Add Yellow and Green Accents
“The center of your house is the 'health center' according to feng shui," says Barrett, who recommends adding yellow and green to the area. “Yellow represents the sun and green symbolizes nature, and they’ll energize the health center.” She’s not suggesting you redecorate, just incorporate yellow and green accents like flowers, vases, pillows, candles or window treatments.
