Cost-effective ways for making your home a vastu compliant house

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Vedic science that allows for a perfect energy balance in one’s home or work place leading to a healthy and peaceful life. Many think that making their home a vastu compliant home would mean a lot of redoing and construction. Reconstructing a room or a house as per vastu shastra guidelines is the best way to have a harmonious house and a cost effective way to bring in positive vibes to the house.

Just like Feng Shui, Vastu Shastra is all about positioning of various objects and furniture offering greater positive ambiance for the residents of the house or commercial establishment. Prevention is always better than cure goes the famous cliché. The same is true for getting a vastu compliant home.

Vastu Guidelines for a vastu compliant home

Rather than correcting the wrongly built portions, proper emphasis to Vastu compliance must be given while purchasing the land or plot itself. It is because a corrective work or renovation in the middle can cause you an additional cost.

Vastu Shastra has guidelines for each directional zone in synchronization with the earth’s magnetic fields and vibrations. If the plot is purchased with the directional advantage in mind, it is much easier and a cost effective way to implement other vastu fundamentals. A wrongly selected direction on the other hand would mean more work on the interiors to compensate for the negative energy forces owing to wrong directional location which results in shedding more money.

One of the best ways to ensure perfect Vastu compliance for the entrance is to keep windows not in line with the main door of the house. Any good positive energy that enters the house from the main door can go out from the windows in case they are lined up along the door.
Too many windows represent a loss of money, fame and fortune. The maximum number of walls having windows in any room should never exceed two.
The main door must be the largest door in the house and must never open into the kitchen area as per vastu guidelines.
For the kitchen southeast and northwest are the two most preferred directions. The water body like sink must be located near the northeastern quadrant while the fire element like stove and microwave must be located in the southeast or northwest quadrant. One of the most intrinsic principles of Vastu Shastra is that the toilets must never be located in lose vicinity to the kitchen area. Toilets must be aligned with the north-south axis with northwest and western directions as the most ideal locations.
As far as living room is concerned, Vastu places great emphasis on having a central open portion known as the bramhasthana. West and northern direction are two of the most preferred directions for the living room. Heavy furniture like sofas and tables must be placed in such a way that they block the negative southern and western directions of the living room. Furniture elements must never be placed in the north eastern sector of the living room.
