Vastu-friendly home decor

When people buy a new home or move in somewhere new, they decide on a hundred different ways to decorate their home. From the sculpture on the side table to the floating shelf in the hall, all of the details are decided beforehand. But, not many know that there are some decor elements, artistic ones, that are recommended by Vastu and can help with maintaining a good environment in the home. Here we list some artworks recommended by Vastu.


2/7

A sculpture or painting of Buddha

A Buddha sculpture or painting is a symbol of peace, wisdom, and enlightenment. Placing a Buddha statue in your home can help create a serene and calming atmosphere. According to Vastu, it is best to place the Buddha statue facing the main entrance, so it can welcome and bless those who enter the home.
Plus, the best direction to place a Buddha statue is the northeast corner of your home.

3/7

A painting of Radha Krishna

Vastu also recommends having a painting of Radha and Krishna inside the home. The painting is a beautiful addition and is considered a symbol of love, devotion, and togetherness. It is said that a Radha Krishna painting, when kept in the living room or the bedroom, helps a couple staying in the house come closer together and strengthens their relationship.

According to Vastu Shastra, placing a Radha Krishna painting in the South-West direction of the home is the best.

4/7

​Painting of seven horses

Another very popular Vastu-recommended artwork to have at home is the painting of seven horses. It is said that this painting helps in attracting success and prosperity. The number 7 is considered lucky, and horses are a symbol of speed, progress, and power. This combination makes a seven-horse painting an excellent choice for people who are experiencing a block in their career or finances.
The painting should be kept either in the South direction of the home or inside the office or workspace.

5/7

​Waterfall painting

Water has always been a symbol of abundance, purification, and life. It is what keeps us alive and is extremely important for life function. According to Vastu, a painting of a waterfall or a flowing water sculpture can improve the flow of calm and positivity within the house. If it is a sculpture, the slight sound of flowing or dripping water will help create a calmer environment.
The best place to hang a painting of a waterfall or place a flowing water sculpture is in the north or northeast direction of your home.

6/7

​Peacock paintings

Peacocks are known for their beauty and grace, and their presence in your home can bring joy, elegance, and positivity. According to Vastu, peacock posters or paintings can help remove any kind of negative energies from the home. Just like people place ‘morpankh’ in their homes to get rid of negativity, similarly, painting too can help better the atmosphere.
Plus, it is also believed that peacock paintings can improve the flow of money in the household as they break away any redundant energies.

7/7

​A pair of white bird sculptures

A pair of white birds are one of the most seen and common decorations in most shops. But, very few people know that these birds are Vastu recommended. White birds are symbols of peace, purity, and harmony and a pair of white bird sculptures can bring a sense of calm and love to the home. According to Vastu, white bird sculptures are great for having nice, positive relationships.
The best place to keep a pair of white bird sculptures is in the North-East direction of your home.
