Drawing Room: The Direction of North West is considered the best for guests or better to say for drawing room space. So for drawing room in this location give the touch of white color on walls.
Kitchen: The South East zone is considered ideal for the Kitchen placement and so it is must to have the touch of red or orange color on the walls of the space. Red or Orange represents fire.
Master Bedroom: By master bedroom we mean the room which will be occupied by the owners on whose name the property is. If you need to select the direction of this room then it should be ideally in the south-west direction and so need to have the touch of color blue on its wall.
Room for Kids: For Kid’s or young child the direction of North-west is best for them and especially for the ones who move out on daily basis for studies. This direction is ruled by Moon and so the colors of the wall need to be white.
Bathrooms or Rest Rooms: North West is again one of the best directions for Bathroom too. So the walls need to have white or cream color on it.

Colors which are considered un-auspicious for home:
Colors with light shades go well with every house and maintain a good balance of energy flow in the house. Dark shades of colors like brown, red, Gray and especially black do not suit luck of maximum people. These colors are owned by some fiery and cruel characters of astrology namely Sun, Saturn, Mars and Rahu. Although these planets play a very substantial role in the life of an individual still their owned colors applications are not advisable from Vastu point of view.
