5 Vaastu Tips for a Harmonious Home

Vaastu principles come up in almost every residential brief we take on in Gujarat, usually at the very first planning stage — before the foundation is even laid. Here are five of the most common recommendations our Vaastu consultancy gives clients.

• Main Entrance Direction — The main door is considered the entry point for energy into the home, so its direction and placement are usually the first thing we review during planning.
• Kitchen in the Fire Corner — The kitchen is traditionally placed in the south-east — the fire corner — with the cook facing east while working at the stove.
• Pooja Room Placement — A north-east pooja room, kept separate from the bedroom and bathroom, is one of the most requested layout decisions in our interior briefs.
• Bedroom in the Right Zone — The master bedroom is generally placed in the south-west of the home, considered the most stable zone for rest.
• Keep the Centre Open — The Brahmasthan, or centre of the home, is ideally kept open and uncluttered rather than boxed in by a staircase or heavy storage.

Vaastu works best when it's factored into the civil layout from day one — orientation and room placement are far easier to plan on paper than to correct once walls are built. That's why our Vaastu consultancy sits alongside planning and site supervision rather than being an afterthought.
