1. Entry Direction
Prefer flats with a main door facing East or North
Avoid South-West entries as they are considered less auspicious
The main entrance is called the 'face' of the house—choose wisely.
2. Kitchen Placement
Ideal location: Southeast corner of the house
Avoid kitchens in the North-East (represents water element conflicting with fire)
The direction of the gas stove should be towards the East.
3. Master Bedroom Direction
Best positioned in the South-West corner
For children's rooms, the North-West or West is suitable
4. Bathroom Location
It should ideally be in the North-West or West zone
Avoid bathrooms in the North-East corner
Proper drainage and ventilation are also crucial from a Vastu standpoint.
5. Living Room Vibes
A living room in the North or East direction brings positivity
Ensure there’s good cross ventilation and natural light
6. Pooja Room Location
Most auspicious direction: North-East (Ishan corner)
Avoid placing a pooja space in bedrooms or near washrooms
Even a small pooja cabinet placed correctly can make a difference.
7. Avoid Irregular Shapes
Square or rectangular flats are ideal
Irregularly shaped flats may disrupt energy flow
8. Vastu for Chembur Flats
Many new projects in Chembur offer Vastu-compliant units
You can often choose between multiple layout options
Ask the builder or broker to show you Vastu-friendly configurations.
9. Plants and Mirrors
Indoor plants enhance positive energy in the East or North zones
Avoid placing mirrors directly opposite the bed or main door
10. Parking and Balconies
North or East-facing balconies are best
Avoid placing parking areas in the North-East corner
