1.Locating the drawing room as per vastu laws
The perfect location of a 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 which faces west, the living room must be in the north-west direction. For a south facing house, south-east 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
North-west location:Â The north-west quadrant, belonging to the element of air, is an ideal location for the drawing room, that is, if you want to avoid late night parties, get-togethers, etc. This quadrant indicates movement and makes guests restless, encouraging them to leave.
North-east location: This makes the drawing room a storehouse of positive energy and bestows the users with serenity and mental peace.
Northern location: This quadrant of wealth and health adds a congenial ambience to the room and infuses it with positive vibrations.
Eastern location: ideal for social connections, guests and family member feels positive together; grow social connections into good relations for long term.
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 favorable for the occupants.
2.Drawing room entrance as per vastu laws
The main door in your living room is where the flow of energy begins, and according to Vastu expert Akash chowdhary, it should face the north, east, or north-east direction. He also advises against painting the door black. For better Vastu, the door must be of good quality solid wood, avoid any obstacles or dwarved in front of the entrance and decorate the door with an ornate nameplate and floral torans. Restrict keeping a dustbin or shoe rack right outside the main door, as they attract bad energy. Since this is the first entryway to your home, make sure the area around the main door is well-lit and inviting.
