Paintings & Pictures influencing Vastu of your House
Paintings & Pictures influencing Vastu of your house
Much of what we know today about ancient culture has been learned from ancient artwork. Philosophy and symbolism play a huge role in every culture. Every object in the house has its own energy has a strong influence on the people staying there. Paintings connect you to your personal life and culture.
Decorating a home with paintings and pictures is one of the best ways to bring life-supporting energies influencing finance, education, relationship, health, children as well as reputation.
Artwork adds an extra spark of elegance to your house & provides you the vibrant energy that you need to have a great day. Although painting preferences may vary from home to home, there are still some basic rules to keep in mind while choosing a painting.
Here's something fascinating: Professor Semir Zeki, a renowned neurobiologist at the University College of London, reveals that "When we gaze upon beauty, our brain's pleasure and reward centers light up with activity. Dopamine—that magical 'feel-good' neurotransmitter—floods through these areas. Essentially, these centers awaken with the same intensity we experience during moments of deep love and passionate desire."
Your subconscious is greatly influenced by your environment, which puts you in the mood to dream, relax and strengthen your imagination.
Let us share time-honored wisdom from Vastu Shastra (and even Feng Shui)—simple yet profound practices that will nurture harmony, peace, and positive energy throughout your beloved home.
How do you shape a living room that feels warm yet looks like a gallery? Many of us overlook how deeply the art in our home shapes the mood.
The pieces you choose greet every guest at the door and quietly honor your own story—your colors, memories, and dreams—through thoughtful paintings and soulful objects.
Wall art becomes the heart that breathes kindness and welcome into the room.
Recommended paintings for living room:-
Painting of deep path, Flowing river, rising sun, running horses, artificial window
Imagine a painting where water flows—river, waterfall, or a graceful fish—quietly guiding fresh, positive energy into your work and career. The movement reminds your space (and your heart) to keep moving forward.
Many Vastu & Feng Shui experts cherish the golden fish—whether a painting or sculpture—as a timeless symbol of prosperity. Its gentle glow invites growth, opens doors, and nurtures both career progress and money luck.
If you’re dreaming of a powerful career path, choose an image of an endless road. That open horizon whispers possibility—more chances, better ideas, and new beginnings waiting just ahead.

The gentle morning sun, with its healing light, deeply nourishes your well-being. It’s our most natural source of vitamin D. In spaces that miss the dawn, a rising-sun painting can invite that life-giving energy. Avoid images of the sun with a mountain—the mountain isn’t recommended in the solar zone, according to Vastu Shastra.
A bedroom is where you slip away, safe from the world’s noise and weight. It’s your sanctuary, a quiet cocoon, and each room carries a spirit of its own—threads of color and memory that gently become part of you.
Want a retreat that melts stress the moment you enter? Start with soothing colours and intentional wall art. Choose harmony-and-love themes to calm the heart. Place a pair of Warli love paintings in the bedroom; their tender rhythm adds a soft, romantic glow to the space. They whisper togetherness and invite rest.
Green bamboo artwork is a beautiful choice, symbolizing resilience, renewal, and quiet strength. Evergreen through all seasons, it gently blesses your home with steady, year-round vitality and health. For the best results, place it with accurate magnetic-compass alignment. This imagery is especially supportive when the bedroom lies in the southeast zone.
| Bamboo symbolically indicates growth in all season |
The deer embodies quiet endurance, tender grace, and a life that flows long—an ageless symbol of longevity. Place its artwork in the health sector of your bedroom to gently invite strength, balance, and lasting well-being.

