What color gutters to choose |
| |
Q: I will be getting new gutters in the next few months and I am very attracted to one that is pre-painted an olive green color. The current gutters are white, but for some reason that seems dull and does not appeal to me. Also they show dirt and mold a lot. However, with the productive cycle, the yellow house, white gutters, gray roof seems to correspond. Do you think the green gutters are an okay choice, or should I stick with white?
A: It’s really not necessary to coordinate every feature of your home with the element cycles. The productive cycle is not so much a goal in itself as it is a tool for making adjustments to a situation where imbalance in the elements is causing a problem. Sure, it's nice if the colors of your home are in harmonious relationship, but that does not make the productive cycle the overriding factor in your choices.
Far more important is that your gutters be in good condition (which they will be when you install the new ones), and that what you see when you look at your home makes you happy. So if you are very attracted to the olive green ones, then go with those. Why compromise with another color you won’t like as much? Each time you notice the gutters you’ll wish you’d gone with the green ones, and that’s not good feng shui at all.
If you feel there is a significant imbalance in the element representation in the exterior of your home -- and that it is affecting you in a negative way -- then you can use landscaping and accents to introduce the desired balancing element(s) in a subtle way. There's no need to overthink it, or to make choices that won't please you.
Hope this helps,
Stephanie R.
