punctuate with black and white!
yin and yang are universal energies that attract and create movement, and a balance of both keeps energy moving fluidly. yin is receptive energy (think: resting) while yang is creative and active. in some conversations, these concepts get labeled “good” and “bad.” this assumes one state is better than the other. for instance, yin is often confused for “passive” while yang is perceived as high energy. truth? we need both to feel comfortable and balanced.
and one of my favorite ways to acknowledge both in our home and lives… punctuate with black and white!
this classic duo nods to equality and balance. and since these colors never go out of style, they are easy to choreograph into any room. consider typography prints, photography, textiles, or statement-making accents. black and white – like the yin/yang symbol – attract each other, so these hues know how to keep our energy moving forward and a good way to stay in the flow! xo
