Vastu friendly Home Flat Entrance

The main entrance of your flat should be from North or North East. It shouldn’t be South or West as the afternoon sun rays can pose danger to your health.

Lighting and ventilation for your flat
Make sure the new flat has enough natural lighting and ventilation with windows and balcony facing the north or east.

Kitchen for your flat
Ideally, South-east corner is the best place for kitchen in your home. Avoid having a kitchen in the North-East direction.

Master Bedroom of your flat
According to Vastu Shastra, the right direction for master bedroom is the South west corner. In case of multiple floors, the master bedroom has to be on the top floor.

Drawing room for your flat
The ideal direction of the drawing room is North-West or East direction and the furnishings can be kept in the south and west directions.

Toilets and Bathrooms in the flat
Toilets and bathrooms should be in the South-West corner or in South direction. Since the wind direction in India is North-East to South-West, so having the toilet built in North East will make the air contaminated before it enters your home.
Kid’s room in the flat
Since there is no sun in the North direction so having your kid’s room in North- East or North West with a window on the north wall will make his room more airy and full of natural light.
