Metal
« Earth | Water »
Metal affects mental clarity and logic. The presence of metal within a room or home can be felt in emotional characteristics like organization, focus, righteousness and analytical abilities. When surrounded with too much metal, you can be seen as chatty, overly critical and speaking without thinking. When there is too little metal, you may notice a feeling of cautiousness, quietness and lack of focus.

When enhancing a space with metal, look for:

• round or oval shapes
• anything made of metal, like steel, iron, aluminum, gold or silver
• rocks and stones
• white, grey, silver or light pastel colors

Remember the rounded shape of a wedding band and the light tones of metal.
