Colour is considered an important, practical layer of Vastu Shastra - it's one of the easiest changes a homeowner can make without any structural work.
Living room
Light, warm shades such as beige, light yellow or soft green are generally recommended for living rooms, as they are believed to encourage open conversation and positive energy for guests.
Bedroom
Calming, muted tones like soft blue, light pink or pale green are traditionally preferred for bedrooms, supporting rest. Bright red is usually avoided in bedrooms, as it's considered too stimulating for a space meant for relaxation.
Kitchen
Since the kitchen is linked to the fire element, warm tones such as orange, light red or yellow are commonly suggested, in keeping with Agni.
Study or work room
Light green, pale yellow or white are considered supportive of focus and clarity of thought in a study space.
Pooja (prayer) room
White, light yellow or light blue are traditionally used in prayer spaces, associated with purity and calm.
Colour is only one layer of Vastu - direction, layout and placement still matter more overall. If you'd like a complete assessment of your home, our certified Vastu experts offer full consultations.
