The Vastu Home: Harmonize Your Living Spaces Through the Practical Indian Tradition of Vastu

By Juliet Pegrum

Book Overview

Based on the ancient principles of vastu vidya, the Indian art of placement, The Vastu Home shows how to create a beautiful home while bringing a deeper sense of contentment, prosperity, and well-being to one’s life. Readers learn how to enliven dinner table conversation, create a relaxing atmosphere for soaking in the bath, and arouse passion in the bedroom by positioning furniture, using color and light, and incorporating plants, paintings, mirrors, and other decorative elements. With recommendations for every budget, and illustrated with 80 photos as well as historical Indian images and art, The Vastu Home includes suggestions for both simple adjustments and complete redesigns to home, garden, and patio. Assuming no prior knowledge of vastu vidya, the book traces its principles and development from ancient India to the present day. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Not just Vastu tradition, but a wonderful sense of style

This interesting book provides a useful introduction to the Vastu tradition, which many have compared to feng shui. However, the photographs in this book demonstrate a great sense of style, color, and design. Designers and even architects will find something of use here.
