Vastu Colours as per Vastu Shastra and Modern Interior Design both have importance of Colours in the space. Like, Vastu: In the Northeast part of a house, light colors such as white cream or soft pastels are advised to bring peace and purity. Conversely, the southeast (fire zone) is energized by colours such as red or orange, which will evoke strong emotions of power and passion. So, URV can use some Vastu-friendly Colour Selections without interfering with their look.
3. Innovative Space Planning
Since Vastu deals with the science of space planning, URV can use it to its advantage functionally and aesthetic. Heavy fixtures such as sofas, or large storage cupboards can be placed along the wall on the south or west of the direction to maintain balance without affecting water flow. On the other hand, if we plan our space to let sunlight in the north and east Land then we design open spaces like patios or balconies in these directions, this may increase positive energy flow through this room but also increase light and visual perception of bigger room size.
