Following the Yin and Yang decorating technique requires a basic understanding of both the Yin and the Yang. So here goes, Yin represents feminine forces, and Yang masculine forces. What you want to achieve in a home is a balance of both Yin and Yang. It is what you strive for, but of course different rooms require more Yin and others more Yang. Hence, the overall picture is what you are working on. The Yin and Yang can also be applied to the garden and garden entrance. For example when choosing the type of garden gate or garage door. It is thought by some that sliding gates give a more positive energy than the traditional gates.

As such, Yin energy should be strongest in the bedroom and the bathroom. Whereas, Yang energy dominates in the kitchen, living room and home office. This is best remembered when you establish in your mind that Yin is passive energy and Yang is active. Now get out there and achieve your balance.
