Painting these colours on the drawing room walls can bring peace and abundance in your family

Who doesn’t love an aesthetically pleasing house that radiates your energy and vibe? And this is what makes us experiment with a plethora of shades and hues while painting the house. While most of us keep the beauty and vibe in mind and overlook the Vastu needs of the house. Yes, this may sound strange, but everything from a nail to an artifact has energy and Vastu shastra aligns these energies to bring a wave of positivity, happiness and abundance, but is the colour of your drawing room actually aligned with Vastu shastra? Well, read on to find out…

Why is the color so important?

According to Vedic astrology and Vastu Shastra, the colors you choose for your drawing room walls can harmonize planetary energies and bring happiness and good health and foster peace (Shanti) and abundance (Samriddhi) in family life. This is because, as per Vedic astrology, the drawing room basically governs the 4th house of home and relationships, which grows when painted with shades that can balance the five elements of life—earth, water, fire, air, and ether. It can also help invoke Goddess Lakshmi's blessings for prosperity and seek Chandra's blessings for emotional calm. In 2026's Jupiter-influenced transits, painting the wall with the right colors can neutralize doshas like Rahu's chaos and bring in happiness, harmony, luck and wealth.

Soft Cream

It is believed that coloring the drawing room with a soft cream or ivory color can radiate the moon's nurturing energy and glow, soothe aggression and calm the mind, bring harmony and peace to the family. Apply this colour with northeast-facing strokes on Fridays for receiving Goddess Lakshmi's subtle blessings.

Muted Green

Colour the drawing room with this Muted emerald green colour can help attract Venus. This is because this hue attracts the planet Venus and activates the heart chakra energies in the living space. It is also linked to Mercury's energy as it draws career opportunities and financial inflows for family members. Painting during waxing moon phases, paired with indoor plants, is a good way to attract wealth.

Warm Terracotta

This warm and vibrant colour, warm terracotta, can evokes Mars' stable fire energy, which can help in bonding family through shared warmth and will keep egos and aggression at bay, which is ideal for south-direction walls; it dispels isolation, fostering laughter-filled conversations. Infuse intention with "Om Angarakaya Namah" chants while painting to ignite passionate yet peaceful togetherness.
