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.
