VAASTU SHASTRA | BALCONY

A Balcony is a platform that projects from the wall of the building and is surrounded by a railing. It is usually attached and accessed from the Bedroom. It is meant for relaxing, sitting, having a cup of coffee and unwinding. It may or may not have a roof.

Here are some Vastu Guidelines to be considered while designing a Balcony. 

LOCATION OF A BALCONY:

• Balconies should be in the East or North part of the house.
• Avoid Balconies in the South or the West sides of the main building.

ARRANGEMENT OF FURNITURE IN A BALCONY:

• Heavy furniture and seating should be placed in the South-West of the balcony.
• Swing should be in the East-West axis.
• Small plants should be placed in the North-East of the Balcony.
• Keep only small flower pots in the Balcony.
• Avoid flower pots with creepers in the Balcony.

BALCONY ROOF:

• The height of the Balcony roof should be less than the roof of the main building.
• Avoid using asbestos or tin for the roof of a Balcony.
