In Vastu, each direction is associated with a specific element and energy, which plays a vital role in determining the function and ambiance of a room. Here’s a guide to understanding which direction is best suited for various rooms:
Living Room: Ideally located in the north or northeast corner. Furniture should be arranged in a way that allows for smooth movement, ensuring no obstructions in the room. Seating should be arranged so that people face east or north.
Bedroom: The master bedroom should be placed in the southwest corner of the house, while guest bedrooms can be placed in the northwest or west. Beds should be placed so that your head is in the south or east direction when sleeping. Avoid sleeping with your feet pointing toward the door (as this is considered inauspicious).
Kitchen: The kitchen should ideally be in the southeast corner of the house (associated with the fire element). The cook should face east while cooking, and the stove should be placed in the southeast direction of the kitchen.
Study Room: The study room should be located in the northeast, east, or north direction, where you can face east or north while studying or working. This positioning enhances concentration and clarity.
