One of the best ways to make our living environment comfortable is to bring nature into the mix as much as possible.  When we bring the outdoors in, we feel more balanced, and more in harmony with the elements.  Large windows let in sunlight and blue sky, and when opened they allow in fresh air.  Plants freshen the atmosphere and lend life to any space.  We can honor the element of fire with candles, and the element of water with fountains and flower arrangements.  Wood and stone represent earth, and are very grounding.  Pay attention to how you feel in any given space, and make sure each of the elements is represented in some way.
