Ideal Locations of Living Room As per Vastu

A living room, also known as sitting room / Drawing room (especially in the UK), lounge room or lounge (in the United Kingdom and Australia), Hall (especially in India) is a room for entertaining guests, reading the books watching TV or other activities. The word Lounge is from the Latin, it was brought over later on by the French.

What is Family Room?

The family room means, where all the family members entertain, sit, discussing things, passing time, watching television, reading books, taking decisions, etc. Particularly this word "Family room" is very popularly & frequently used in the USA.

In the 16th century, English people called it a withdrawing room, withdrawing chamber, drawing room, formal stateroom, formal drawing room, formal family room, etc.

In USA family room is also called a Great room. In some areas, the living room is also called a Welcoming room

What is Living Room?

Living room means, only outside people sitting areas when like to meet the residents. For example, in USA, there are two rooms, one is a family room and another one is the living room. The family members, most probably live in the Family room only, very rare they sit at the living room, this living room is particularly for the guests, outsiders, other people, those who came for any work, etc.

Is Great Room Play any Important Role in Vastu?

Great room is 2nd important room in a home after the master bedroom. Most of the time almost all the family members gathered here, hence this gathering room plays a significant role in Vastu.

A great room fosters a great house. But there are some mistakes in the great room that can negatively impact your prosperity. Want to fix that?

Content: Great rooms are great for binding the family. They commonly contain an open floor design and are strategically placed next to the kitchen/dining hall so that the members can conveniently roam around. Great rooms allow people to communicate with ease if they are not in the same room. As great rooms include an open floor plan, they allow the natural sunlight to enter the house and helps in reducing the overall energy consumption.

Importance of Living Room In Vastu

Most of the time we are alone in the living room after the bedroom. Hence living room plays a vital role according to Vastu.

If the living room is not constructed according to Vastu principles, the residents of the house may suffer from many troubles because Vastu works on the basis of, "the time where we stay at a specific room".

One thing to keep in mind, that no matter how much time you spend in any room, the vastu effects of that room definitely relies on you.

Following vastu is not evil, when our properties constructed as per said principles, residents will enjoy the real fruits of peace.

Where Should We Plan the Living Room for East Facing Homes?

The best location for the Living room for East facing house is the Northeast direction or second best is East direction. Generally, Southeast is not suitable for the living room for east facing homes. Vaastu works well if the living room located at above prescribed locations.

Where Should We Construct the Living Room for North Facing Homes?

The best location for the Living room for North facing home is the Northeast direction or the next best location is North direction. Normally, the Northwest is not fit for the living room for North facing homes. Vastu works well if the living room located at above prescribed locations.

Which Direction is Suitable for the Family Room for West Facing Homes?

Northeast is the best suitable for the living room. Or otherwise, Northwest or West directions also suitable for living room for West facing homes. For some specific reasons, the Southwest direction is also a perfect fit for the family room. (This point is suitable for USA homes.)

Which Location is Best Suitable for Living Room for South Facing Homes?

If the home has a master bedroom at upstairs then the family room can be perfectly matched to arrange in the Southwest direction. Otherwise, the South direction is suitable for a family room.

Can we Keep TV at West direction in Gathering Room?

There is no TV concept in Vastu. Television came only 30/40 years back, this Vastu literature found thousands of years back. TV is a new feature. It a good idea to keep the TV in the gathering room is towards either East direction or North directions.

In modern homes and apartments the living room has replaced the old-fashioned parlor. Most of the homes in USA, the living room is very near to the foyer/main entrance door.

This became the more affirmative term "living room" in the 20th century. The term marks the twentieth-century effort of architects and builders to strip the parlor of its burial and mourning associations.

A typical western living room will be furnished with a sofa, chairs, settee, occasional tables, a television or stereo equipment, bookshelves, as well as other pieces of furniture. Traditionally a sitting room in the UK would have a fireplace.

In Japan people traditionally sat on tatami instead of chairs but western style decor is also common these days. In the United States of America, sometimes the living room is reserved for more formal and quiet entertaining while a separate recreation room or family room is used for more casual activities.

Most of the residents looking for the flowy area from the family room to the kitchen, many residents asking for free flow from kitchen to the family room or Living room, and further residents requesting about importance of vastu shastra in interior design.

Everyone knows that interior design is the most important feature in the living room. Don't forget about this interior design when following living room vastu tips.

In Australia, the living room is more often referred to as "the lounge" and is used for both formal and casual entertaining, although casual entertaining also takes place in the backyard. The term front room can also used to describe a living room, because in many homes the front door opens into the living room.

