The ideal location of living room is in the north or east. However, in modern homes it is not always possible to have the ideal location. According to Vastu, the ideal location depends on the position of the home. For the east or north facing home, living room can be in North-east direction. For the west facing home, it can be in the North-west and for south facing home it can be in the South-east.

2. ​Welcome home

Usually the main door of the home opens in the living room. Ensure that the door is in the right direction and right place. North and east entrance brings in health, wealth and fame, west welcomes calmness, south, north-east or south-east brings success but after hard work and north-west indicates overall development. However, south-west is inauspicious for the entrance door. Avoid it.

3. ​Colour of the wall

The colour of the room should be soothing and calming. Vastu recommends white, green, blue or yellow for the living room. Avoid dark shades and say no to black or red in the living area. Hang paintings depicting fresh water or waterfall, sun, God and pleasant scenery to attract positive vibe.

4. ​Positioning the furniture

The furniture, decoration articles or any heavy items should be placed in the west or south side of the room. Keep the north-east empty and clean. A few healthy plants in this corner are good. But don’t keep any dry or artificial flowers in the room. Make sure that the furniture is square or rectangle in shapes. Avoid round, oval or irregular shapes in furniture.

5. ​Entertaining relaxation

Living area has also become the entertainment room for the family. Place the TV in south-east direction. Vastu prohibit placing TV in north-east or south-west corner.

6. ​Embellishing it bright

Ensure that the living room is well lit with soothing lights and well ventilated to bring in freshness. If there is a chandelier, hang it is the south or west corner. Avoid hanging anything it in the centre of the room.

7. ​Perfecting the imperfection
