STEP 2

Once your space is ready, you can use the tips below to apply each of the five elements to your outdoor space.

• 01 / ADD WOOD ENERGY

  Plants are a great and natural way to bring in the wood energy to your outdoor space.

• 02 / ADD FIRE ENERGY

  Fire energy can be incorporated by using the color red, for example a red umbrella could add passion and life energy to your space.

• 03 / ADD EARTH ENERGY

  If you would like to add more stability and a grounded energy to your space, consider adding in more “earth” using the color brown (i.e. brown seating).

• 04 / ADD METAL ENERGY

  To add the energy of simplicity, bring in metal elements like a silver lantern.

• 05 / ADD WATER ENERGY

  Water energy is all about inviting flow and ease into your space. For an outdoor area, consider incorporating a black rug for fluidity (and practicality).
