Are you the trail-blazer (wood), the enthusiast (fire), the nurturer (earth), the quality controller (metal), or the artist (water)? Each element is associated with colors, shapes, rhythms, patterns and textures, and can be used to enhance and create your unique style.

With the help of interior designer Karen Larkin, you will explore what style truly reflects your soul through the ancient art of Feng Shui and the five Chinese elements. Initially used to understand the different fluid systems in the body for medical purposes, along with describing ones’ personality, this system now helps us reflect our essence (personality) both in home decor and clothing fashion.
