Are you sure that you are not surrounding yourself with unlucky home decor items unknowingly? Every space is a vortex of both positive and negative energies. Our feelings, thoughts, emotions, and even certain objects attract a certain type of energy.
With the help of Vastu, we can harness positive energy at home by keeping everything Vastu compliant. So the question is, “What exactly does it do to increase positivity?”
The answer lies here: Vastu Shastra is the ancient Indian science of arranging the five elements of nature (i.e., earth, water, fire, air, and sky) within a particular space in such a way that all of the energies are balanced.
Some things are said to increase the negative energy in the house and are responsible for sabotaging the peace, happiness, luck and harmony of the inhabitants.
So, while we focus on making our homes comfortable and appealing, we must make sure it also invites peace and happiness. Here are the 5 unlucky home decor items to avoid inside your home:

According to Vastu, paintings depicting war scenes must be removed from home immediately. They are one of the top unlucky home decor items. Although war scenes from Indian Mythology such as Ramayana and Mahabharata are sometimes mistaken as the reminder of the old adage, “Victory of good over evil”, they can increase enmity and jealousy among family members.

Vastu strictly prohibits keeping cactus inside homes. Vastu treats thorns like poison arrows and are said to emit negativity in all directions. Thus all thorny plants, except roses must be avoided as a decor item.
Idols, sculptures, figurines and images that sends out a negative message are super unlucky home decor items

Vastu says to refrain from keeping pictures or any other representative of the Taj Mahal at home. It might be one of the most majestic and beautiful monuments of all times. But, it is also the tomb of Mumtaj Mahal. Tombs/ graves symbolizes death and passivity. It is not hard to see why it is considered to be unlucky by Vastu.

Vastu believes in avoiding pictures, paintings, and statues of wild animals and birds such as pigs, snakes, asses, eagles, owls, bats, vultures, pigeons, crows, etc. They might increase the chaotic energy at home and disrupt peace
