Vastu-Approved Colours for Pets’ Corner

  • Posted: Tuesday May 20, 2025

Creating a harmonious living space extends beyond human occupants—our beloved pets also thrive in environments designed with intention. Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture, emphasizes the profound impact of colour on energy flow and well-being. When applied to pets’ spaces, Vastu-compliant colour schemes can promote calmness, vitality, and emotional balance.

This article presents a comparative analysis of Vastu principles and modern colour psychology, offering actionable insights for designing an optimal pets’ corner.

The Significance of Colour in Pet Spaces

Scientific studies confirm that animals perceive and react to colours differently than humans. For instance:

  • Dogs see blues and yellows most vividly.
  • Cats distinguish between blues and greens but struggle with reds.
  • Birds have excellent colour vision and respond to vibrant hues.

Meanwhile, Vastu Shastra associates colours with elemental energies (earth, water, fire, air, space) that influence mood and behaviour. Combining these perspectives allows pet owners to create spaces that are both energetically balanced and visually comfortable for animals.

Vastu vs. Modern Colour Theory: A Comparative Analysis

 

Colour Vastu Perspective Modern Pet Psychology Best For
Blue Calming, reduces aggression (water element) Lowers stress, promotes relaxation Anxious pets, resting areas
Green Harmonious, connects with nature (earth) Mimics outdoor safety, soothing Healing spaces, birds
Yellow Energizing, enhances joy (fire element) Stimulates playfulness (dogs see it well) Play zones, active pets
White Pure, promotes positivity (space element) Creates openness; may feel sterile Small spaces, cleanliness
Avoid: Dark Red/Black Aggression, lethargy (negative energy) Overstimulating or gloomy for pets Not recommended

Key Takeaways:

  • Vastu focuses on balancing energies through colour-element alignment.
  • Modern science emphasizes how pets visually and psychologically perceive hues.
  • The ideal approach merges both for a pet-friendly, energetically positive space.
