It is a proven fact that colors have a significant psychological effect on people. A home is a place where a person spends a major part of one’s life. As specific colors stimulate distinctive emotions in the people, it is important to have an appropriate balance of colors in one’s home, to feel fresh and live a healthy life.
Colors for your home, as per direction
“While each direction has a specific color, at times, it may still not suit the owner. Therefore, home owners should adhere to the general guidelines for colors as per Vastu Shastra, which entails the following key points:
- North-east – Light blue.
- East – White or light blue.
- South-east – As this direction is associated with fire, orange, pink and silver colors can be used to enhance the energy.
- North – Green, pista green.
- North-west – This area is related to air. So, white, light grey and cream are the best colors.
- West – It is the place of ‘Varun’ (i.e., water). So, the best colours are blue or white.
- South-west – Peach, mud color, biscuit color or light brown.
- South – Red and yellow.
Home owners must take extra precautions while choosing colors like black, red and pink, as these colors do not suit every person,” explains Sethi.
Color guidelines, as per your home section
Experts point out that each section of your home, requires colors as per its energy requirement, size and direction. The color requirement of your home section, should be as per its usage. Astro-numerologist, Gauravv Mittal, says, “People living in a home should keep the following points in mind, while coloring the rooms:
Kids’ room:
North-west is the best place for rooms for children who are grown up and go out for study purposes. As the north-west direction is governed by the moon, hence, children’s rooms in this direction should be painted with white color.
Kitchen:
The south-east zone is ideal for kitchens and hence, the walls of the kitchen should be painted with orange or red color.
Bathroom:

Colors that you should avoid in your home
Experts suggest that light shades are always good. Dark shades like red, brown, gray and black may not suit everyone, as they represent some of the fiery planets likes Rahu, Shani, Mars and Sun. “Red, deep yellow and black should be avoided. Generally, theses colours have high intensity and it may disturb the energy pattern inside your house,” cautions Sethi.
