Color Tiles, Chakras, and Home Decor

Many people believe that color is the manifestation of the mind-eye chakra. Colors affect the way people think, feel and act. When considering new ceramic tiles for your kitchen and bathroom, you need to consider what color vibrations you’re sensitive to.

Let’s start with the kitchen. If you want you and your family to eat healthier, you should get light green or yellow-orange tiles. These colors reinforce the positive energies of the eating habit through the eyes, directly to the brain and stomach. If you are not affected by these colors on a spiritual level, you should consider adding some kitchen tiles to the mix. Specifically, try to find ceramic tiles with fruits and vegetables on them. So maybe on your next trip to the kitchen you’ll opt for carrot sticks over French fries.

You should also remember that you can buy blank ceramic (or porcelain) tiles and paint them yourself. It’s a labor-intensive process, but if you’re the crafty type, you’ll find it more rewarding. Paint pictures of fruits and vegetables on the tiles. This is a more direct reminder to eat healthy. If your kitchen is the social space of your home, you should decorate it with purple tiles. Purple tiles relax people and make them feel comfortable. Lush shades of purple look much better in a kitchen than sterile whites and blues. Make sure you get tile flooring and wall tiles. Floors are an often overlooked aspect of the kitchen.

Now that we’ve thoroughly explored the spiritual ramifications of kitchen tile, let’s move on to the bathroom. The bathroom is a space of cleansing, renewal and rebirth. For the bathroom I would suggest a light pink or light blue color scheme. Light pink will make your bathroom feel spring all year round, which is what you’re after. Every morning you go to the bathroom and transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly. Light pink ceramic tiles will help in this transformation and evoke images of spring floors. A light blue ceramic tile can also come in handy to help you in your daily transformation. Light blues evoke images of water that we associate with “spring showers.” If you have children, the light blue color will remind them to brush their teeth and clean behind their ears. Regardless of the colors you choose, remember that you will see them every day. These colors will affect your mood and actions, so choose wisely.
