Your bedroom's colour scheme, bed direction and window treatments all affect the quality of your sleep and relationships, according to Vastu. Here's how to get it right.
The Master Bedroom Direction
Vastu places the master bedroom in the south-west corner of the home. This position, governed by the Earth element, brings stability, grounding and long-term security to relationships. The south-west is the heaviest directional energy — a bedroom here literally anchors the occupants.
Colours for the Bedroom
Soft, muted tones that promote rest are best: sage green, warm ivory, blush pink, soft lavender and light ochre. Avoid vibrant reds, bright oranges and stark whites, which are stimulating rather than restful. Our Bamboo Grove — Soft Linen Weave fabric in celadon creates the ideal calming atmosphere for a north-facing bedroom window.
The South-West Feature Wall
If your bedroom is in the south-west, the south-west wall is your power wall. A rich, earthy wallpaper here — deep terracotta, warm ochre or a dense floral pattern — grounds the room's energy. Our Rajputana Floral — Saffron & Gold fabric used as wall-to-wall curtains on a south-west window brings this principle to life beautifully.
Window Treatments and Light
Heavy curtains on south and west windows reduce harsh afternoon heat and the stimulating fire energy that makes sleep difficult. Opt for a lined linen curtain that filters but doesn't fully block light. The Mughal Peacock — Velvet Indigo curtain fabric with a blackout lining is our most popular bedroom window solution.
