Vastu is not just a science; it is a way of life for many people. Vastu Shastra is an ancient system of architecture that focuses on bringing peace and prosperity to the home. It lays down certain principles for design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry of a house. Most of the Indian homes are built in compliance with Vastu principles.
Vastu, the science of architecture, also offers guidelines about home decoration. You can use specific furnishings, accessories, and wall colours to make your living space more Vastu-friendly. While installing wallpaper, the interior designers must follow the “dos and don'ts” of Vastu Shastra. For example, certain colours are more suitable for certain rooms; and certain colours should be completely avoided in the home. This knowledge of the Vastu principles can help you to choose the right kind of wallpaper for your home.
We don’t like bragging ourselves, but My Indian Things can be your ideal wall covering partner in a home renovation project. We have an extensive collection of wallpaper designs for walls that will suit each Vastu guideline. Now let’s dive into this topic deeply-
- According to Vastu Shastra, the ancient science of architecture, colours play an important role in bringing balance to our mind and body.
- The selection of colours stimulates the energy in the space and influences the people residing in the house. Vastu suggests specific colours for each room.
- What we don’t know is that the colours we choose for our walls unconsciously reflect our inner self and eventually affects our mood. We shouldn’t ignore this fact as it influences our personality.
The ideal wall colours as per Vastu Shastra are:
Living Room-
Your living room is the reflection of your personality. The living room is where you entertain your guests. It should be warm and welcoming, as well as bright and bubbling with energy. The ideal colours for the living room are blue, green, yellow, beige and tan. A bit of red can make the living room look lively.
When choosing living room wallpaper for walls, you can pick bright florals or soothing botanical prints. Accent walls in the red shade would also look good. The ambience of the room should be bright and welcoming.
Dining Room-
Pink, orange, yellow, cream and off-white are the best colours for the dining room. They symbolize health and prosperity. Greens and blues will be good secondary colours to use. As the dining room is a space where the family shares their meal, the wall colours should stimulate appetite and conversation.
The dining room wallpapers should be bright and relaxing. The pattern should be something pleasing to look at, which is conducive to an eating environment.
Bedroom-
The most appropriate colours to use in bedrooms are pink, blue and green. Since a master bedroom should be in the southwest direction, brown is also a good colour. You can use a lighter mud brown shade for a soothing appearance. As per Vastu Shastra, bedroom wall colours should be relaxing to induce sleep and passionate to encourage love-making. Red should be avoided.
Use floral wallpaper designs for walls to create a soothing and romantic ambience in the bedroom. Geometric prints in light pink or botanical patterns in green will be a good fit in the bedroom.
Children’s Room-
Make the children’s room bright and vibrant by choosing all the happy colours. Orange, pink, blue, green or lavender is ideal for it. Avoid too much red as it is an aggressive colour and could be stressful. Kids Room wallpapers should be filled with their favourite pictures.
Kitchen-
Red, the colour of fire, is a must in every kitchen. You can use it as an accent wall, on the cabinet doors, or utensils. As per Vastu, the kitchen can have many colours – orange, white, silver, green, yellow, pink, chocolate. Avoid black or grey in the kitchen.
Wallpapers for the kitchen can vary between bold and eccentric to minimalist and understated. Pick an off-white textured wallpaper to replicate the look of a marble kitchen, or go for a funky wallpaper design with little watermelons drawn on it.
We have created a collection of Vastu compliant wallpaper designs. You can use these wallpapers on your walls to make your home Vastu complaint.
