A house or a home? The dictionary might state that both are the same, but what makes them different is the emotional gap. A house is made of walls, a bunch of furniture, high-tech interiors, and all things materialistic. On the other hand, a home is made of warmth, togetherness, positive vibes & love. When it comes to home designing, Vastu Shastra is often considered an important aspect to take care of, especially in Indian households. Vastu Shastra is the science of architecture which is believed to make a home happy & harmonious. Vastu interiors can be incorporated via design layouts, measurements, geometry, furniture arrangement, accessorial additions, etc. Though Vastu Shastra is highly dependent on the architecture of the house, if required, one can make their home Vastu-compliant with interior shifts.
Vastu Shastra is like an ancient guide that aims to balance the five elements of the earth to bring about the maximum level of positive energy. The major objective of Vastu interiors is to make the space harmonious with nature. Many Vastu Specialists believe Vastu-sensitive homes reflect negative energy that might disbalance the harmony in a family. Those who hold an interest in Hindu religious belief must practice Vastu Shastra beliefs to usher health amongst loved ones, prosperity, wealth & welfare of the family members. Here are some tips that one can utilize to rectify the negative energy and boost some positive vibes-
1. ADD PAINTINGS
Vastu interiors are highly reliant on directions. Experts say that adding paintings having water elements in a northeast direction can bring financial stability & good fortune. The southwest direction should have paintings of tall buildings or mountain ranges which signifies the presence of solidity and steadiness.
2. INCORPORATE GREENERY
Vastu Shastra states that greenery must be incorporated in the east direction. Vastu interiors with green color help in improving the intellectual ability and concentration level. To have the best interior design for a home, incorporating green plants is a must. Plants like Tulsi can be placed in the northeast, east, or north direction to add a sense of relaxation and positivity in the home. Money plant, considered as the harbinger of success, should be placed inside the house to keep negative energies at par. Desk plants like jade, jasmine, peace lily, etc., also add a good luck charm to your life. Green is also considered a healing color and is said to help people with low immunity, heal quickly.
3. ILLUMINATED SPACES
Lighting helps a place look inviting and bright. It impacts the mood of a space, i.e., poor lighting evoking dull & uninviting sense in the space. As per Vastu Shastra, it is important to have uniformity in lighting throughout your interiors. To have perfectly aligned Vastu interiors in the kitchen, the cabinets, pantry, and storage areas should be lighted from the inside. The main entrance of your home should also be well-illuminated. If you have an accent wall with your family picture as the highlight, do add a spotlight or focus lights.
4. CHOOSE SUBTLE COLORS
Colors have a great impact on our lives and have the power to stimulate our minds and mood. In Vastu Shastra, every color possesses certain energy, that should be considered carefully to maintain balance in your home. Vastu interiors include colors that are less aggravating and more pleasant. Colors like white, blue, green, coral red, tones of yellow, silver-white, etc., are considered auspicious for the home.
