Home Harmony Book

When we walk into a room for the first time, we often have an immediate reaction to its atmosphere. The natural energies created by our environment highly influence the way we feel. In Home Harmony, environmental designer Suzy Chiazzari tells you how to make your home a sanctuary for the mind, body and spirit by using the five elements — wood, metal, water, earth, and fire. Looking at each element in turn, she presents a practical guide to their forms and uses. Each element has particular shapes, colors and seasons associated with it, so the water element, for example, can be represented by glass or blue-violet colors, as well as by actual water features. Chaizzari shows how to introduce and use the elements within different settings, such as wood to help nurture family life, metal to focus the mind, or earth to bring stability. Inspiring, accessible, and drawing richly from the author's extensive knowledge of color therapy and holistic living, Home Harmony is your blueprint for a blissful, balanced home.
