When it comes to creating a home filled with harmony, positivity, and prosperity, Vastu Shastra goes far beyond architectural layout—it also includes one of the most overlooked elements: lighting. According to Vastu experts at Aarya Astro Science, the way you light up your home can deeply influence the energy flow, emotional well-being, and mental clarity of those living within.
Whether it’s natural sunlight pouring through your windows or the glow of artificial lighting at night, illumination plays a key role in how Vastu energy (or Prana Shakti) moves through your home. With the right lighting aligned to Vastu principles, you can effortlessly enhance your surroundings for peace, productivity, and prosperity.

Why Lighting Matters in Vastu
Vastu believes that light is not just a physical necessity—it’s spiritual nourishment. Just as darkness can breed stagnation and negative energy, light invites clarity, growth, and inspiration. Properly lit spaces uplift the mood, strengthen health, and attract positive vibrations.
According to Vastu Shastra:
- Natural sunlight symbolizes divine energy and is best harnessed in the morning.
- Dim or poorly-lit rooms attract sluggishness, confusion, and emotional heaviness.
- Strategic artificial lighting can be used to balance out flaws or low-energy areas in a home or office.
Vastu Guidelines for Lighting in Different Areas
Living Room
- Ideal lighting: Warm white or yellow lights to foster a welcoming and joyful environment.
- Place lights in the south or southeast corners.
- Avoid harsh white lighting—it creates a sterile or disconnected vibe.
Entrance or Main Door
- Keep it well-lit at all times to invite wealth and positive energy.
- Use decorative lamps or spotlights to highlight the entrance.
Kitchen
- Ensure ample lighting, especially in the southeast (the fire zone).
- Use bright white or warm white lights to encourage energy and vitality.
Bedroom
- Use soft, soothing lights—preferably in the southwest.
- Avoid red or very bright lights that disturb sleep.
- Install dimmers if possible for nighttime relaxation.
Study Room
- Bright white light is recommended.
- Place a table lamp on the southeast side of the desk.
- Ensure the student faces east or north while studying.
Bathroom
- Keep lighting clear and bright, especially near the mirror.
- Avoid flickering or dim lights—they may create energetic instability.
Balconies or Outdoor Spaces
- Add string lights, lanterns, or solar-powered lamps in corners to maintain Vastu balance at night.
- Don’t leave dark corners—they block energy flow.
Vastu Tips for Lighting Remedies Without Renovation
- Use salt lamps or Himalayan rock lamps in corners to neutralize negativity.
- Install mirrors in poorly lit areas to reflect and multiply light.
- Burn ghee diyas or camphor lamps in the northeast during early morning or evening to invite divine blessings.
- LED strips or spotlights in false ceilings (especially in north or east) help raise energy flow.
- Avoid blue or red lighting in the bedroom or kitchen—they may disturb the natural energy pattern.
