How to Create a Harmonious Living Space
In today's world, where stress and chaos often surround us, our homes have become more than just shelters—they are sanctuaries. But did you know that the way your home is designed and organised can affect your health, peace, and prosperity? This is where the ancient science of Vastu Shastra comes in.
Whether you're building a new house or want to improve your current one, understanding Vastu for home can help you create a space filled with balance, positivity, and energy flow.
What is Vastu Shastra?
Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian architectural science that harmonises your living environment with natural elements and cosmic energies. It focuses on the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—and their ideal placement in your home. When aligned correctly, these elements bring health, happiness, and success to the occupants.
Why Vastu Matters for Your Home ?
Our homes are energy fields. The way we design and place each room influences how energy flows—positively or negatively. Vastu helps balance energy in a scientific and spiritual way, ensuring that your space supports your well-being on all levels—physical, mental, and emotional.
Vastu Guidelines for a Happy Home
Here are some simple but powerful Vastu tips you can apply in your home:
Main Entrance
Ideally, the main door should face east or north.
Keep the entrance clean and well-lit—it’s the gateway for positive energy.
Avoid placing dustbins, broken items, or clutter near the entrance.
Living Room
The best location is in the northeast or north.
Arrange seating so that guests face east or north.
Use soothing colours like light blue, green, or beige.
Kitchen
It should be in the southeast corner (the fire element zone).
The stove should be on the eastern wall, and you should face east while cooking.
Keep water and fire sources apart (e.g., sink and stove).
Bedrooms
The master bedroom should be in the southwest for stability.
Sleep with your head to the south or east to improve rest.
Avoid mirrors directly in front of or beside the bed.
Puja Room
Place it in the northeast corner of the home.
Deities should face west or south, so you pray facing east or north.
Avoid puja rooms in bedrooms or under staircases.
Toilets/Bathrooms
Ideal placement is northwest or southeast.
Never place a toilet in the northeast corner.
Always keep the door closed and maintain cleanliness.
Vastu-Friendly Decor & Remedies
Use indoor plants like tulsi or bamboo to invite fresh energy.
Place a bowl of rock salt in corners to absorb negativity.
Hang positive artwork and avoid images of sadness or violence.
Use natural materials like wood, clay, or cotton in furniture and fabrics.
Modern Vastu for Contemporary Homes
You don’t need to demolish or rebuild to apply Vastu. Modern Vastu is logical and adaptable. Small changes like furniture rearrangement, colour corrections, adding mirrors or crystals, and using natural light can help balance your space without structural alterations.
