Drawing/Living Room Vastu

Vastu For Living Room

While designing your home, knowing and following the living room rules Vastu is essential to get the best results. As we have mentioned earlier, the living room is the first place that anyone enters when they come to your house. This is true not only for the people but also for all kinds of energies. Thus, when you plan your living room as per Vastu, it becomes a receptacle for all sorts of positive vibes, disallowing the stay of any negative ones.

Regardless of how new or old, modern or ancient your house maybe, or what kind of architecture and design that it has, the living room is equally essential for all homes. And as we have mentioned before several times already, when you follow the regulations set by the living room Vastu, it ensures that only positive energies inhabit the house, thereby attracting health, wealth, prosperity, and good luck all around. This is the place where the entire family spends time together. Therefore, following the living room Vastu rules is also essential to maintain this unity and synergy.

In addition to this, we often throw small parties and get-togethers and entertain all our guests here. Hence, this is a place associated with socialising and your celebrations. Thus, a living room as per Vastu will ensure that you enjoy all your special moments with your friends and family and create lasting relationships. Hence, not only should your drawing room be beautiful and well-decorated to impress your guests, but also comfortable, so that you and your family can spend hours together there, cosily. In addition to this, the ambience of the place should encourage long and pleasant conversations. It should also make the occupants feel relaxed.

Significance Of Vastu For Living Room

A deep meaning is hidden behind every rule of design in Vastu Shastra. As we are repeatedly saying, when you build a living room as per Vastu, it ensures that only positive energies reside in your home. But the meaning between the lines is that it also gets rid of any negative energies that may enter your home. This can be explained through an example.

Let us say that a few guests visit you. They will go to sit in your living room straight from your main door. Therefore, this is where the vibes that they bring with them will also reside. Now, it is not necessary that all of them come to your place with positive thoughts. Thus, if even one person arrives with some negative vibes, then your living room should be equipped with banishing these energies. In case you did not follow the rules of living room Vastu then this will not be possible.

As a result, every time some negativities enter your home, they will settle there, never leaving the place. Soon your living room will become a hub of such adverse vibes. A living room as per Vastu will ensure that this does not happen.

Living Room Direction As Per Vastu

Before we can delve into the depths of the design of the living room as per Vastu, the foremost question that arises is about the living room direction as per Vastu. I am giving a list of some of the best-suited locations according to drawing room Vastu:

The North Direction

The North direction is presided over by Lord Kuber, the God of Wealth, and the planet Mercury. Therefore, this location is associated with wealth, prosperity, career, and thinking abilities of a native. Building a living room as per Vastu in this direction is extremely auspicious. It ensures that when the residents of such a house sit and contemplate in this room, they always get novel and innovative ideas. In addition to this, it also brings abundance for the occupants. It also lends a helping hand in the growth of their business or professional life.

The East Direction

East we know is the Sunrise's direction and is, therefore, presided over by this planet. Lord Indra, the King of the Devtas and the God of rains and abundance, also rules over this location. Thus, apart from bringing wealth and prosperity to such a home occupants, it also strengthens the social bonds formed here. A living room built in this direction helps build a strong understanding between the people that occupy this room.

Nairitya Kon or The Southwest Direction

The Nairitya Kon or the Southwest direction is one of the most substantial loans as per Vastu Shastra. It is presided over by a demon known as Nriti, and the planet ruling over this location is Rahu. Building a living room as per Vastu in this direction can bestow health, wealth, and confidence to the residents of such a household. On the flip side, this vital location can also bring significant troubles for the natives if proper regulations of the drawing room Vastu are not followed. Unlike what most people believe, Rahu is not an inherently hostile planet entirely. Instead, its presence here ensures strong family bonds and relationships. Therefore, any discussions that may take place in such a living room as per Vastu will involve family matters and will also be one of the best places to discuss the possibilities of creating a strong base for alliances as well as financial issues.

The West Direction

West is the direction of sunset and is ruled over by Lord Varun, the God of rain, as well as the planet Saturn. This location is majorly associated with stability in life as well as fame and luck. As a result, any discussion that takes place in a living room as per Vastu built in this direction will prove to be not only calm and fruitful but will also be responsible for raining significant profit and gains on the residents of such a house.

