Vastu Tips for Placing Furniture in Your Home
Published by Sekar Lifestyle | Based in Chennai, Serving South India
Welcome to Sekar Lifestyle, your trusted furniture brand in Chennai and across South India. Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture, plays a vital role in shaping harmony at home. While the principles are timeless, modern furniture can be aligned with Vastu to create spaces that feel balanced, positive, and purposeful. Here are practical Vastu-based tips for placing furniture in your home—especially adapted for South Indian households.
1. Living Room: Place Heavy Furniture in the South or West
Vastu recommends placing heavy furniture like sofas or storage units in the southwest or west corner of the living room. Our Horizon Corner Sofa is a great choice for such placements, providing grounded energy and a welcoming vibe for guests.
2. Bedroom: Sleep with Your Head Toward the South
When placing your bed, ensure the headboard is against a south-facing wall. This promotes restful sleep and emotional stability. The Zigzag Series Bed fits beautifully into traditional South Indian bedrooms while aligning with Vastu directions.
3. Avoid Placing Furniture in the Center of the Room
According to Vastu, the center (Brahmasthan) of the room should be left open and clutter-free to allow energy flow. Choose compact, wall-aligned pieces like the Vero Diwan which offers functional seating without blocking the room’s core energy.
4. Dining Area: East or West is Ideal
Place your dining table in the east or west side of your home. Circular or rectangular tables made of solid wood are considered auspicious. Opt for simple, sturdy designs in natural finishes that reflect South Indian aesthetics.
5. Study Desks: Always Face East or North
Children or professionals working from home should face east or north when seated at their study table. Our Sand Brown Office Desk is a Vastu-aligned design that fits easily into compact spaces and promotes focus.
6. Pooja Units: Northeast is Sacred
The pooja room or mandir should be in the northeast corner of your home. Use a wooden pooja stand like the Standard Brown Wooden Pooja Stand to anchor divine energy in the ideal zone.
7. Declutter and Let Energy Flow
Vastu emphasizes free-flowing energy, so avoid cramming furniture into every nook. Use multifunctional pieces like our Noir Nest Trundle to maximize utility without overwhelming the layout.
