Here are the 14 Simple Vastu Tips for Home:
1. DON'T KEEP MEDICINES IN KITCHEN
Proof your kitchen against all evils. You can do so by keeping medicines away from the kitchen. This is because a kitchen indicates health and happiness, and medicines indicate otherwise.
2. HAVE A NAMEPLATE OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR
There is a science behind the idea of having a nameplate outside one’s door. Vastu experts advise people to place a nameplate outside their home. This indicates ownership of the house and it works in the favour of the owners as it helps trace positivity and good opportunities back to you.
3. LIGHT LAMPS AND DIYAS
Light lamps, diyas and incense at home each evening and morning. This acts as a cleanser, shooing away the negativity or any evil eye.
4. PLACEMENT OF KITCHEN
Build your kitchen in the south-east corner of the house. If not possible then, the north-west corner is the second best option. However, make sure your gas stove is placed in the south-east direction.