Vayavya Kon or The Northwest Direction

The Vayavya Kon or the Northwest direction is presided over by Lord Vayu or the God of wind, as well as the luminary planet Moon. Hence, this is a very calm and serene location for constructing a living room as per Vastu. The correct usage of this zone of the house according to Vastu Shastra not only brings excellent opportunities for the residents of such a home but also helps boost their careers. According to the living room Vastu, a meeting taking place here, especially if it involves negotiations, will be especially beneficial for the occupants. It will be hard for your guests to say no to anything that you ask of them. Moreover, this direction is considered to be quite unstable, as a result of which, your guests will not stay for a very long time. This is good for people who would not like their guests to stay on permanently.

Now that we know the best location in which we should build our living room as per Vastu, let us move on to the finer details of its design.

Vastu Interior For Living Room

Interior Vastu for drawing room mainly focus on correct location and entrance of living room. Apart from this, Vastu tips for keeping furniture, putting Air conditioners, putting Linen and curtains, colour combination, displaying painting and decorative sculptures, plants etc. Since all these have their individual effects on the overall energies in your drawing room, I am explaining all these separately as below.

Furniture Vastu For Living Room

Furniture is among the significant elements of Vastu interior for living room. Let's take a look at some of the Vastu tips for choosing furniture:

1. One should prefer shapes like square and rectangle when selecting furniture for your living room. Odd figures like a pentagon or a triangle should be avoided.

2. Prefer natural material like wood when choosing a sofa unit. Modern-day modular furniture should be avoided because such machine-made stuff usually has lower energy vibrations. Conversely, raw materials generally emit high energy vibration, which is majorly positive.

3. Your Vastu interior for living room should be comfortable as well as elegant. Therefore, when you are choosing furniture, ensure that they are cosy to sit on and give that more preference over the aesthetics.

4. Including a recliner as a part of the Vastu interior for living room is an excellent option because such pieces of furniture encourage relaxation. This amps up the positive energy within the living room as per Vastu.

5. Every piece of furniture in your drawing room should be adequately maintained and well kept. Always ensure that none of them makes a screeching or squeaking sound and quickly correct it, if and when it occurs.

Living Room Vastu Colours

Living room Vastu colours are essential in harnessing the positive energies for the house. Selecting the exact right shades is very important when planning the Vastu interior for living room; otherwise, it can affect the vibes of the entire house. It is always better to choose the lighter hues when selecting living room Vastu colours because it will make your drawing room seem bigger and brighter. As a result, you will require less lighting equipment in such a living room as per Vastu. Apart from this, you should choose the colours based on where your living room is located. Given below is a list of various hues and shades that you can choose, depending on your living room direction as per Vastu:

Colours to Choose From

1. East Mint Green and Brown

2. South Red, Pink, and Orange

3. Southwest or Nairitya Kon Yellow and Golden

4. West Silver, Blue, and Grey

5. Northwest or Vayavya Kon Silver, White, and Grey

6. North Off White and Blue

Note: When selecting Living Room Vastu Colours, always prefer the softer of the options given. Even if you go for the darker colour choice, use their lighter hues and shades for painting your living room as per Vastu. 

Curtains And Linen Vastu Tips For Drawing Room

Quite like the walls, the linen, like the curtains or the bed sheets used inside the living room, should also be colour coded as per Vastu. Once again, the colours that you choose depend on the living room direction as per Vastu shastra. The guide given above works well for the curtains as well. In addition to the choice of colours, the type of curtains used should also be decided according to specific regulations. Let me explain as to what these say:

1. If the windows of your living room are facing in the north or east direction, then this is where the sun rays enter your drawing room in the morning. Therefore, the curtains used in this direction should be light or sheer, as it will ensure the continuous entrance of positive vibes in the form of morning Sun rays.

2. Not only Vastu Shastra, but Ayurveda also places great importance on the benefits of the energies received from the early morning Sun rays.

3. On the flip side, if the windows of your living room are facing South or West, then one should use heavier drapes in this direction. This is not only to bar the intense afternoon heat and harmful Sun rays from entering your drawing room but to also retain the positive energies from the morning Sun.

Plants and Water Bodies In Drawing Room As Per Vastu

According to Vastu Shastra plants can be a great mode of attracting positive energy to your house. You can place several types of plants within your living room as per Vastu to not only bring in more naturally positive energy but also maintain a positive flow of oxygen. Many of these plants have been scientifically proven to be genuinely effective in purifying the air. Below are some of the flora that can be quite favourable for your home and drawing room according to Vastu:

1. Money plant

2. Snake plant

3. Peace lily (Cobra plant)

4. Spider plant

5. Areca palm

Now that we know which plants are the best to place in your drawing room as per Vastu, here are a few tips to remember about them:

1. When placing these vegetations within your living room as per Vastu, always prefer the Eastern or Northern zones of the chamber.

