🏠 Interior Decoration and Vastu
Excess use of black stone increases Rahu’s effect (worries). Too much white creates over-ambition. White is auspicious if Venus is strong, inauspicious if weak. Yellow benefits when Jupiter is strong; otherwise, it creates conflicts. Balanced use of colours aligned to zodiac and planets ensures harmony.
