Will a blue photo frame be as effective as blue wall? Or is a change of upholstery enough to get the effect of color through to you?  Yes, even if you use different tones and shades of the prescribed colour in the form of dress, bag, bedspreads, tapestries, table runner or use it as a small element  in the Décor, the effects are enough to benefit you. Any colour which makes you uncomfortable translates as bad feng shui or vaastu.  Instead of doing up the walls in a particular colour, think of the other facets like your wall tapestries, bedspread, table runner or the decors which comes to your rescue.

Every colour exudes positive energies. Hence understanding the psychology of colour is essential before you start studying those swatches. Balance and composition is the key. While vibrantly coloured walls may turn into eye sores after sometime, using colour in décor elements like, door, cushion covers, paintings, wall hangings, flowers is smart.
