Being a centre of attraction of your home, living room marks all the social activities at your home. As a result, it should not only be warm and inviting to guests, but also cosy so that the family can bond and spend some private time together. Use these Vastu principles to design a well-designed living room that allows the right type of energy to flow into your home.

Entrance

The main door usually leads into the living room and serves as a gateway for either negative or positive energy.

·        The best entrance door positions are north, east, and northeast.

·        Keep the entrance well illuminated with a nameplate that is more attractive and a floral toran.

·        Avoid putting a shoe rack near the door.

The Living Room's Direction

·        Vastu dictates that the living room should face north, east, northeast, or northwest.

·        If the dining area is connected to the living room, it should be located to the east or southeast of the living room and close to the kitchen. 

·        The puja room should be located northeast of the living room in an open-plan design home.

Layout of the Furniture

Avoid rounded or odd-shaped furniture in favour of square or rectangular pieces. In comparison to synthetic materials, wooden furniture emits more energy vibrations.

·        All heavy pieces of furniture, such as sofas, should be placed in the living room's west or southwest corner.

·        Place the sofa against the north or east wall, and place the TV unit in the southeast corner of the living room.