Mountain painting in the southwest zone enhances the earth element. This is a good painting in the bedroom. It indicates strength, support, and stability.
There are several ways
to improve the relationship energy in your bedroom. Painting of hearts, birds,
flowers, etc. in a pair, photos of romantic holidays, happy couple
photographs are highly recommended in the bedroom of
a couple in a relationship zone. Love,
romance & harmony, you need more in life, then
use beautiful loving painting recommended by experts.
Paintings in Kids' room
Kids are always developing and it's important to keep this in mind while designing their rooms. Art helps in improving creativity through its many forms like painting or sculpture when displayed in kids' rooms. It encourages fine motor skills development in children as well as nerve development and problem-solving abilities.
Artwork which displays teamwork, speed, and creativity is best suitable in children's rooms.
Artwork for kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of any home, and it's easy to see why. It provides a space for gathering with friends and family over delicious food. When choosing artwork for your walls in this important room in your house always consider what you love about food - whether that be eating or creating something new.
Fire, together with
Water, Earth, Wind, and space is one of the five known basic
Elements, which represent the substance of the world. According to Vastu
Shastra, premises having missing fire activities at the fire element zone
suffers from poor health and slow money turnover. Painting beautiful
candles or lamp symbolically serves you as an alternate
source to the fire element.
Business paintings
A fascinating new study
examined how different types of workplace settings can affect employees'
well-being during the workday--the result? A negative impact if there is no
visual stimulus around them!
Art in the workplace can help to improve work productivity. A study of 500 employers found that companies with more artwork had higher revenues, lower absentee rates, and better company culture than those without any art on their walls. The presence of paintings or sculptures also made employees feel happier about themselves as well as being able to enjoy leisure time outside the office setting when they were not working which increased morale even further amongst them all too.
People looking for overseas or export business can use pictures of foreign currencies or the image of a foreign destination to improve travel luck. You can further enhance the energy of the painting by putting small copper pyramid chips (energy activator) behind the painting.
Recommended paintings for offices:-
Painting of overseas currency, endless paths, flowing rivers, tall buildings, etc.
- Paintings in the children's room, guest room, youngsters, etc should be placed with the advice of a Vastu expert. The wrong location of the painting can be harmful and invite unwanted problems.
- The water element in the earth zone are harmful, fire pictures in the water zone (northern) is dangerous, and Dominating earth element painting in the water zone may put your all work on stay.
- Select a picture that inspires you. The artwork should invoke instant vibrant but comfortable energy once you look at the picture. Pictures can be used to shift, improve, correct & balance the energy in your personal & business environment.
During our Vastu consultation, we have seen many houses having paintings that do not evoke any positive feelings. We have recommended various paintings to our clients in India as well as abroad for their various issues related to relationships, career, health, travel, creativity & money. They have experienced positive changes in their surrounding energy with recommended paintings.
FAQ on paintings
Q1: Are Vastu paintings necessary or just optional
décor?
Vastu paintings are not mandatory, but they are a high-impact, low-effort
remedy. If you're renting or can't renovate, paintings let you align room
energy without breaking walls. In our 34-year experience, clients who
pair structural Vastu with intentional art report faster, more noticeable
shifts in ambience and behavior.
Q2: Which painting brings prosperity to the home?
Rising sun, blooming lotus, flowing rivers, and golden fields symbolize growth
and abundance. Place them in the entrance, north wall, or northeast corner.
Colors: yellow, gold, light green, orange. Avoid sinking ships, wilted flowers,
or barren landscapes—they send the opposite signal.
Q3: Where should I avoid water and mountain motifs?
Water (rivers, oceans, waterfalls): Avoid in the south, southeast (fire
zones), and directly behind your bed (creates restless energy). Best in north,
east, northeast.
Mountains: Avoid in children's rooms (too heavy) and in front of your desk
(blocks forward movement). Mountains are grounding—place them behind you
(southwest, west) for support.
Q4: Can I keep religious art along with Vastu
paintings?
Yes, absolutely. Place religious art in the pooja room, northeast, or east
walls. Treat them with respect—avoid mixing sacred images with random décor on
the same wall. If your living room has a Ganesha painting, let it be the
hero—don't crowd it with unrelated themes.
Q5: Will Vastu paintings fix all my problems?
No. Vastu is a supportive environmental practice, not a magic cure.
Paintings create daily visual cues that influence mood and behavior, but
outcomes depend on many factors—relationships, health, career, effort, timing.
Think of Vastu paintings as part of a holistic lifestyle, like eating well or
exercising. They help, but they're not the only thing.

Q6: Is there a difference between apartment and villa
Vastu painting rules?
Core principles stay the same—directions, elements, themes. Villas offer more
flexibility (outdoor walls, multiple entry points). Apartments need to work
within fixed layouts, so focus on optimizing what you control: living
room, bedroom, entrance wall, study corner. Small spaces benefit more from one
impactful painting than multiple small ones.
Q7: Can I use digital art or printed posters, or must
it be original?
High-quality prints work fine—the visual impact and theme matter more than the
price tag. However, original art or limited-edition prints often carry
more intentional energy because an artist poured focus into them. If
budget allows, commission custom Vastu art from local painters—it personalizes
your space and supports artisans.

