Vastu Tips for Your Home
The main door is the starting point of your house. People can enter your property by the main door. It is actually the entry point of cosmic energy. It should be placed at the right position so it can receive positive energy from the universe. Your main door should be placed in the North or North-east direction as it is considered as the most auspicious position to attract divine blessings. East is also associated with growth and good health. You should not put old furniture, shoe racks and dustbins near your main entrance as it can block divine energies from entering.
Your living room is the source of the liveliness at your home. Its entrance should be in the North, North-east or east direction. You should use light colours like beige, ivory white, pearl, cream, etc. to colour your living room. These colours are beautiful and pure. No broken frames or handicrafts should be placed in the living room as they will emit negative energy. Any cracked mirror should be immediately discarded from the living room as it is believed to be a bad omen. Heavy furniture like sofa sets, large tables, and showcases should be placed in the West and South-west direction. Electronic appliances like AC, TV, Cooler, sound systems etc. should be placed in the South-east direction. Always keep your living room tidy and make sure it receives enough sunlight. It should have multiple large windows so the room remains airy.
Our bedrooms are our favourite part in the house. We spend our private time here. It’s no doubt a place for peaceful relaxation. The master bedroom should be in the South-west part of your home. The other bedrooms can be built in the North-west part. The bed should be placed at the centre of the room. Heavy furniture like wardrobes and almirahs should be placed at the North-west or South-west part of the room. The windows can be placed on the north and east walls of the bedroom. You must paint the room with decent colours like light blue, pink, light green and white.
The kitchen’s Vastu is very important as the food you take is getting prepared here. The kitchen should be situated in the South-east or North-west part of the property. The stove must be faced towards the East. It should be spacious and clean. The best paint colours for your kitchen are red, yellow and green.
The puja room is where you worship the lord. It is the most auspicious part of your home. It should be built in the North-east (Ishan Kona) of the house or flat. It can be at the middle part of the property also. The facing of the idols should be towards the East or North. You can paint it with light yellow or cream colour.
The Best direction to build a toilet is south of south-west(SSW) or west of north-West(WNW) corner of the house. You better use a wooden door in place of a metal one to improve positivity. The toilet should not share a wall with any of your bedrooms, kitchen and of course the Puja room as it may spread negativity to those places. The basin and the shower should be at the East or North-east section of the toilet. The toilet window must be in the East so the toilet can get sunlight and be airy.
