When designing your home place the different rooms and places as follows:

Prayer Room - North East
Open Space - North East
Guest Room - North West
Kitchen - South East
Master Bedroom - South West
Bedroom for Children or married son - South
Living Room, drawing room and Dining Hall - West
Baths and Toilets - West

Ideal Layout of a House as per Vastu


As per vastu it is fruitful to have greenery (garden) in the open space in North East.


There is a very simple remedy available if the South West is not the highest point in your building. Vertically place a long enough cement pipe in the South West corner of your building. You can also fix an earthern pot on top of the pipe to make it aesthetically pleasing and color the pot and pipe with earthern colors like brown, or brownish yellow. This is will make South West the highest point of the building. Another way is to put the overhead water tank at this corner, tall enough to make it the highest point of the building.

4. Vastu for Bed position:-
Vastu Shastra advices people to sleep with head in any direction except north. Our body is considered a magnet with North Pole acting at our head and the South Pole at legs. The earth is a big magnetic power having north and south poles. Hence keeping the head in the north direction, makes North Pole of our body repel with the north pole of the earth’s magnetic power. This repulsion causes a bad magnetic stir in our brain and our subconscious mind struggles for peace. Also our earth travels in a constant speed towards north-east direction and we too are in the same motion, which we don’t feel at all. Hence if we sleep along with the direction of motion i.e. north-east direction by keeping our head in south or east side will make our sleep peaceful and deep.