Is Your Home Healthy?- vastu guidelines
Is Your Home Healthy? - vastu guidelines
Good health is above the wealth. That’s because you cannot truly be a wealthy person if you do not have sound health. In today's environment, staying healthy and fit is vitally important.
As our lives are certainly not getting easier, the need to create a healthy and vibrant home environment cannot be overestimated. We have to have a safe, peaceful and energetically balanced space where our bodies can let down the daylong protective shield and focus on regenerating and self-healing.
Understanding some very basic vastu arrangement inside the house can help you to make profound changes toward better health for you and your loved ones. Health is the foundation stone for creating wealth and the ability to enjoy the wealth created. Your health is directly connected to your environment. You can improve your life and business by proper planning of home and work environment with the help of Vastu Shastra.
Energy Drain
In addition to the bad habits and sedentary lifestyle, there are other factors which also are equally responsible for the poor health. Your home environment could be a key element in the health condition of the family. Make your home clutter-free. Clutter is defined as unorganized things you do not love, that are unfinished and take up space within your home & life. Clutter-free environment makes you stress-free. However, there are a number of vastu techniques that you can use to stop the energy drain.
Good colors and lightings
Colour has a powerful effect on your mood & behavior. Each color is an expression of a certain kind of energy. Color is able not only to affect our mood but also has an influence on our health. If you have a too dark color in your home then you could suffer from depression, allergies & colds.
Lighting transforms a space. The use and moderation of light, be it natural or artificial, is important in Vastu, as it influences and defines the atmosphere of a home. It also has a powerful effect on our personalities and can depress, stimulate or relax us. Rooms that are poorly lit are depressing and can strain the eyes. Create a more restful environment with lights, and rooms become soothing and comfortable, helping us to unwind from outside stresses in a calming and nurturing environment.
Check at your health sector?
The health corner of the home is located in the east sector, a direction of a sun – a vital energy force. Is there a bathroom/toilet there? Is there a storeroom ? If so, you will want to make it as clean and clear as possible. Use of rock salt, crystal, sun painting and colors in this area can effectively neutralize the negatives of the wrong placement.
Is your bedroom is located in the proper direction?
The bedroom is one of the critical areas of the house. Make sure the bed is positioned correctly and in the positive direction. Eliminate views to the bathroom or toilet or mirror or water feature. Clear off surfaces regularly, making the room as clean and clear as possible. Make this room as healthful as possible.
If you suffer from insomnia, it is a good idea to look at your bedroom and determine how you can improve its energy flow in order to promote a good night’s sleep. Some common causes of sleep problems include too many mirrors in the bedroom, colors that are too bright instead of muted or objects that tend to create "poor energy," and objects stored under the bed, which generate stagnant, negative energy that is absorbed by your body when you’re in bed.
Are there health symbols around your house?
According to vastu & even feng shui, certain objects, and symbols promote longevity and good health. These include the sun, deer, bamboo plants, crystals, fountains etc. Even pictures that feature the elements of vastu are considered to be auspicious health symbols.
Some people put fish tanks or water fountains either for decoration or suggested by the consultant. Make certain you have clean fish tanks or fountains. Dirty water equates to poor health and vitality, poor energy and it can affect your finances, too!
Create a healthy environment with Vastu Shastra and begin to change the way you feel.
These are general guidelines which can be safely applied to your house. However, if you are serious about achieving sound health, then a personalized consultation is recommended.

Roads - How they affect your vastu
Roads - How they affect your vastu
Certain features in your external environment can affect positively or negatively on the vastu of your building. Location of the road and open space are highly important in the vastu shastra. Let us examine how the road and surrounding affects fortune of the site owner & his family:-T- Junction
The Situation When a house faces a T-junction, it is like a gun being pointed straight at the house.
The T-junction acts like a funnel drawing negative energies towards the house. People staying in such houses are always in troubles.
Business premises located at T junction will face instability.
We have seen a lot of business house located at T junction has been closed down in a short period of time.
The Effects
The occupants of such a house could suffer from poor health and may be accident-prone. Business premises located at T junction will face instability.
The Solution
If possible, reposition the front door or gate so that it does not directly face the road running up to the entrance.
&
A low fence or a hedge should be built with a gate as a barrier to the negative energies.
Vastu partition strips and vastu helix are the alternative solutions/remedies for correcting a T junction defect.
Location of Road
Building or Plot having a road at East or North - Overall prosperity
Building or Plot having a road at South - Not Good
Building or Plot having a road at west - Average
If there are two roads surrounding the premises:-
Roads at North and East - Good Prosperity
Roads at East and south road - Good for females
Roads at South and west - Average
Roads at West and north - Good
Roads at North and south - Average
Plot having four side road - Best plot
Plot located at dead end of the road - highly dangerous
Veedhi Shoola – Approaching Road
Veedhi Shoolas is said to occur when roads approach the site. Some of these are considered bad while the others don't matter much.
·There are four prime road approaches, which are considered to be highly positive and there are other four approaches, which are considered to be highly negative.
The road approaching from North East of East is considered to be a very good situation because it gives name, fame, and prosperity to the owner of the house or plot.
The road coming from North-East of North is also considered good as it gives better and excellent prosperity and financial soundness to the owner. As the availability of these plots is rare they should be bought whenever found.
The road from North-West of the west is good as it offers excellent business propositions, more contacts, better friendships relations and satisfies political aspirations. Ladies will flourish and all-round happiness is present in such premises/plots.
The road approach from Southeast of South is also good as it brings good luck in finance and offers excellent financial status for the owner.
The road from Southeast of East may cause financial misery and legal problems.
The road coming from Southwest of West is an invitation to bad luck. Such location should be avoided under any circumstances.
The road approaching from Southwest of South is highly inauspicious. It may result into serious bad luck and loss of health.
The road approaching from Northwest of the north may result into instability in business as well as income.
Some Vastu Remedies to correct T-Junction Roads:-
Place copper pyramid strip (energy partition), if you have access from the south road only. This can be placed in multiple of 9Fix 3 or 9 Round Brass Helix, if the road is projected from North of northwest
