1. Main Door Matters the Most

Your main entrance is considered the “gateway to energy.” It should face north, east, or northeast to allow positive energy to enter freely. Keep it well-lit, clean, and clutter-free. Avoid placing shoes directly in front of the main door.

Pro Tip: Hang a nameplate and place a toran (decorative band) with mango leaves or marigold to enhance welcoming vibes.

2. Kitchen in the Right Direction

The southeast corner is ideal for the kitchen, as it represents Agni (fire). If not possible, the northwest is the second-best option. Cooking should ideally be done while facing east.

Avoid: Placing your kitchen directly in front of the bathroom or main door.

3. Master Bedroom = Southwest

For stability and strong relationships, the master bedroom should be in the southwest corner. This direction symbolizes power and authority. Use earthy tones like beige, brown, or terracotta to amplify grounding energy.

Avoid: Placing the bed under a beam or in the northeast.

4. Pooja Room Placement

The ideal position for your puja room is in the northeast corner, known as the ‘Ishan’ corner, believed to be the most sacred. Keep it clutter-free and don’t use this space for storage.

Ensure: Idols are not placed directly on the floor and should face east or west.

5. Declutter the North Zone

The north direction represents prosperity and financial growth. Keep this area light, open, and clutter-free. Avoid placing heavy furniture or objects in this zone.

Try this: Place a money plant or a water feature like a small fountain here to attract wealth.

6. Mirrors Must Be Thoughtful

Mirrors reflect energy, so placement is crucial. Place them on north or east walls, but never directly opposite the bed, it can disrupt sleep and harmony.

Bonus Tip: A mirror reflecting your cash locker is considered to double your wealth (but be discreet!).

7. Toilets: Keep Them Out of the Northeast

Toilets and bathrooms should ideally be in the northwest or west directions. Having them in the northeast can lead to mental stress and health issues.

Fix: If relocating isn’t possible, use Vastu remedies like placing Vastu pyramids or sea salt bowls to neutralize effects.

8. Plants that Purify and Prosper

Vastu-friendly indoor plants like Tulsi (holy basil), money plant, bamboo, and peace lily not only purify the air but also invite positive energy. Avoid thorny plants like cacti indoors.

Best Placement: East or southeast corners for sunlight and energy flow.

9. Balance the Five Elements

Ensure a harmonious balance of the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—across your home. Use water features, candles, plants, and open spaces strategically.

Pro Tip: Avoid mixing fire (like kitchen stove) with water elements (like sink) directly next to each other.

10. Use Colours Wisely

Colours impact mood and energy. Use light blue, yellow, white, and green shades for positivity. Avoid overly dark or dull colours in living and sleeping areas.

Bonus: Paint the main door in earthy or bright colours to make it inviting and Vastu-compliant.
