VASTU FOR DRAWING ROOM

knowledge bestowed upon us by our seers. The principles laid down by this
system can be cleverly incorporated in creating and designing beautiful modern
day living rooms which can make our lives healthier and more meaningful.
The drawing room is an important component of
the house, which makes the house favourable or unfavourable for residence. It
is that part of the house where the members spend a lot of time, and which is
also used to entertain the guests.
DRAWING ROOM DICTATES OUR DESTINY
The living room is always the centre of the
house and each one of us wants to decorate it in the best possible manner. But
it is not just about décor and style, the room must give a warm and comfort
feel as well. Therefore, it is extremely important to do a careful setting of
your drawing room, so that it exudes positive energy and fosters healthy
relationships.
LOCATING THE DRAWING ROOM
Northwest Location: The Northwest quadrant,
belonging to the element of air, is an ideal location of the drawing room, that
is, if you want to avoid late night parties, get together etc. This quadrant
indicates movement and makes guests restless, encouraging them to leave.
Northeast Location: This makes a drawing room
storehouse of positive energy and bestows the users with serenity and mental peace.
Northern Location: this quadrant of wealth adds
a congenial ambience to the room and infuses it with positive vibrations.
South-west location: This attracts guests like flies
to sugar. since this corner makes one feel quite at home, the guests may become
pests. However, this quadrant is favourable to the occupants.
DRAWING ROOM ENTRANCE
The main entrance of the house is usually
through the drawing room. When locating the entrance, ensure that there is more
space towards the right. The direction of the main entrance is significant.
Northeast entrance: Bestows health, wealth, prosperity,
and fame.
South, Northeast, or southeast entrance:
Indicates success but through hard work.
West entrance: Ideal for scholars, as it
bestows a calming influence.
Northwest Entrance: Indicates developments in
all spheres.
Southwest Entrance: Considered inauspicious,
its negative influence can be countered by shifting the entrance door towards
west.
GENERAL TIPS FOR THE DRAWING ROOM
1) Never
have a beam or girder running along the ceiling of the drawing room since
sitting under one cause mental turmoil and stress.
2) Color
the walls with either white or light green as it promotes a sense of
togetherness and affection between the guests and occupants. Do not use dark shades
except on the east wall.
3) Use
light curtains on the windows and doors in the Northeast wall and heavy
curtains for the Southwest wall of the drawing room.
4) Keep
some space in the Northeast corner of the drawing room. Ensure that it remains
clean and clutter free. Enhance tranquillity of this space by placing a few
potted plants.
5) Place
television and air conditioner in the southeast or Agni corner.
6) To
generate positive energy and elevate the mood, display paintings depicting
beauty of nature or scenery that adds tranquillity to the room. Avoid
disturbing pictures of wars, wild animals, horror etc., and even those od
diseased family members.
7) Never
display artificial flowers as it is deemed inauspicious. Even dried flowers
attract misfortune as they represent the autumn season. Also never keep cacti
or Bonsai as they have a negative impact on the careers and financial prospects
of the occupants.
8) Hang
heavy chandelier in the south or west of the room. Avoid hanging it exactly in
the centre (Brahmasthan). The drawing room should be lit brightly.
9) Seat
the guests in the Northwest portion of the room. This quadrant of air and
movement ensures that they do not overstay their welcome.
10) The head of the family should always occupy
the South-west quadrant, facing either east or north. This ensures his
remaining in command and prevents guests from dominating.
The perfect location of the
drawing room is essentially based on the direction your house faces. The
drawing room can be constructed in the Northeast for a house that faces North
or East. For a house that faces West, the living room must be in the Northwest
direction. For a South facing house, southeast is the best direction. Similarly,
a drawing room can be in the central west, central east and central south or
central North of a house.
