Walls should always be painted to make the regularity of their shape stand out.

Here are some guidelines for using shape and color to bring family harmony and success. Rectangular walls which are taller rather than broader (without appearing incomplete) are particularly good in the east and southeast corners as this shape signifies growth and success. This is the shape of the Wood Element and Wood suggests the season of spring, a time of growth.

Perfectly square shapes, which belong to the Earth Element, are ideal for the dining room and the dining table since not only does this reflect the stability of grounding energy, but Earth also stands for the mother. The energy of the square shape is very balanced and is very auspicious for family harmony.

Round shapes denote the Metal Element and these are suitable for the west and northwest areas. It is a good idea to create a perfect round patch with clever paintwork techniques on any northwest wall so that you create auspicious luck for the patriarch of the family. Paint it gold for added radiance and additional good luck symbolism. Do not make the shape too large as the round shape can be overpowering for residential homes. In large corporate offices, however, they are ideal when featured in the northwest.
