Vastu tips for home

Your environment influences your experience so make it a positive one by properly organizing living space, according to

vastu which will attract good luck, prosperity, and health. Vastu for home is a collective approach and Living a joyful, satisfied

life is possible only when the space you live has positive vibes. Good Vastu Layout has a significant impact on Lifestyle and

Health. So let’s have a look at some vastu tips to create a positive environment.

Enterance: The main entrance to a home is not only the entry point for the family, but also for energy. The main enterance

can be constructed as per the diagram below. The ideal directions of locating main enterance are NE/N/E/ S of SE/ W of NW

Avoid placing a fountain, shoe rack or dustbin outside the main door. Decorate your door with beautiful nameplates and

auspicious torans and ensure your main door opens in a clockwise manner

Pooja/Spiritual Room: The east or north-east part can be used for meditation, yoga and other spiritual pursuits.
Facing east while doing puja or meditation will increase positivity. Enhance the positivity of this zone by decorating it with
candles or incense sticks. White, beige, light yellow or green are great colour options for the room.

Living Room: The living room can be constructed in east, north, north-east and north-west. While you must ensure thatheavy furniture should be kept in the west or south-west direction of the living room. All electronics and appliances shouldbe installed in the south-east section of the living room. Also, you can place a mirror in on the north wall which will duplicatethe energy of north zone & will bring good luck.

Courtyard:  It is the cosmic Centre of the Home and is considered to be the holiest and most powerful zone of the house.

So this part of the house should be spotless and clutter-free. A circumference of 1 to 1.5 metres of the Brahmasthan should
not have any obstructions or built-up area. The placement of the kitchen, bathroom or a pillar/beam in this area can attracts
negative energy. This could have an adverse effect on the health of your family members

Bedroom:  This is one of the most important rooms of the house as the bedroom can enhance positive energy and even

improve relations between couples. Ideally, the bedroom in a south-west direction brings good health and prosperity.
The bed should be placed in the southwest corner of the bedroom, with your head facing west. Avoid placing a mirror or
television in front of the bed as it causes fights and other domestic disruptions. Avoid having a temple, paintings depicting
water or a fountain in the bedroom as it could cause emotional outbursts. Paint your bedroom walls in neutral or earthy
shades as it radiates positive energy. Avoid painting your walls black. Use mood lighting and burn aromatic oils to create an
oasis of calm.

Kitchen:  The kitchen is an integral part of any Indian household—the source of our day-long energy. The kitchen should be

constructed in SE zone as this zone is ruled by fire element. NW can be the second option for this. All the objects inside the
kitchen represent fire, so gas stoves, cylinders, microwave ovens, toasters, among other appliances should be placed in the
south-east part of the kitchen. Water sources like washbasins should never be kept on the same platform or parallel to fire
objects like cooking range, which include the gas cylinder and oven. Paint your kitchen with vibrant colours like yellow, rose,
chocolate brown, green, orange or red.

Toilet & Bathroom:  Toilets and bathrooms are – or tend to become – a major source of negative energy. Bathroom should
be located in North or North-West portion of the house. Toilet should be located in west or northwest direction. Avoid
construction of toilet at the centre and in the east, northeast of the house. The toilet seat should be placed in such a way
that the person sitting could face the North or the South. It should not be adjacent to Pooja Room, kitchen and under the
stairs. Geyser and other electrical appliances like heater and switchboard should be installed in south-east corner of
bathroom. Taps and showers are fixed in north direction. Septic tank should be in northwest of the house

Colors Scheme:  Go for a combination of vibrant, cool, harmonious and, also energetic colors as per the zones.

Plants:  Place a Tulasi/tulsi plant at northeast or north or east sector of the house which can transform any bad energy into
positive and good energy.
Cactus plants are considered to be exceptionally negative plants to have in your house or home. It can seriously affect your
health & relationship.
