The principles laid down by Vastu Shastra help align human spaces with the natural world; thus, colours play an important role in bringing balance and harmony to a home. As per Vastu, every space in the house is ruled by specific directions and elements, and colours help enhance the overall energy flow of a place. Here’s a look at six lucky colours and the rooms and directions they are best suited for.

Blue

As per Vastu, blue mimics the qualities of the sky and the ocean. Just as you feel calm and peaceful in the presence of a water body, it is the same energy you feel with blue in your space. Lighter shades of the hue brings a sense of relaxation. In Vastu, the north-east direction, when painted in light blue, can help with progress in career.
