The Definitive Vastu-Approved Guide on Furniture Placement

By Lodha

Whether you are a first-time real estate investor and excited about decorating your space or revamping your apartment to inject new energy into your living environment, furniture placement matters. While there are various architectural and interior design styles to choose from, Vastu Shastra is not only closer to home but allows you to infuse your home with positive energy. An ancient practice, Vastu combines different elements of architecture, such as directions, layouts, colours, and object placement, to help you invite balance and harmony into your home. Furniture placement is an integral part of setting up your home, according to Vastu. Instead of scratching your head and wondering how to arrange your furniture, here are a few Vastu-certified tips to bring in prosperity, health, and abundance.

Living Room:

The living room is often the focal point of a home, the space where visitors are entertained, and impressions are created. According to Vastu, the person in charge of the household should have a seat in the southwest corner of the home, facing the east or northeast direction. Doing so helps ground the space and increase the flow of positive energy. Guests should be seated in the northwest or southeast area of the living room to maintain control of the space’s energetic aura. If you plan to place a TV unit in the living room, make sure to keep it in the northeast on a lightweight unit.

Bedroom:

Your bedroom is where you retire after a long day of hard work for a restful night’s sleep. Vastu can help you ensure the energy of your bedroom is calm and conducive to sleep. The first tip is to place your bed in the southwest corner of the room. While you can place wardrobes along the southern or western walls, appliances like ACs, TVs, coolers, etc., must be kept in the southeast corner. It is best to avoid placing a mirror opposite the bed since it can lead to poor health. Similarly, Vastu warns against having a beam, loft, or heavy structure above the bed. According to Vastu, a big bed with a single mattress is preferable, and a TV in the bedroom is a strict no-no.

Kitchen:

Your kitchen is the heart of your home and is the space where the meals that nourish you are prepared. Keeping that in mind, it is best to arrange the space according to Vastu to preserve your well-being. While setting up your kitchen, it is best to store pantry essentials in the northwest or southwest regions. You should place your dining table in the northwest area so everyone dining faces the east. If you plan to store provisions in cabinets above the countertops, keep at least five types of grains in the northwest corner to bring in abundance. Try to avoid keeping a garbage bin in the kitchen.

Study Room/Home Office:

If you plan to make use of an extra room in your home to set up a home office or a study, make sure it is in the western, northwest, or west-southwest area of the space. While opting for a study table or desk attached to the wall may seem appealing, Vastu advises against it. According to Vastu, a wall near a study table can hinder concentration and focus. Instead, having an open space in front of the desk can promote mental acuity. For increased productivity and better results, it is best to place the desk in such a way that anyone seated at it faces the east or the north.
