The color of a house not only makes it more livable, but according to the ancient Chinese predictive science that has been around for thousands of years, it is believed that the color of the house is also linked to the fate of the people living in it. This means that if we choose the right color for our house, it can help promote good fortune for the residents.
However, since Chinese science has many branches, we would like to present the principles of Feng Shui based on the eight auspicious directions: North, South, East, West, Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest. These will be referenced according to the direction of the fence or front door of the house, combined with the color trends of 2023 from BEGER. Let’s see which colors should be used for each direction.

Houses located in the North.
For those who want to get promoted or increase their salary, the stylish blue color Deep Dark Shadow 030-6 is the answer, as the North is associated with the water element, which has blue or aqua tones.
Houses located in the South.
The direction of the fiery element, the supporting colors are warm tones such as red, orange, yellow, or peach, which is a mix of orange and pink, like Juicy Peach 182-4, which helps promote reputation and success in life.
Houses located in the East.
This direction is suitable for yellow, which according to Chinese texts represents wealth. Anyone focused on business and wanting money to flow in should prepare to paint with the soft yellow color Summer Heat 086-4. The downside of using this color is that you might get tired of counting money until your hands are sore.
Houses located in the Northeast and Southeast.
This direction will be primarily influenced by the earth element, which excels in overcoming obstacles in life. No matter what problems arise, they can be easily overcome. The suitable colors for houses in this direction are yellow or brown, such as Summer Heat 086-4 or Barrington Brown 186-4. Additionally, for houses in the Southeast, which are closely associated with the wood element, green colors like Up to Date 148-6 can be used, which is a minimal earth tone that helps maintain the balance of nature in the home, enhancing wealth and prosperity.
Houses located in the West.
Fortune is something many people desire. The house paint colors that promote this include white or cream tones, such as the soft cream white Jamila 158-1, which looks warm and inviting. This color is also a shade of the year from BEGER. Alternatively, you can choose a bright white shade like Super White GW-8800, which helps keep the house cooler by reflecting heat well. Moreover, when used indoors, it makes your rooms look clean, bright, and noticeably more spacious.
Houses located in the Northwest and Southwest.
The element associated with these directions is metal, which influences support from elders. The colors that support this well are white, similar to houses in the West. We recommend using a bright white shade like Super White GW-8800, which also helps keep the house cooler by reflecting heat effectively. Additionally, when applied indoors, it makes your rooms look clean, bright, and noticeably more spacious.
Tips for good luck throughout the year:
To ensure that good fortune stays with us for a long time, it is advisable to choose the highest quality house paint. This will ensure a long lifespan and maintain the beauty of the house for many years. For example, BEGER Cool Diamond Shield 15 can protect the house from various weather conditions, including sun, rain, and dust, keeping it beautiful for over 15 years, and it can actually help keep the house cooler too.
Repainting your house is like opening up to new things in life. If you choose the right colors for your home, you will have the opportunity to encounter good things. All the auspicious colors we recommend are suitable for everyone, regardless of age, and whether it’s an old year or a new year, these colors will help support the people in the house to have good fortune. Importantly, they can be used for both exterior and interior paint.
