Vastu colours for home
Vastu colours for home: colour ideas by room and direction, with the element logic and honest limits.
By Aalok Trivedi · Published · Updated
Key takeaways
Vastu associates colours with directions: lighter tones in the North-East, East and North, earthy tones in the South-West, and fiery tones kept modest in the South-East. These are traditional preferences, not rules. Choose what you like and can live with.
A Vastu report is only as good as the North direction and boundary you set on your own plan. For a standard rectangular home or office, the automated grids answer most directional questions honestly; book a consultation when the plot is irregular or the decision is irreversible.
