for the home is not only a great way to protect your flooring surface from wear and tear and add to the design of the room. It is also a great way to make the room alive with positive energy. If you do not believe in the flow of energy in a room, at the very least, you should agree that colors have a way invoking emotions that affects how we feel.
In feng shui, blue is associated with the clear sky and refreshing water. It is advised to have the color blue in the east and southeast of your room or house. Feng shui considers the color blue as a water element. The east and southeast areas are the health and family, and wealth and abundance area of your space respectively. The blue color you put in these areas are said to nourish the energy of these two areas.
Light blue in particular connotes harmonious expansion. This makes light blue area rugs ideal for any room where your family comes together to spend time with each other like the family room or the dining room.
Dark blue on the other hand evokes deep clam and serenity. This makes a dark blue area rug a good idea for your bedroom. The combination of dark blue and white is actually supposed to bring the energy of the unlimited sky. This combination is said to bring the energy of great happiness into ones space.
Personally, I have my home work desk at the southeast room of my home. And I have a huge dark blue area rug under my desk, extending to the front of my desk. It is said that the color blue evokes confidence, authority and trust. That is probably the reason why a lot of corporate executives wear dark blue suits and the uniforms of the police is colored blue.
