Vastu is an ancient Hindu science that deals with architecture and construction and helps in designing structures to promote harmony. Bedrooms are a place to rest and rejuvenate. Enhancing the bedroom by following some Vastu tips can assure positivity and improve your quality of sleep. Let’s discuss some Vastu tips that you can use in the bedroom:
Bedroom Direction
The best direction to place the bedroom according to Vastu Shastra is in the South-west direction of the house. It is believed to improve health and prosperity. The other direction you can keep your bedroom is the North.
What you don’t want to do is place the bedroom in the South-east and northeast as it can cause quarrels and deteriorate health.
Bedroom Color
According to Vastu, bedroom colors can affect our wealth, state of being, and health.
Soothing colors such as white, baby pink, cream, green, and blue are believed to be good for bedrooms.
Dark colors like black, brown, red may not be a good idea as they resemble fierceness and aggression.
Bed Placement
Vastu teaches us to arrange our bed in the East-west direction or South-north direction.
Under all circumstances, avoid sleeping with the head in the north. Use rectangle or square bedrooms and avoid unorthodox, shaped beds like round beds.
Bedroom Door Placement
As per Vastu Shastra, the bedroom door should open completely to 90° with little or no noise. Also, the bedroom door shouldn’t open in the south.
Bedroom Plants
Bedroom plants are always a great idea as they ensure great indoor air quality. Some plants that can be added to your bedroom as per Vastu are Bamboo, Lavender, Jasmine, and Lily.
Avoid Gadgets in the Bedroom
Bedroom is a place where you relax and rejuvenate. For this, it is important to avoid any kind of equipment when you’re in there.
Adding electronic appliances like refrigerators and TV into the bedroom should be avoided. In addition to hampering your sleep quality, they also emit harmful radiation.
In addition to the above points, Vastu also teaches us to avoid overhead beams above the bed, placing mirrors in front of the bed and keeping pictures of deceased people in the bedroom. Follow these tips for a peaceful and calm bedroom.
