Which colours suit this room?

Common questions

Which colour is good for a bedroom as per Vastu?

Soft, pale shades suit a bedroom: beige, cream and light earthy tones in the South-West, pale blue or green in the North and East. Strong red, bright orange and black are kept to small accents rather than whole walls, whichever zone the bedroom is in.

Which colour should a North-facing room be?

The North is the water zone, so light blue, sea green and white suit it. Strong red and orange, and heavy dark shades, are traditionally avoided there because they belong to the fire element.

Which colours suit the South-West?

The South-West is the earth zone of stability. Beige, sand, mustard and light brown are the traditional choices. Large areas of blue or green are usually avoided in this zone.

Which colour is good for a kitchen as per Vastu?

Warm, light tones suit a kitchen: cream, peach, soft yellow and light orange. Blue as the main colour and black platforms or cabinets are traditionally avoided, since the kitchen belongs to the fire element.

I rent my flat and cannot repaint. What can I do?

Colour does not have to be on the wall. Curtains, bed linen, a rug, cushions, lampshades or a framed picture in the right shades do the same job, cost little, and move with you.

Does wall colour really change anything?

Colour changes how a room feels: light shades make a small Mumbai room brighter and calmer, and dark ones absorb light. Vastu adds a traditional scheme by direction. It is one supporting factor, not a fix for a serious problem.
