The Best Direction for Bedroom
Directions to choose: Vastu says that bedrooms are best built in the southwest as it is associated with prosperity and good health to the owners. Even the north is considered lucky for everyone. Children’s bedrooms can be located in the east or northwest. It is said to give them a sharp intellect.
Directions to avoid: Southeast and Northeast. Also, avoid the centre of the house i.e., the “Brahmasthan.” This is the place through which energy flows continuously. That is not something that you would desire for a place meant for resting.
The Ideal Bed
Vastu says that a square or rectangular shaped wooden bed is considered the best. Wrought iron beds are very harmful to your health as they can interfere with the magnetic field of your body and can lead to serious health issues. Also, avoid using two single mattresses to fit into one double bed.
The Ideal Bed Placement
Your bed must be placed with its head towards the east or south. It is desirable to place your bed against the wall in the south or the west so that your legs point towards the north or the east when you lie down. Avoid sleeping with your legs pointing towards the south. Vastu is also against the placement of a bed in the corner as it restricts the free flow of energy. It must be placed along the central part of the wall. Ideally, you should be able to get down from both the left and right sides of the bed.
Placement of Mirror
Having a dressing table in the bedroom is common. Vastu emphasizes the fact that mirrors can amplify energy which results in restlessness and worry. So, make sure to place it in such a way that the bed is not reflected in it. If that arrangement is not possible, simply cover the mirror when not in use.
Colour of the bedroom
When it comes to bedrooms, it is best not to have too many distracting colours and patterns on a bedroom wall. Vastu recommends using light or pastel colours as they are soothing to the senses. Newly married couples can use a subtle hint of red. But, take care not to overuse it because it represents fire and can cause temperament issues.
Bonus Vastu Tips:
The usage of false ceilings may enhance the look of a room. But according to Vastu, you must be careful not to choose the one having pointed designs hanging from it. It causes bad sleep. Avoid skylight ceilings too.
If you have an attached bathroom, keep the door closed when not in use.
It is also advised for couples to not have pictures, paintings or artefacts of lonely animals or birds. Have things in pairs. Also, if you like paintings, keep the ones that represent love and togetherness.