Likewise, North facing house residents also receives good results by having their living room at the front side i.e., the living room is either at North or Northeast directions.

Here the residents must take the most precautionary methods by setting the living room as the first room where is in before the entrance. Don’t construct the living room as a front room at west side houses and south side houses.

You can keep a number of doors to the living room, but all the doors should be at the correct places as per the Vastu. You are aware that “doors” plays a very important role at the house as per Vastu. Once again remember, the living room got 2nd rank in the home Vastu after Bedroom, in general, or in some instances, the living room got 1st place as per our living style.

Decorate as much as you can, but importance may be given to Vastu, then only you enjoy the life with your family members, otherwise, you are striving for your livelihood that will be the entertainment to your neighbors and your enemies.

Vastu Living RoomBe careful while sitting at the living room for discussions on different category business deals. Owner of the room should sit facing towards an East direction or North direction, and guests, Panchayatdhars, litigants, partners should sit and their face should be towards south or west, this type of sitting will leads to victory on your discussions, finally, you will get success on Panchayats (Litigation).

Before doing any alterations to the house or buying the properties it is better to consult one expert Vastu Consultant. In this image the two chairs are towards Southwest-west direction and the sofa is towards Southwest-south area.

Owner has to occupy the Southwest-west chair or Southwest-south sofa and placement is towards West direction. In this image, there are no any chairs or sofa sets towards the West facing i.e., East direction and the South facing i.e., the North direction.

Arranging ottomans to main furniture or even bed also very comfortable. Now most of the furniture comes with Ottomans.

Heavy sofa sets i.e., heavy-gauge or heavyweight sofa sets are to be placed towards Southwest, West or South direction rooms. Please note that this system may not suitable for North or East facing houses, which the living rooms are towards Northeast corners.

We should not forget about one thing, cleaning is the most important in the home, then automatically we may observe the positive force occupied our home premises.

Should not be placed for the dust Pulverulent which may attract the negative forces, in some homes we may observe crumbly or powdery dust, which causes health disorders.

Always keep an eye on dust formation in the home. Some residents are serious in doing vastu corrections and forgetting this dust clearing from the home, for them this article is helpful.

If inhabitants are really required urgent vastu results, then they may first concentrate on home cleaning and proper maintenance, they can easily find out the changes. Using aroma diffuser at home is also recommended.

Once we go dia from this aroma diffuser we feel relaxed, once we relaxed then chances are more to get a solution to our problems. Some people are unnecessarily waving the furniture in the name of Vastu, one should not do such practices, before doing any changes in the home please take consultancy from a Vastu Expert, he can guide you properly, otherwise, it looks weird/awful/eerie.

Some homes have two living rooms, one is active and another one may be dormant. Let, check-in which living room the members of the family most of the time using it, then more concentration should be required on that living room.

Keeping some attractive items at the living room is recommended, don't place the cheap items, some may interested to keep materials like palladium or silver or wood. Better to choose only the costly items. Don't bring the low-cost competitive price items.

The low priced items have a bad and negative vibe. Can buy vivid items but they should be pricey. If a resident's compulsory needs then they may keep adorable images like God Photos etc there. Always make this room bright, if the room is dark or wall colors are peeled off then change repaint them or change the wallpapers.

Some homes have staircases to go to penthouses or terraces and duplexes (Read All about duplex houses in this article) then observe this living room should not be in the Northeast corner. Now most of the family members are interested to sit in the Living room.

If their time of sitting in this room is heavy then count, how many hours they are living in this room, sometimes residents never get good results only because they hide the facts before vastu consultant for example, where they are sitting, where they are gathering / hangout, where they are sleeping, where they are working in the home, etc.

This is the only reason most of the residents fed up with this vastu science. First, select only the vastu expert and don't hide anything before him.

Based on the time to sit in the recreation room, it has to be decided in the home. If a resident is daily using the recreation room then it should not be at Northwest or Southeast directions.

Can We Plan the Media Room at Southeast Direction?

Family room vastuObserve the living room placements in this image, it is better to ask your nearest vastu expert consultant and then only construct the living rooms at Northwest or Southeast direction locations. First, observe which direction house is yours and where is the main entrance and where is the living room located. If there is a living room at Northwest area, then the Northeast-east door is more beneficial. If there is a living room towards the Southeast area, then the door is towards Northeast-north is more beneficial.

Now the living room is towards the Northeast part of the property.

Is Northeast Direction is Suitable for Living Room?