2. Make sure that you regularly water and take care of these plants. They should always be well-maintained to be able to attract positive energies appropriately.

3. According to Vastu, it would be best if you always preferred fauna with broad green leaves to place in your living room.

4. The flora in your home epitomizes development, abundance, and success. Thus, when you take care of them and keep them well maintained, they encourage your comprehensive well-being and affluence in entirely unexpected manners.

5. Those who wish to include a small fountain as a part of their Vastu interior for living room, they should choose the Northern zone or the Ishan Kon, i.e., Northeast corner of the chamber for placing it.

6. The East direction is the best place to lace a fish aquarium if one wishes to do so. It attracts and boosts the positive energies entering your living room as per Vastu when appropriately placed.

AC's And Lighting Vastu For Living Room

Lightning is another essential element of living room Vastu. When your drawing room is well-lit, it attracts more positive energies, whereas a darkened room would repel it. Moreover, a brighter place not only seems bigger but also comfortable and cosier.

1. Therefore, when planning the Vastu interior for living room, prefer placing the lights in various corners of the chamber. This will ensure that your drawing room will remain illuminated throughout the day and night.

2. Using bulbs that give a soothing glow will be the best alternative for the lightning in your living room. This creates a calming and cosy vibe, bringing peace and tranquillity to the occupants.

Similarly, the temperature of your room should also be restful, not harsh. Therefore, the placement of the air conditioner unit should also be taken into account. Here are a few rules you can follow for the same when designing Vastu interior for living room:

1. The best directions to place your AC would be the Ageya Kon or the Southeast zone and Vayavya Kon or the Southwest zone of the living room as per Vastu.

2. This is because both these directions are associated with the element of fire and air, respectively. Thus, they will handle the cold air coming from the air conditioner, making it soothing for the residents.

3. On the flip side, one must avoid the Northeast corner or the Ishan Kon for the placement of the AC.

4. This direction is associated with the element of water, which can turn the already chilly winds from the air conditioner colder. This can weaken the immunity of the occupants of such a home, and they will continuously suffer from illnesses like cough and cold.

Ideally, our advice is to make minimal use of the Air Conditioner because these pieces of equipment can be harmful to the environment – both inside your home and outside.

Pooja Space Vastu Tips For Drawing Room

In many flats and apartments, due to lack of a separate room or sufficient space, people usually place their Puja or area of worship in the living room. If you also have a similar situation, then the ideal locations for establishing your place of worship in the living room as per Vastu would be either the East, West, or the Northeast directions, i.e., Ishan Kon.

Paintings for Living Room As Per Vastu

Although most people do not own or possess valuable and high priced paintings and sculptures. However, those who do need to display them in the right direction in their living room as per Vastu. Moreover, it is not necessary to own only exorbitant artefacts to decorate their drawing room. Regardless of the price of your merchandise, you should choose and display them according to specific rules of living room Vastu. Let us take a look at what these are:

1. When selecting paintings for the living room as per Vastu, you should go for those images that evoke happy emotions within you, are soothing to your eyes, and calm your mind.

2. In the same vein, you should avoid buying landscapes that seem to portray anger, sadness, or loneliness.

3. The reasoning behind this is that the emotions that a picture or sculpture displayed in your living room as per Vastu evokes within you is what you will feel every time you enter your drawing room.

4. Therefore, the depiction of war is likely to create constant situations of fights and arguments within the household. On the other hand, a portrait representing meditation will bring you mental peace and will also encourage you to remain healthy – physically and mentally.

On the whole, we can agree that the living room or drawing room in our home is an essential segment of the entire place. For this reason, knowing and adequately following the regulations of living room Vastu Shastra is vital when constructing or redecorating your house. It is the first place where any kind of energy resides in your household and is, therefore, the deciding factor behind what type of vibes your property will have. Hence, along with the Vastu tips for living room mentioned above, here are a few more things to keep in mind:

1.  Always keep your drawing room uncluttered and tidy. Moreover, keep your windows open for as long as you can to ensure proper airflow through your living room as per Vastu.

2. Clean your drawing room daily and keep it dust-free.

3. Avoid cluttering the place by building sufficient storage space in the living room if necessary. In any case, always keep the chamber organized.

4. There should not be any unnecessary tidbits spread around your tabletops and surfaces.
