How to manage the interiors with vastu

The stone of Vaastu is to make us live in harmony with nature taking advantage of the magnetic fields, gravitational effects etc. of the earth, the rainfall, the galaxy and the whole of the nature and the universe and duly invoking the blessing of the Gods of the directions. Doing interiors with the Vaastu is a bit difficult job but if everything is planned carefully, one can open the doors of the prosperity for themselves. Now we will discuss every room in the detail. Every room has their eight directions again, so one must be aware of the facts how to design the rooms.

Worship / Pooja Room: It has been known the Pooja room is best suitable in the North - East corner of the house, now Pooja room has its own directions. The deity should face West, can face East or North but it should NEVER face South. North - East zone is considered most appropriate for worship for another reason also. In the morning the sun’s rays straight fall on North - East Side of the house which is most auspicious and good for health. It keeps our mind fresh and the soul pure and clean - a thing needed utmost for real prayer. Placing pooja room in the North - East will bring all the happiness, prosperity, monetary gain, health, wealth, peace of mind and happiness with the blessings of God.

Bed Room: After the day long toil and turmoil every living being earnestly require rest; for that only the nature has endowed us with day and night. For the bedroom, south - West is best for the master bedroom. Generally the eldest sleeps in the South - West room, the elderly in the South - Eastern room, the next in the North - West room and only the children should sleep in the North - Eastern room but not the couple. Now there are some points, which one should always remember:
· The bed should be located in the middle of the room or should be in the South - West corner of the room. The idea is to keep moving space around the bed and if vaastu is taken care of, South - West becomes heavy as we put the heaviest bed their.
· Bed should not touch North or east walls, but may touch South or West walls when we keep our heads towards South or west for sleep.
· A shelf of books may be kept in South - West or West Side of the room. A reading table with chair may also be kept in this corner of the room.
· If there are some T.V or electrical equipment, they should be placed in the South - East corner of the room.
Now the biggest question is why not sleep legs facing towards SOUTH? This is the most common question that the Vaastukaars face nowadays. I have seen most people had a misconception in their mind that you should not sleep facing the lags towards South as south is not a good direction and it causes ill effects. But this is the biggest myth, no direction is bad, there is a scientific reason for not sleeping with legs towards South. The thing is ONE SHOULD NOT SLEEP FACING THE HEAD TOWARDS NORTH. We all know that all of the body, the head is the heaviest and consists of all the iron and other elements. The North direction has an ill effect on the blood circulation and the organs of the body, which are away from the brain, will not get sufficient blood resulting in headache, irritation, insomnia.

Bath Room with W.C: As we have already discussed that bathroom should be either in the South - West direction or the North - West but should never be in the North - East corner of the house. Now if we come to the bathroom layout, following things must be considered: -
  • Now the bathroom will also have a North - East corner, in this corner either a shower or a floor trap should be placed. One must make it a point not to make a W.C in North - East corner of the bathroom, as there is no remedy for it.
  • Mirror should always be on the East wall.
  • W.C should always be on the North - West Side and facing East.
  • The dirty linens should be placed in the West Side of the bathroom as setting rays are very harmful for bacteria and kill them.
  • If there is almirah, it should always be on the South - West Side of the bathroom.
  • The geysers, heaters and all other electrical equipment should be installed in the South - East corner.
  • The entrance of the bathroom should preferably in North or East.


Kitchen: The best location for the kitchen is the South - East corner. When the entrance of the house is from east or South, then the kitchen may be shifted to the North - West corner of the house. In the layout of the kitchen, following rules should be followed:
  • The cooking platform should be towards eastern sidewall of the kitchen, as good results can be achieved when one faces east while cooking.
  • The sink should be in the North - East corner of the kitchen.
  • The slope of the water flow should be from South - West towards North - East.
  • The cylinder should be placed in the South - east corner.
  • The Geyser should be installed either in the South - East corner or the South wall.
  • The electronic gadgets should be placed on the Southern platform.
  • The storage for all the food grains, utensils, the over head almirah should always be on the Southern and the western walls and not on the Northern and the Eastern walls.
  • The fridge should be in placed in the North - West corner of the kitchen
  • The exhaust fan should be installed either in the North - West corner or the South wall.
