Harmonise Your Living Spaces through the Practical Indian Tradition of Vastu.
Drawing on the ancient principles of Vastu Vidya, the Indian equivalent of Feng Shui, this book shows how to create beautiful interiors that will bring a deeper sense of contentment, prosperity and well-being to all aspects of your life.
Join Juliet Pegrum on an evocative journey through ancient India to chart the development of Vastu Vidya, from its origins around the first century BCE to the modern day. Learn how Vastu Vidya draws together the Vedic gods, the cardinal directions and the five elements in the Vastu Purusha Mandala, the cornerstone of Vastu Vidya and the grid on which all Vastu homes are planned.
Providing a complete repertoire of interior design, this book shows how this previously little-known Indian art of placement has been updated to accommodate the realities of our modern Western lifestyles.
The author offers inspirational advice on the layout and decoration of every room in the home - the hallway, living room, master bedroom and study, among others - as well as presenting ideas for outdoor spaces, such as gardens, patios, balconies and decks.
Throughout, Juliet Pegrum draws upon her dual expertise as an interior designer and Vastu consultant to tackle issues such as the use of paintings, mirrors and artefacts, and to instruct in the strategic deployment of light and colour. In addition, she shows how a simple rearrangement of furniture can rebalance the energy of your rooms so that it vibrates in harmony with the energy of the cosmos.
Assuming no prior knowledge of Vastu Vidya or interior design, this is a book for anyone who desires a setting that is peaceful and energising as well as beautiful. Whether you seek refreshing sleep in the bedroom or lively conversation at the dinner table, 'The Vastu Home' provides the answers, with simple yet exciting strategies for creating your perfect home.
