Vastu Colours for the Bedroom

Ideally, the master bedroom should be located in the south-west of your house, as this is indicative of peace, relaxation and stability. The south-west quadrant represents the earth element, and if it complies with Vastu principles, then it will bring financial strength, good luck and happy relationships. Vastu suggests colours that are in close alignment to the earth and water elements; for instance green, brown, blue, mauve and white. Let’s talk about each of these colours and how you can use them in your bedroom.

1. Green, the Colour of Spring, Renewal and Growth

Green is a calm, earthy colour that represents life and growth, learning and knowledge. A green bedroom is well suited to children and young people. The energy in this room is fresh and lively. It’s proven to balance and even-out quick tempers. A child who is overactive will find that this room is relaxing and calming, and will be able to settle down to study more efficiently. A green palette goes well with shades of yellow and cream.

2. Blue, the Colour of Deep Wisdom and Serenity

Blue shades are said to bring in a sense of coolness and tranquillity, obviously the perfect choice for a soothing bedroom. This colour will help you to relax and unwind after a long day at work. Blue reflects the timeless, ageless wisdom of the sea and sky, and with a blue bedroom, you can sink into the depths of refreshing sleep. Choose colours that complement blue to make up the rest of your décor; grey and white are lovely combinations that harmonize well with a blue palette.

3. Brown, the Colour of the Earth

Brown represents deep-rooted stability and permanence, like that of the earth. A brown bedroom is ideal for older couples and generates a feeling of contentment and satisfaction from a life well-lived. A rich palette of shades of browns and creams can create an elegant, restful atmosphere in your bedroom.Bedroom Colour as per vastu

4. Mauve, the Colour of Romance and Decadent Luxury

The psychology of mauve evokes romance and feminity, and there’s no better colour to use in a bedroom! Shades ranging from the purity of pale pink to the decadence of rich purple can all be blended to create the picture-perfect romantic bedroom. Mauve is said to encourage restful dreams, while also providing a soothing atmosphere that is conducive to good sleep.Bedroom vastu colours

5. Serene, Soothing White

This one is our personal favourite! According to Vastu, white signifies purity, simplicity and freedom. Choose shades of white to create a pristine bedroom that exudes peace. Add different textures and tones to create interest. With white as a base, you can create a charming, classic bedroom that will stand the test of time. vastu colour combination for bedroom

What are the Colours to Avoid in your Bedroom?

Colours that are very fiery, such as red, orange and yellow do not allow the mind and body to quieten down. These colours represent the element of fire, and will infuse your room with chaotic energy; something you may not want in your bedroom. Hence these vibrant shades are better suited to rooms that are used during the day, such as the dining room, living or kitchen. It is believed that a red bedroom could lead to fighting and fiery tempers within the family, while a yellow or orange bedroom may be over-stimulating and give you disturbing dreams at night. Black is also considered to be a negative colour in Vastu and is associated with darkness and depression.