Vastu for Living RoomLiving room is best suitable at Northeast area, Northeast includes with North and East. Or plan living room at North direction or East direction.

The floor level slope of the living room should be towards the Northeast. The internal furniture and showcases and maybe some heavy weight furniture or articles should be placed towards Southwest parts or South or West directions.

Dark color to South direction wall and light color to West direction wall, in this small photo everything may not visible, but the practical vision is really nice looking.

Idea Location for Television in the Family Room as Per Vastu

Vastu for Drawing roomObserve the TV positions in the living room, many residents placed the Television towards South or West walls. Some arranged the superb showcases and in that there is an availability of TV placement, looks very nice, but for vastu purpose this is not good system. TV may be best suitable towards North or East directions. Please note that TV is good for retired or old aged people, it is not advised for the children or young age people, it is a waste box.

The exact placement of TV may be in the storeroom, not in the living room. With or without our knowledge it steals our valuable time. Beware of this time thief. Recliners are good to place in living rooms.

Arranging TV towards North, East or Northeast is highly recommended. Generally, we sit at sofa sets and watching the Television, this is natural in almost all homes, so we will take rest by sitting towards South, West or Southwest to watch TV shows if the Television is towards East, North or Northeast.

What Are the Ideal Locations for Keeping the Music System in the Family Room?

  • Guitar can be placed at anywhere in the family room.
  • Violin can be kept anywhere at the Family room.
  • No condition is applicable to keep the flute at family room. The resident can keep flute at any available and safe place.
  • Electronic Keyboard can be arranged at anywhere in the family room.

Placements Of Exercise Items

Also, I sensed when I talk to you and when I was dealing with you, you follow honesty and integrity and you have a sincere desire to help others - Kotesware Rao - Dallas - USA

We are tech professionals and working in USA. After a year long search we brought the house. After buying the house I started looking for consultant who can help me evaluating the house. I came across Subhavaastu website which has lot of information. I contacted Mr.Suresh and requested him to help with our house vastu. It has been an incredible delight working with him.. He is very detailed oriented person and never compromises with his work. I am typically not interested to deliver the reviews. But after working with Mr. Suresh I decided to share my experience. Mr. Suresh has great expertise in providing vastu consultation to USA property. He is always available through email and phone l to answer questions. I am writing this review hoping it will help other people like me who lives in abroad. Please take advise before buying the house. I highly recommend Mr. Suresh as he has great experience with structure of USA properties and also he provides genuine consultation. I really appreciate Mr. Suresh's help in evaluating our house - Padma - Boston - USA

"I contacted Sureshji to consult on our current home. He was spot on in identifying vastu dosha in regards to the problems we were having. He suggested remedies but we are still looking for a new house. Since then I have been in touch with him for finding a right home for us. He is very sincere and truly wishes better lives for everyone. He doesn’t compromise with quality and is always responsive to queries. He recommends solutions as per location as Vastu rules differ for each country. He is greatly contributing to the society with his knowledge of Vastu and dedication towards his work. Keep up the good work Sureshji and wish you success and happiness!" - Megha - Virginia - USA

I have consulted Suresh Garu during December 2014 during the process of buying a house in Texas, USA. I have occupied the house for one year now, and feel like dropping a review regarding my experience during the entire process. I am very much satisfied with the kind of service I received from him. He is very knowledgeable and I was often stunned by his detailed analysis during the course of my interaction with him. He was very much accessible over phone (perhaps more than 10 times for one house plan!) and the price is very much reasonable especially compared with the cost of the house. I noticed his burning desire to help me in making informed decisions on certain things. I have seen some people pretending to know this subject and misguiding those who come for help by saying only what we want to hear. SubhaVaastu is definitely not that one. Finally, I am strong believer of leaving certain things to experts in those subjects. I have been in US for more than 13 years and have seen people doing their own corrections (by reading website articles) trying to save few dollars. Please don’t do that. You would end up in causing more damage. I highly recommend you to engage SubhaVaastu in your next project - Satish - Dallas - TX - USA

Vastu Tip of the Day

The main entrance is considered the "mouth of a body" where energy enters your home. According to Vastu, having a bright and welcoming entrance attracts good fortune, health, and prosperity. You can enhance this area by placing a beautiful nameplate, using bright lights, and incorporating green plants near the entrance. This not only makes the entrance more appealing but also supports the flow of positive energy into your home.The front door should be free from dust. If you notice any dust on it, please clean it right away. This entrance is like a welcoming door for Goddess Lakshmi. For More Daily Vastu Tips : Daily Vastu Tips
