3 Essential Vastu-Friendly Colours to Bring Into Your Home

According to vastu, colours influence the energy and mood of a room to a large extent – while some hues help bring in positivity, some neutralise the effects of negative spaces. In this article, We recommend colours that can aid in bringing prosperity, luck and happiness at home.

1. Red
Bright red or Ferrari red
It is universally used in various warning signs because of its ability to attract immediate attention. The universal law is that ‘wherever attention goes, energy flows’.

Where to use it?
It is a very powerful colour and one not to be played with carelessly. Hence, we always suggest using this colour only in the positive sector of the house, either on the wall or by adding splashes of it with various elements like paintings, cushions, candles and accessories. This exponentially enhances the energy of that particular positive sector. You can intuitively know which part of your house has more positive energy; it is a space where you feel most at peace, sleep well or enjoy spending quality time. Infuse these spots with bright red.

2. Orange
Bright orange or the colour of an orange fruit
It is a healing colour, one that combines the fiery energy of red and the warmth and happiness of yellow. It has great energy and balancing properties. It is a good shade that alludes to positivity; it sees us through tough times.

Where to use it
We suggest this colour for the negative areas of the house. Areas that you feel tend to collect a lot of clutter or no matter what you do, always look dirty and dull. Infuse these areas with bright-orange elements or wall paint.

3. Yellow
Bright yellow or taxi yellow
This colour, although refreshing, has dual properties. It is associated with clarity, freshness, cheerfulness, positivity and energy, as well as deceit and malice. Because of its dual nature, it has a neutralising effect.

Where to use it
We only recommend this colour in the negative sectors of your house, as whichever area it is in, it will reduce the effect of its energy. Any area of your house that suffers from constant leakage and seepage problems or faces constant breakdown of electronics and maintenance work can be infused with bright yellow to neutralise the effects.

These are the three colours that play an important role in enhancing and balancing the energy of the house. Although, as per vastu, there aren’t any specific colour recommendations for each room, here are general rules that you can follow when deciding the colour scheme of your house.

Living room
The living room is the introduction of your house. This space should always have soothing colours (neutrals or soft pastels) that give a sense of warmth.

Bedroom
Avoid using bold colours like dark blue, deep red and black in your bedroom, as they are generally associated with depression and despair.

Puja room/ meditation room
Use vibrant colours for your worship area. If you have a separate space for meditation, you can use shades of blue in that space for a deeper experience.

Kitchen
This area should have splashes of colour in it, but instead of painting the walls, introduce hues through jars and bottles.

Make creative use of mirror in your home décor

Use a clear mirror in an outdoor area, terrace or a big balcony to make the space look larger
A part from telling you that you look beautiful everyday , mirrors can be used creatively at strategic points in the house to enhance the décor. Here are some ways to use them in a creative manner.

Add Sparkle to your cooking
Mirrors in the kitchen can attract grease and grime, so use them in a smart way . One way of doing this is by using an antique mirror with a smoky effect. Place them in such a way that they don't attract unnecessary soot.

Mirrors for outdoor areas
If you have an outdoor area, terrace or a big balcony you can use a clear mirror to make the space look much larger. Use mirrors with appropriate frames as per the theme of the outdoor area.

Smart use of mirrors in the bedroom
According to vaastu and feng shui experts, mirrors placed in front of your sleeping area are a strict no, but with proper advice and creativity you can place them in areas other than these. Place them in such a way that they reflect light from the lampshade.

Make the bathroom elegant
Use lean mirrors instead of bulky ones for the bathroom area with shades like bronze, cinnamon and dark chocolate. You can also buy modern mirrors with chrome finish.

Try mirrored furniture
You can buy mirrored furniture like a chest of drawers or coffee table with mirrors on it. If you have a small room, you can place them next to a wall and it will give an illusion of the floor extending beyond the wall.
