Vastu Tips for Flats

• A flat with an entrance in the East, North, or North-west direction is considered auspicious.
• The Vastu for the pooja room in flats must have deities enshrined in the North-east corner.
• The ideal location for the master bedroom is the South-west corner of the property. It is linked with longevity, prosperity, and good health.

• The kitchen shouldn’t be facing the same direction as your main entrance.

Vastu Direction for Flats

Check out the below-mentioned directions to get a better idea of Vastu Shastra:

West Facing Flat Vastu

There is no claim that the West-facing flats are inauspicious. However, West-facing flats are considered C-grade, while East-facing flats are considered A-grade, which is in line with Vastu.

East Facing Flat Vastu

 The east-facing flats are one of the best flats to opt for as most of the east-facing flats fall on A-grade property. The A-grade property is the most auspicious one as it completely complies with the Vastu Shasta.

North Facing Flat Vastu

The north-facing flats are considered good for residential as they are associated with Kuber, the god of wealth. Furthermore, it also generates financial fortune and promotes good health for its inhabitants.

South Facing Flat Vastu

The south-facing flats are considered inauspicious as the south direction is associated with Lord Yama, the god of death. It is recommended to construct the flat in other directions to make the property comply with the Vastu Shastra.

Pooja Room in Flats As Per Vastu

The Pooja rooms must be situated in the right direction to make your home a cordial space, bringing peace and harmony. 

The North-east corner of the flat or apartment is the most auspicious direction for Pooja room placement. Vastu Shastra refers to this as the Ishan Cone. Worshippers should, however, face north or east when worshipping.

Regarding the colour of the Pooja room, it is important to remember that light and neutral colours are deemed auspicious according to Vastu principles. The Pooja room walls must be yellow, light blue or white, while the deities’ idols must be placed in the East or West direction. 

Mandirs made of marble or wood are auspicious for placing idols of deities. Pooja rooms maintain positive vibrations and are sacred. 

Both the arrangement and the placement direction play an integral role. Below are a few key pointers one should avoid while constructing a Pooja room:

• South direction is not auspicious for the construction of the Pooja room.
• Do not place photos of dead people in the room.
• The wall must not be shared with the toilet, storeroom, or bedroom as it may lead to negativity in the house.
• One must refrain from keeping unnecessary items inside the Pooja room.
• Money and other valuables shouldn’t be hidden in the Pooja room.
• Avoid placing idols facing south.
• Garbage cans and dustbins must be kept outside the Pooja room, since they attract negative energies.

Kitchen in Flats as per Vastu

Kitchen Vastu plays an essential role in the overall Vastu for flats. So, it is vital to ensure that the kitchen is compliant with Vastu before buying a flat or apartment. 

The kitchen refers to fire, which is one of the five elements of nature (Earth, Water, Air, Space and Fire). Proper placement and construction are therefore necessary, since they represent cash flow in modern times. The ideal location for a kitchen in flats as per Vastu is the South-east direction. 

However, West, East, North-west and South are also auspicious directions for the kitchen if South-east isn’t available for you. 

The gas burner must be in the East, West, South and North-west corners of the flat. Vastu specialists recommend keeping a marble slab under the gas burner. Make sure the marble is neither blue nor black. Additionally, when cooking, face either east or south. 

Cabinets in the kitchen should be on the southern wall. The mixer grinder is an essential electronic gadget nowadays. However, keeping the electrical gadget in the Eastern direction is crucial.

Main Door and Entrance of Flat As Per Vastu

The Vastu for flat entrances gives an understanding of the placement of the door to gain the maximum positive vibrations in a flat or apartment. It is recommended to place the main door in the directions of East, North-east, and North. However, there shouldn’t be the placement of the elevators in front of the main entrance. 

Let’s take a look at the dos and don’t for the entrance of Flat as per Vastu:

To Do

• The directions for the main entrance are North-east, East, West and North.
• Keeping a nameplate placed on the wall of the main entrance promotes good health conditions and financial prosperity.

• The placement of a doormat in front of the main entrance is a must to keep the negative energies away from entering the home and its visitors or residents.
• The main door should be made of wood or at least have some woodwork to make it auspicious.
• A slight concrete elevation at the main entrance can keep negativity away from entering the house.
• Ensure proper periodic oiling to ensure the main door is not making a  creaky noise that may lead to a negative vibrational state.

To Avoid

• The main entrance door shouldn’t be situated in the North-west, South-east, South-west or South direction.
• Lights with high intensity, such as red, should not be placed near the main entrance.

• If the main entrance has stairs, it must end with an odd number as the right foot should be forward while moving up or down the stairs. 
• The main entrance door shouldn’t be making a creaky noise.
• Placing mirrors in front of the main door is not recommended.
• One should not keep the photographs of Gods on the main door as knocking, slamming and banging on the door is disrespectful.
