Vastu Shastra, the ancient vedic science of spaces, can be actually used to create a stress-free and harmonious environment at home, that can cultivate love and enhance compatibility in a relationship. If implemented correctly under the tutelage of a vastu expert, it can make your life better and rid of troubles and friction.
* For happy marital life, clarity of thought amongst the partners is most important. This can be ensured by using blue or purple hues in the north-east direction.
* Fire element (kitchen) in south-east direction helps keep the women mentally and physically stable. Use the colour orange in this direction.
* Ensure the master bedroom is in south-west direction—this helps keep the man level-headed and stable.
* Choose slightly dark blue or grey for the children’s room or guest bedroom.
* According to vastu, choose soft or pastel coloured lighting for your lampshades. Pink or light-coloured sheets with florals are recommended.
* The exact position of the bed in the master bedroom should be either in the south region or south-west, but never in between the two, because that can lead to marital issues.
* The bedroom should be a square or a rectangle and not have an awkward layout with sharp corners.
* Avoid metal bed as they disturb sleep and create tension among partners. Choose a single or queen size bed. One should strictly avoid two beds or mattresses joined together.
* The wall colours should be light and soothing and the ambience appealing—think pink or peach colour in the south-west direction.
* A mirror directly facing the bed should be avoided. The larger the mirror, the greater the chance of strain in the marital relationship.
* The north-east corner of the room should not be cluttered. Indoor plants, white flowers in the north corner and purple or red roses in the south-west corner help improve relationships.
* Computers and TV are not only hazards of a modern lifestyle, as per vastu too, they shouldn’t be placed inside the room. Cover all these devices with a cloth at night.
* Keep your head in the south direction while sleeping.
* For a happy married life, make sure there are no single pieces of decoration in the room, such as a single duck or a single butterfly. Keep them in twos, symbolic of love.
* Family photo in south-west and couple photo in the west direction is highly recommended.
