Planning a small home or flat? Every inch counts! Here’s your friendly, practical guide to align your space with Vastu without losing functionality or style:
1. Entrance & Foyer
- Where? North, East, or Northeast—this is where positive energy enters.
- Do: Keep the entryway well-lit, clutter-free, and welcoming. A red doormat and toran (door hanging) add warmth and auspicious vibes.
2. Living & Dining Area
- Location: Preferably North or East—the light and air here enhance positivity.
- Furniture Strategy: Place heavier items (like sofas) in South or Southwest corners. Digital setups like TV or gadget zones fit well in Southeast.
3. Master Bedroom
- Ideal Spot: Southwest—promotes restful sleep and stability.
- Bed Alignment: Headboard towards South or East; avoid placing mirrored wardrobes or beds under beams to prevent restless energy.
4. Children’s or Guest Room
- Best Sides: West or Northwest—great for creativity, calm, and growth.
5. Kitchen
- Placement: Southeast corner aligns with fire element; if not possible, Northwest is a good backup.
- Cooking Direction: Always face East while cooking. Keep stove and sink apart to avoid conflicting fire and water elements.
6. Bathroom & Toilets
- Best Locations: Northwest or North parts of the flat.
- Avoid: Northeast—linked with spiritual and prosperity energy. Always keep bathroom doors closed and ensure proper ventilation. Add a bowl of sea salt for extra energy balance.
7. Pooja or Sacred Space
- Golden Zone: Northeast (Ishan corner) brings spiritual light and clarity.
- Setup Tips: Use light, natural colors; idols facing East or North; avoid proximity to kitchen, bathrooms, or below stairs.
8. Study or Workspace
- Where: Northeast or East fosters focus and growth.
- Desk Orientation: Face East or North to enhance productivity. Keep the area well-lit and decluttered.
9. Windows, Light & Ventilation
- Strategy: Position windows towards North or East for maximum daylight and energy flow.
- Tips: In darker spaces, use glass doors, light curtains, or reflective décor to brighten the area.
10. Plants & Balconies
- Green Touch: A tulsi plant in the Northeast, money plant in Southeast, or bamboo near the entrance brings positive vibes.
- Balcony Placement: North, East, or Northeast ensures harmony—avoid Southwest balconies.
