Feng Shui Wall Colours for Your Home

In the Living Room

The living room is the area where we relax with our families. Choosing the best paint colours is essential to enhance the appeal of this space.

Wall Colour Recommendation: If your living room is facing south, choose reds, red-oranges, yellows, or even pinks and purples. If the living room is in the east, go for green colour. If it is in the North, pick blue.

In the Bedroom

Where you sleep should feel secure and soothing. Rest and rejuvenation are the main focus of the bedroom. It is where we sleep and rest our body and mind.

Wall Colour Recommendation: For the bedroom in the north, we recommend you go for blue. For bedrooms in the northeast, pick light yellows, beiges and sandy browns. For ones in the east, choose green or brown. For a west-facing room, opt for grey or white while for the north-west, pick earthy tones.

In the Home Office

Surround yourself with a colour that supports your goals, allowing yourself to feel inspired and motivated to work from your home office.

Wall Colour Recommendation: Elevate your home office with deep shades of blue or green if facing the north. If facing south, choose yellow, reds and oranges. If facing the east or south-east, pick greens, browns and tans. For north and north-west, pick white or grey. For south-west and north-east facing rooms, pick light brown or beige.

In the Kitchen

They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, where meals are cooked to fuel the body, mind and souls. Make it a wonderful space with clever use of colours.

Wall Colour Recommendation: For the east and south-east-facing kitchen, pick brown and green. For south-facing, choose orange, red or purple colours. For the north, go for blue. For west and north-west facing ones, opt for white or grey. For the south-west, beige or butter-yellow makes for good choices.

Reiki, Chakras And Colours In Home Decorating!

Alternate non-invasive therapies like Reiki have shown to cure aches, hormonal disorders, depression, anxiety and even immunity-related disorders, slowly but surely, minus the side-effects of allopathic medications.

In fact, even celebrities have vouched for the benefits of this Japanese healing technique. And, despite the bad press it often receives for having little scientific data to back up its outcomes, you will find many individuals in India swearing by it.

Reiki uses the body’s chakras to transfer healing energy to a receiver, working on not just the body, but the mind and soul as well. It is believed to help you resolve not only mental but also physical issues, provided the recipient is open to receiving the healing energy.

There has been a surge in the popularity of Reiki due to the toll the pandemic has taken on people’s mental health. What makes Reiki an interesting therapy to explore is that it does not require physical touch. The healing can be administered to anyone living in any part of the world and it is believed to work effectively. It is also free of side effects, making it safe for all. In fact, the benefits of this spiritual healing are aplenty and much needed in today's day and age.

Interior colour reiki and chakras have an interesting relationship. Colours work through vibrational energy and have a deep impact on each of us. They also influence our chakras or the major energy centres across our body. You can use the chakra colours as Reiki room colours depending on which chakra or chakras you wish to activate.

Our interiors impact our daily lives. When you treat colours more than just “pretty little colours” and realise that they have a deeper reason than just aesthetics, you can make them work harmoniously and support your physical as well as mental health.

Get ready to incorporate wonderful colours in your living space to activate the chakras and the flow of energy.

Get Your Pooja Room Festive-Ready!

An integral part of many Indian homes, the pooja room is where most of the people worship and seek blessings from various gods and goddesses. Thanks to the auspicious festivals, this space will be the centre of attention in the coming months. Therefore, the room is expected to look clean, elegant and divine.

To help prep you for the festive season, we take you through the process of making your pooja room an oasis of calm and positivity, based on the principles of Vaastu.

According to Vaastu, the north-eastern or eastern corner of the home is recommended as the area of worship as it is associated with peace and prosperity.

Therefore, if you are moving into a new home or building a new one, construct the pooja room facing east or north-east.

Install a wooden door to this space. It could be a grand one with ornate elements or a simple one with bare ethnic touches.

However, if you wish to give a facelift to your existing pooja room, then our Vaastu experts have some interesting pooja room painting ideas. They swear by rich, earthy wall colours. You can explore our new range of Silk GlamArt Designer Finishes. The collection flaunts rich designer finishes that can serve as the perfect backdrop for the pooja room.

You can choose from unique textures such as Artistic, Silver Fire, Veins, Marble, Impressio, Wavy, Spatulato, Radiant Glow, Inferno, Flora, Frost, Autumn, Mirage and Mist.

You can bring home a new pooja mandir for a fresh, new look. To highlight all the architectural details of the mandir, you can install a back-lit wall.

To liven up and add sparkle to this sacred space, you can hang golden accessories and install hanging diyas. To enhance the overall appeal of the space, you can adorn the mandir with fresh flowers and garlands and place diyas all around.

With these pooja room Vaastu tips, we hope positivity reigns supreme in your home.
