Add much sparkle and zest to your house using Vastu tips

Naturally, you want a bright, happy home! In there, comfort, warmth, beautiful decorations and great ambience should radiate a heartening glow. The Panchtattva (Five Elements) Theory and energies of the 16 MahaVastu zones together can give you all this plus a great life. Use the ancient wisdom of the Vastu Shastra to learn the use of colours, artefacts; even plants to beautify and raise house energy levels. 

In the northern zones, blue, green, black and white colours are suitable, while in the southern zones, red and green bring in healthy Fire energy. The western zones are dominated by white and cream shades, and the eastern zone by brown, green and white. For example, in the North-East zone, the use of the cream colour is good. You must ensure that the kitchen, toilet, sink, dustbin or broom is not in this zone. It can erode mental and physical health. Avoid placing plants here; instead a picture/statue of Buddha here will fill your house with peace.  In the North zone, for a fresh atmosphere, place flowers in a green flower vase, or a money plant in a blue vase—it will increase money flow.

If you have a good main entrance, then decoration will enhance its energy-attracting quality further. If not, a simple Vastu consultation will help you correct it with a simple Vastu remedy. In case you wish to use rangoli as decoration, a few tips follow. For a North zone entrance, avoid using red, purple and orange colours and triangular designs. Use blue colour and a wavy design and keep your wealth, prosperity and opportunities intact. In the South zone entrance, blue colour could affect your security, so use shades of red, orange and purple and triangular designs.
