To energize water, the most common thing is to actually add water itself, in the form of a fish tank or perhaps a clear vase with a flower or two, as long as you don’t let the water get stale and cloudy, as the flowers fail. Another popular remedy is one of these small interior fountains, where water pours over a flat rock or a group of stones.

If you can’t add water itself to the room, then you might consider using water’s traditional color, which is black and deep blue (indigo). Light blue, like sky blue, will not help, so it must be very dark. It could be as simple as a dark blue mat around a picture or photo. You don’t have to paint the room black. What a remedy should provide is stimulation for the element, not a tidal wave.
