Room with a smaller window don’t let in enough natural lights to the house. You feel tired here.
Potted plants & hanging basket plants at the window boxes can draw the energy into your home. Plant are very important as they filter the air, increases oxygen and energize a house with live positive energy. Any dried plants that you have in your windows must be discarded as they are lifeless and thus represent dead energy.
Square or rectangular windows are considered good as per vastu. Avoid arched windows which is not a harmonious design.
A situation where a window open to the east allows the sunlight to come into the home earliest in the morning. Windows at North & West is also considered good except at southwest corner which should be covered with curtain most of the time.
Colour of the curtain is equally important & can highly impact the quality of energy entering through windows. When putting curtains ensure that you get the right color according to the room. There should be a different color for children room, Bedroom as well as living area. Each room represents a different mood based on its utilization. So window curtain should always match with this requirement.
Pull all the curtains back during the day time to allow natural sunlight to give the positive energy to your house.
