The Bathroom;
1. Vastu places the West and South for the bathroom and provides that the flow of
its drain should be towards Northeast. This position has something to do with the
sun falling on the body after a good bath.
2. Positioning of the toilet should be at the West or Northwest of the room at a level
of 30 to 60 cm above the ground.
3. If the bathroom is structured as an attachment to the building, it should be
positioned on the West or Northwest and never on the Northeast side.
4. Bathtubs and sinks are best located on the Northeast, North, or East side of the
room.
The Dining Room
1. Vastu recommends the dining room to be near or attached to the kitchen and
situated either at the Southeast, Northwest, or Northeast corner of the house.
To encourage profitability coming in, place the dining room at the West side of
the building.
2. It is best to keep in mind not to place your kitchen at the Southwest corner of the
house since it is said to obstruct financial increase and brings certain detriments
to the health of its dwellers.
3. You can place the dining table at the center of the house but make sure that it is
not situated towards the Southwest corner.
4. Positioning the kitchen on the ground floor and the dining room on the upper floor
is said to be improper since carrying food while crossing stairs is in itself
improper.
5. During mealtime, the proper table places should have the head of the family
facing the East while the rest should either face East, West, or North. It is said
that placing a family member in a position facing the South will result to petty
quarrels.
6. Make sure that the door of the dining room area does not face the main entrance
of the room.
7. The dining hall area must have a door to the East, North, or West and should not
be decorated with arches.
8. Dining tables should either be square, rectangular in shape or never round, eggshaped,
or irregular. Dining tables attached or folded against the wall are not
advisable.
9. There should be water and wash basin in the East or North but never in the
Southeast or Southwest corner of the room.
10. Landscape paintings or portraits of nature will permit a happy atmosphere in the
dining area. In addition keep the dining room positive by painting the walls with
light blue, yellow, saffron, or light green hues.
11. Toilets are best kept as not annexed to the dining room although there’s no harm
for the laundry room to be near the dining room.
The Kitchen
1. Position the kitchen at the Southeast, although placing it in the Northwest can
also be desirable. Whichever of these locations get occupied by the kitchen
should also consider the cook who should be placed at the East. Avoid using the
Northeast part of the house for kitchens; it’s bound to bring negative vibrations
concerning family relationships and finances.
2. The location of the sink where the tap water should be located at the Northeast
and must not be near the stove or fire area since situations like this will hold back
peace and mutual love within the family.
3. It is a must to avoid placing the kitchen at the Northeast corner since conflict
among family member will always take place.
4. Storage shelves and attics should be in the South and West particularly those
that are heavy.
