Ask yourself these 3 questions when choosing a new home:
- Do you want to set your home up for a life of success, prosperity, happiness and wellbeing?
- Do you want a home with ample sunlight and great ventilation, a home that is in balance with nature?

You’re going to ask - why should I bother? What difference does it make?
Vastu outlines different ways of arranging a home to amplify natural elements and positivity. These simple principles are easy to accommodate.
If you’re still on the fence, we’ll leave you with this thought - You’re already investing so much to make the home, is it worth the risk to take a chance with the basics?

Vastu Shastra Basics
Direction of Main door
The main door of the house welcomes incoming energy, and it needs to be situated in a way that it maximises positive influence on the family. Here are a few options for the best direction for main door in flats.
East-facing Main door:
This is the direction most preferred for the entrance of a home as the East is associated with the rising sun, fresh new beginnings, vitality and clarity.
West-facing Main door:
An entranceway facing West is associated with slow, continuous growth, endurance, determination, and stability.
North-facing Main door:
Homes with entrances facing the North are believed to invite prosperity, success, growth, vitality and mental clarity. It is often recommended to individuals with businesses, or working in the financial sector.
Sleeping Direction
According to Vastu, the direction in which the person is sleeping impacts their slumber, mental peace, rejuvenation and overall wellbeing.

This direction of sleeping is associated with material success and ambition.
Toilets NEVER in the North East
The North East corner of the home is associated with positivity, clarity, and divine energy. Thus, it is the preferred direction for study rooms, meditation spaces or puja rooms. By placing a washroom in this direction, all the positive energy of a home is being flushed out and drained away.

According to Vastu, a toilet in the North East leads to financial losses, lack of mental peace, health problems, and hindrances in overall growth.
Instead, toilets should be placed in the South East, South West, or West corners of the home.
Brahmasthan
The Brahmasthan is the sacred heart of the home, its very center. This section of the home is associated with Brahma, the creator, and should be kept clear of any obstruction that will hamper the flow of positive energy through the home. The area should also have ample light and ventilation, and should be as open as possible.

Avoid the following in the Brahmasthan:
- Thick pillars, heavy beams, imposing walls, staircases or heavy/weighted elements
- Toilets, kitchens, washing areas
A clear Brahmasthan balances the home’s energy, creating a more supportive, harmonious living space. The ideal utilisation of the space would be to create an open lobby, a living room or a central courtyard.
