Vastu Shastra
Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science of Vedic origin that deals with proper construction of a
house. An age old technique, Vastu defines building of homes in sync with the natural forces. A Vastu
perfect home not only attains complete harmony with natural forces, but also brings in prosperity,
good thought and sound health to its residents. There are certain basic principles that are considered
Vastu-logically correct for the making and designing of the house. Following these principles, while
constructing a house or even choosing one may be highly beneficial and advantageous to users.
Furniture arrangement
Sofa sets can be kept against the south and west walls, but avoid touching them with your walls as it
may peel off your finishes. The furniture should be placed in such a way that it allows free movement
from the living room into other rooms, but avoid cluttering. It is a good idea to have a floor level or a
table mounted podium lamp, with red or orange light, in the area between the items that relate to
southeast (energy).
Vastu for bedroom
It is even more important for your bedroom, where you retire to escape from the worries of the world
and have a tension-free sleep. In context of bedroom, Vastu takes into consideration different
determinants to ensure harmony in the house. The main things that become important, while
constructing and designing bedrooms, are location, placement of bed, color scheme, direction and
placement of doors, windows, and furniture, set up of electronic gadgets, etc. Let us explore the basic
Vastu guidelines that have to be followed, in case of the bedroom.
Staircases
Just like any other corner of the house, Vastu Shastra has laid down rules and given
recommendations on how to construct the staircase as well. Certain basic rules are to be followed
while building the stairs in your house. Being a heavy structure, a staircase should never be built in
constraints zones, as it can lead to a lot of losses. To avoid such troublesome situations, it is rightly
advised to follow the correct orientation when one plans to build the staircase. Here are some
valuable Vastu tips to plan and accordingly construct your stairs.
The term Vastu, meaning a dwelling place, was initially used to refer to the homes of human beings.
However, with time, it came to be associated with the right location as well as the design of almost
any and every structure. Be it a plot, commercial complex, industry, shop/showroom, residential
house or spiritual place like temple. Vastu tips are followed while building each and every edifice.
Coming down to home, it takes an important place in all the activities of your day to day life. The
structure of a house forms one of the important considerations in Vastu Shastra. If the house
construction is weak, Vastu is also weak, and if house construction is strong, Vastu also works strong.
