8 Divine Puja Room Colours & Combinations
Read on to know how you can create a trendy yet reverential ambience with these puja room colours
Colours can be great mood influencers; hence, all the more reason to pay particular attention to that special space in our homes – the puja room. The colours you pick for your place of prayer and meditation should enhance its serenity and create an oasis of calm, yet make a subtle statement. Here, we list a few ideas for puja room colours which will help you do just that.
2. Cream and beige
Neutral tones afford the perfect backdrop for a calm and peaceful environment. This prayer space has layers of varying tones of neutrals throughout, from the blinds in the background to the off-white walls to the slightly darker wooden base – even the marble idols complement the neutral palette.
Tip: Using different hues of the same colour prevents the room from looking stark and relieves the monotony.

3. Lustrous gold
For those who want the pep of yellow but not its jarring brightness, go for gold or a glossy molten mustard. This prayer room is enveloped in a warm radiance bouncing off all its surfaces. The gold also has a broadening effect, making the small space look larger than it is.

4. Beautiful black
Black is not often the first choice for a puja room colour, but if done the right way (like in this image), it can look modern and minimalist, yet retain the air of quietude necessary for a prayer space. The trick is to offset the darkness of black with lighter colours which either contrast or complement it. Here, the black granite floor and backdrop of the altar is set off by the off-white wall and ceiling. The wooden altar finds a resonance in the lone wooden wall, tying together the different elements.

5. Warm brown
Brown is the colour of solid strength and comfort, signified in this room via the use of wood all over. The surfeit of brown is offset by a glossy beige marble floor. The all-brown palette makes this space look homely and warm – apt for a room devoted to communing with the deity.
Tip: If you feel an all-brown colour scheme might look a tad boring, relieve the monotony by layering with other tints from the same family.

6. Two-toned colours
Using dual tones as a puja room colour combination is a great way of introducing a strong, bright colour which, by itself, might seem too harsh for a small space. For instance, the bright red bordering the altar here lends just the right amount of colour and vividness to the puja room, without dominating it.

7. Monochrome
A black-and-white colour scheme is timeless, elegant and always on trend, so why not use it in the puja room, too? The neutral surfaces give depth to this small space while the boundaries are set on both ends of the room with the use of dark timber in the altar and on the door.

White is fail-safe, especially for a puja room wall colour, as it exudes a pure and unblemished feel. This minimalist corner, with white walls in differing textures and designs, exudes a soothing ambience, with the only token of worship being a pair of idols at the far end of the room, highlighted by twin spotlights that keep the focus on the puja platform.
Tip: When designing with white, use easy-to-clean materials such as marble, laminate or glossy paints.
