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.
