Rooted in ancient Indian architectural science, Vastu is essential for creating spaces that foster harmony between individuals and their surroundings. As contemporary design evolves, integrating Vastu into interiors becomes increasingly relevant. In a time when the impact of our built environment on mental and emotional well-being is recognized, Vastu offers universal principles that promote positivity —making it the perfect foundation for festive décor during Diwali. We got in touch with Delhi-based architect and interior designer Kuntal Vyas, who is also the founder of Resaiki Interiors and Architecture Design Studio in the capital city to know more about creating a vibrant atmosphere that can reflect an individual style while aligning with Vastu principles.
Celebrate with natural decor
Infusing your festive decorations with natural elements enhances ambiance and aligns with wellness principles. Floral centerpieces and garlands bring the freshness of nature indoors, elevating the festive spirit. Traditional rangoli designs made from turmeric and flower petals add beauty and auspiciousness to your celebrations. Opt for sustainable choices using natural materials like clay pots and eco-friendly decorations. This mindful approach will ensure that your home reflects both the festive spirit and sustainability, creating a balanced environment.
Harmonize color palette with Vastu
According to Vastu, using directional colors — like light blue in the north for calmness and red in the south for vitality — can enhance the positivity of each room. Add gold accents for an inviting and celebratory feel. Pair gentle pink and beige hues with deep blues and greens to introduce a sense of luxury and natural balance. Consider incorporating these colors in smaller corners with accents like throw pillows, rugs, and curtains.
