Your home is more than just a place to live—it’s a sanctuary where you can retreat, rejuvenate, and reconnect. But, what if that sense of sanctuary is a little illusive, or you find it difficult to relax and reconnect? There is an ancient science of placement for success and wellbeing from India known as Vastu Shastra that offers timeless wisdom to help align you and your living space with the unseen forces of nature that guide our world, thereby enhancing the flow of positive energy in all areas of your life.
In this blog post, we’ll explore over 25 practical Vastu strategies to boost the energetic vibe in five key zones of your home: the entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Implementing some of these suggestions will help you experience the profound influence of Vastu for a more productive, healthier, and happier life.
Here’s your definitive Vastu guide with easy-to-do tips that will completely transform your life and ensure lasting success.
1. The Entrance: Gateway to Positive Energy

The entrance sets the tone for the entire home. It’s crucial to keep this area clean, well-lit, and inviting.
- Clutter-Free Zone: Keep the entrance area clean and the entry unobstructed inside and out to allow energy to flow freely.
- Auspicious Symbols: Place symbols like OM or an image of Drishti Ganesh (a form of the elephant god, Ganesh) near the front door to attract good fortune and support peace and harmony.
- Illumination: Ensure the entrance is well-lit, especially in the evenings to welcome prosperity.
- Floral Decor: Use fresh or silk flowers for decoration; avoid dried flowers as they represent stagnant energy.
- Keep the Energy Moving: If there is a wall directly in front of you when you enter your home, place a mirror or an uplifting picture there to keep the energy from getting stuck.
2. The Living or Family Room: Heart of Social Interactions

The living or family room is where social interactions and relaxation happen, making the flow of energy here vital for harmony and happiness.
- Furniture Arrangement: Opt for a square or circular seating arrangement to promote open communication.
- Greenery: Bringing nature into your home is calming, plus they give off oxygen and absorb electromagnetic stress.
- Natural Light: Use mirrors on the north or east walls to reflect light. If possible, open windows to bring in fresh air daily.
- Central Space: Keep the center of the room open to allow energy to circulate.
- Artwork: Display calming landscapes or nature paintings to enhance tranquility. Avoid pictures or paintings that contain violent scenes.
3. The Kitchen: The Fire Zone

In Vastu, the kitchen is considered the heart of the home and is the source of health and abundant living.
- Maintenance: Regularly clean the kitchen,because a clean kitchen symbolizes your good health and wellbeing.
- Grain Storage: Storing grains in the southwest area of your kitchen attracts financial stability.
- Separate Elements: Ensure the sink (water) and stove (fire) are not placed directly opposite each other.
- Color Palette: Choose warm shades like yellow or orange; avoid black which can attract negativity.
- Directional Cooking: Face east while cooking and/or prepping your food to enhance health and wellbeing.
4. The Bedroom: Your Personal Retreat

A peaceful bedroom supports relaxation, deep sleep, and rejuvenation.
- Bed Placement: Position your bed in the south area of your room for stability and peaceful sleep.
- Mirror Placement: Avoid mirrors facing the bed as they can disrupt sleep by reflecting energy.
- Soothing Colors: Use pastel shades for walls and bedding to create a calm environment. Add touches of light rose (as in throw pillows, bedding or curtains) to stimulate romance.
- Minimal Electronics: Reduce electronic gadgets to minimize radiation and disturbances. Make sure all devices are turned off before sleep.
- Wooden Furniture: Opt for wooden furniture to add stability and grounding energy.
5. The Bathroom: Cleansing and Purification Space

The bathroom should promote cleanliness, good health and wellbeing.
- Door Habit: Keep the bathroom door closed when not in use to contain energy and close the toilet seat to reduce expenses.
- Aromas: Use refreshing scents like eucalyptus or lavender to purify the air.
- Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent dampness and negative energy accumulation.
- Light Colors: Opt for pale tones in your bathroom décor to promote calm and relaxation.
- Leak Fixes: Regularly check and repair any leaks to reduce expenses.
Bonus Tips for Enhanced Wealth and Health:
1. Proper Lot Shape
The shape of the plot on which a house is built plays a crucial role in Vastu Shastra. Ideal shapes are square or rectangular, facilitating the smooth flow of energy throughout the property. These shapes are considered to promote stability, balance, and harmony. Irregular shapes like L-shaped or T-shaped plots can create Vastu defects, leading to health and financial issues for the residents. If you have a plot with an irregular shape, there isn’t a tip to eliminate the imbalances it creates without a Vastu consultation.
2. Window Placement
Windows are significant in Vastu as they are the gateways through which sunlight and energy enter your home. In Vastu Shastra, it’s advised to have North and East facing windows as the light from these directions promote good health and prosperity. Minimize the number of windows on the south and west sides of the home as windows in these directions can increase expenses and financial loss. If your expenses are greater than your income, it is advisable to get a Vastu consultation to remedy this issue.
3. Toilet Location
The placement of toilets is a critical aspect in Vastu, as incorrect positioning can severely disrupt the positive energy within the home. Toilets should ideally be located in the northwest, west, or south zones of the home. Avoid placing toilets in the northeast, southeast or southwest areas as these corners are considered sacred and powerful. Northeast is associated with spiritual and financial growth, while southwest is related to stability, career and strength. The southeast is connected to your health. If you have toilets in these zones we suggest getting a Vastu consultation to remedy this situation.
4. Land Slope
If you have a house with prosperity, your land should slope down to the northeast for financial growth and success to the inhabitants. Conversely, a south or west slope can lead to loss of money and health issues. If you’re considering buying a new property, look for one with a gentle northeast slope. If your existing property slopes in an unfavorable direction, consider Vastu remedies from a Vastu consultant to correct any negative impact.
Implementing these Vastu strategies can significantly enhance the energy dynamics of your home, promoting well-being, harmony, and happiness. Start with small, manageable changes and gradually align each zone of your home with Vastu principles to unlock profound positive impact.
