The toilet is an important component of a home and as such should be built keeping Vaastu tips in mind. Here is what Vaastu says about your toilet or bathroom.

• According to vaastu, the bathroom should always be located in the North or the Northwest part of the house. If located in the wrong direction, it can lead to health and financial problems. Placement of bathroom in the South, South-east and South-west directions should be avoided. If the toilet is in the south it can cause bad effects on the health of female members of the family.
• The toilet should always be located in west or north-west direction. The toilet should not be constructed in the center, East or Northeast portions of the house. Also, the toilet seat should be placed such that the individual is facing the North or the South. The toilet should not be adjacent to the kitchen, pooja room or under the stairs.
• The electrical appliances and the switchboard should be installed in the south east corner of the bathroom or toilet. Showers and taps should be fixed in the north direction. Bath tubs can be placed in the east, west or even the northeast directions. You can put the wash basin and the shower in the north, east or the northeast directions. The north is a good place for hanging a vanity mirror.
• A water closet can be placed in the west and south direction of the toilet. The water closet is best placed near a window or an outer wall.
• The bathroom floor’s slope should be to the North. It should not slope away to the south west and the south east directions.
• The septic tank should be located in the northwest direction of the house. The level of the septic tank should be higher than that of the floor level of the building.

Wherever your glance travels, it sees a riot of colours everywhere. But do you know colours have astounding impact on one’s emotion, thought process and even health? For example, black colour adds to depression of an already depressed person and it is more likely that the person will fail to get rid of melancholy. On the other hand, if the person is surrounded with bright colours, it is likely to accelerate the healing process and one day, he/she will end up being an optimistic person.

That is why, colours are so important in Vaastu shastra. The ancient shastra has necessary rules and tips for those who want to colour their house and/or office. These guidelines will help you select the best colour combo in order to ensure that you and your family always live a lively, happy and healthy life. No color has a bad/negative impact on its own. Depending on the direction the color is used in, its impact changes. 

In this blog, we will discuss about what each of the following most important colours means in vaastu:

Red – Red being a bold colour represents passion, bravery, power, energy, action, emotion, aggressiveness and warmth. Red is stimulating in nature and believed to encourage a person to stay active. However, red colour is very stressful for the depressed and nervous persons and they should avoid it at any cost. Red resonates best with South and has an adverse effect in North. 

Green – Green stands for nature, growth, healing, abundance, fertility, energy, rebirth, relaxation, prosperity and abundance. Since healing is often represented by green, you will see plenty of green in hospitals. Green resonates well with East and South East. 

Blue – Blue is the colour of sky and water. The colour signifies beauty, peace, emotion, devotion, inspirations, truth, mercy and contentment. Blues helps in eliminating pain and fast-tracking the healing process. Blue signifies finances. Don’t use blue in small rooms and ensure to select lighter shades while painting the walls of your home. Try to avoid using more of this colour in your shop or office. Blue works wonders in North. 

White – White colour represents purity, innocence, openness, simplicity, cleanliness and luxury. It also signifies intimacy and privacy.  Though a very positive color, an excess isn’t recommended.
