Pro Tip

Think About It:

  • • Some rooms feel instantly peaceful and energizing
  • • Others feel heavy, draining, or chaotic
  • • Some bedrooms give deep sleep
  • • Others leave you restless

This isn't psychology. It's Vastu science.

What is Vastu for Rooms?

Vastu Shastra (Science of Architecture) is an ancient Indian system of spatial design that harmonizes your living space with natural energy flows.

Vastu Shastra principles for room design
Vastu works with the 5 elements and 8 directions for optimal room energy

Core Principles

Vastu works with:

🌍 The 5 Elements

Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space

🧭 The 8 Directions

North, South, East, West + diagonals

✨ Energy Flow

Natural life force (prana) movement

⚖️ Balance

Masculine & Feminine energy

When these align, space thrives. When misaligned, space struggles.

How It Works

Your room has:

  • Energy entry points (windows, doors)
  • Energy flow patterns (natural pathways)
  • Energy dead zones (where flow stagnates)
  • Energy amplification zones (where it concentrates)

Vastu positioning uses these for optimal results.

Hinglish Reality

"Room ka Vastu matlab aapke furniture aur décor ki placement se room ka energy affect hota hai. Agar sahi tarike se arrange karte ho toh room mein peace aati hai, sleep acha hota hai, productivity badhti hai."

(Translation: Room Vastu is how your furniture and décor placement affects room energy. If arranged correctly, peace comes, sleep improves, productivity increases.)

?Frequently Asked Questions

Work with what you have: Adjust furniture positioning, use colors to compensate, mirrors to redirect energy, plants for balance. Direction is ideal, but positioning is critical.
Not facing bed (reflects energy back). But mirrors are OK on side walls (expands space), reflecting natural light, not directly facing head.
VERY important. Clutter blocks energy flow, creates stagnation, drains vitality, prevents new energy. Clean = clear energy flow.
Absolutely. Use movable furniture positioning, colors via fabrics/art, plants for energy, mirrors/lights/décor. Major renovations may not be possible, but positioning is free.
