suitable colors for a bedroom is brown and its shades.You can see that mainly
bedroom is used for sleeping, relaxation and physical pleasures. Hence, blue
color is most suitable for relaxation and a pink shade symbolizes love, which
are majorly masculine and feminine respectively. So give a blend of these
colors with stability of brown color to create a balance between you and your
better half.

blue and more of red colors in kid’s bedrooms they may lead to health issues
and temperament issues respectively. For kids bedroom you can choose light
green and light yellow shades of colors which will help them in concentrating
in their studies.

the place where you entertain your guests and relatives; also your family
spends time together. Keeping this in mind you should choose the colors which
are welcoming and composed. Colors suitable for your living room are yellow,
green, blue, beige and tan shades. You can use more of white color in your
living room, but only white will not give a lively feel, so use tinges of some
other light colors with white shades.

4. Cooking food in kitchen can become more interesting:As kitchen is the
place of ‘Fire’ element, a touch of red color must be present; it might be the
dinner set of red shade or some red stripes here and there in kitchen. White,
orange, yellow, rose pink, silver and light chocolate are the suitable colors
to be used on kitchen walls and floor. You should avoid using much of dark
colors in the kitchen but some of it will work.
5. Have dinner with good vibes: Some people prefer having separate
dining rooms rather than having it attached with the kitchen. Green, pink and
blue colors are suitable for dining areas,these are somewhat similar to the
kitchen shades. For separate dining rooms, you can color the walls different from
the kitchen.
6. Take a relaxing bath: Light colors are preferred for bathroom and toilets such as
white, gray, mixture of white and black, shades of light blue, pink and lime
green. Again, avoid using complete dark colors in bathroom and toilets.
Recommended color as per vaastu for bathroom is white and blue shade walls or
tiles.
7. Welcome positivity from Entrance Area or Main Door: According to Vaastu
and Fengshui, entrance area is the most important as every positive or negative
energy enters your house from here. Depending upon the location of the door,
the color may vary, but green color is a must to have in the entrance area. You
can opt for any color which will look fine in the mishmash with green color,
just keep in mind to have some green color in entrance or near main door. Good
small green plants can also be the option which you can place near the main
door or entrance.

yellow and other light colors are suitable for garage, staircase and lobby area
in the house as per the vastushastra. The use of dark colors might create a
