VAASTU SHASTRA | DOORS AND WINDOWS

In Vaastu Shastra, the doors and windows should be in the right positions to allow proper flow of air, light and energy from the outside to the inside and from room to room. These Vastu guidelines are based on scientific principles and it makes sense to follow them.

Here, I have discussed the Vaastu Shastra tips for the correct positions, number of Doors and Windows.

NUMBER OF DOORS AND WINDOWS IN A HOUSE:

There should be an even number of doors like 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.

Avoid an odd number of doors.

There should be an even number of windows in the house, like 2,4,6.8 etc.

Avoid odd number of windows like 1,3,5,7,9 . However, depending on your requirement, you can have any number of windows.

LOCATION OF INTERNAL DOORS AND WINDOWS IN A HOUSE:

GENERAL TIPS:

The internal doors can be placed according to the room arrangement and convenience.

The internal windows should be opposite to the doors so that both the positive and negative cycles are completed.

The windows in the North wall should be more towards the North-East and should be long and wide.

The windows in the East wall should be more towards the North-East and should be long and wide.

Avoid too many windows in the South-West directions.

BEDROOM:

The door should open 90 degrees into the bedroom.- A door that cannot open fully will limit the flow of opportunities.

Door should be positioned in East, West or North. Avoid fixing doors in the South-West of a bedroom.

Main Windows should be in East or North. And smaller windows should be in the West.

STUDY ROOM:

Door to the Study Room can be in the North-East or North.

Large Windows can be in the East wall.

Smaller windows can be in the West wall.

DINING ROOM:

The door leading to the Dining hall can be in the East, North or West.

The door of the Dining room and the main entrance door of the house should not face each other directly.

KITCHEN:

The door should be in the North, East or in the North-East corner of the Kitchen.

The door should open in a clockwise direction.

The ventilators and larger Kitchen windows should be in the East direction.

The smaller windows can be in the South.

There should be adequate provision for cross ventilation.

BATHROOM (TOILET):

In the Bathroom, if possible, there should be a small window in the East or West and a bigger window in the North after providing for privacy.

The door of the Bathroom should be in the East or the North direction as far as possible.

HOME OFFICE:

The entrance Door to the office should be on the South side for maximum business.

The Entrance on the North side will create inactivity in the Office.

Make sure that you do not keep any obstacles in front of any door of the office.

The windows should preferrably be on the North and East side for best quality of day light.

Its preferrable to have an odd number of windows and doors in the office for dynamism and for new opportunities.

LOCATION OF THE MAIN DOOR:

To figure out where to place a main door, divide the front facade of the house into two parts with an imaginary, middle, vertical line. The door should be placed towards the centre, either in the left or the right half, depending on the direction the house faces.

For a East facing House - Avoid placing a door in the South-East, instead place it towards the North-East. The door should not be at the corner of the walls, but a few feet away from the corner junction.

For a South-facing House - Avoid placing a door in the South-West, instead place it towards the South-East. If a house has a main entrance in the South there should be one more corresponding to it in the North direction also.

For a West-facing house - Avoid placing a door in the South-West, instead place it towards the North-West. If a house has a main entrance in the South there should be one more corresponding to it in the North direction also.

For a North-facing house - Avoid placing a door in the North-West, instead place it in the left half, that is in the North-East.

VAASTU GUIDELINES | INTERNAL DOORS AND WINDOWS

In Vastu Shastra, the positioning of the doors and windows is important because they let in the air, light and energy into the rooms of the house. If they are in the right positions, then there is a positive flow of air, light and energy from the outside to the inside and from room to room, thus enhancing the health and the lives of the inmates.

Here, I have discussed the Vastu Guidelines for the internal doors and windows of a house.

VAASTU SHASTRA GUIDELINES FOR THE INTERNAL DOORS OF A HOUSE:

Number of doors: A house should have even number of doors instead of odd number.

Placement of internal doors: The internal doors can be placed according to the room arrangement, furniture arrangement to ensure easy and comfortable circulation and movement from room to room.

Placement of the Main door: For the Main door it is advisable to follow the rules explained below because every time you enter your house you activate a presiding energy in relationship to the mandala of the house at that point. So the main door must be precisely located for the activation of beneficial energy.

VAASTU SHASTRA GUIDELINES FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE MAIN DOOR:

To figure out where to place a main door, imagine that you are standing outside the front of the house. Divide the front facade of the house into two parts with an imaginary, middle, vertical line. The main door should be placed towards the centre, either in the left or the right half, depending on the direction the house faces.

Avoid placing the main door in the corners: The main door should not be placed at the corner of two walls, but a few feet away from the corner junction.

For a East facing House: Avoid placing a door in the South-East, instead place it towards the right half, that is towards the North-East as shown here.

For a South-facing house: Avoid placing a door in the left half (South-West), instead place it in the right half, that is in the South-East, as shown here.

For a South-facing house: If a house has a main entrance in the South there should be one more corresponding to it in the North direction also.

For a West-facing house: Avoid placing a door in the right half (South-West), instead place it in the left half, that is in the North-West, as shown here.
For a West-facing house: If a house has a main entrance in the West it should have a corresponding door in the East also.

For a North-facing house: Avoid placing a door in the right half (North-West), instead place it in the left half, that is in the North-East, as shown in the diagram here.

VAASTU SHASTRA GUIDELINES FOR THE POSITION OF WINDOWS OF A HOUSE:

Window position: The windows should be opposite to the doors so that both the positive and negative cycles are completed.

Window position in North wall: The windows in the North wall should be more towards the North-East and should be long and wide.

Window position in East wall: The windows in the East wall should be more towards the North-East and should be long and wide.

Window position in the South and West walls: Avoid too many windows in the South and West directions.

VAASTU SHASTRA GUIDELINES FOR THE NUMBER OF WINDOWS IN A HOUSE:

There should be an even number of windows in the house, like 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.
Avoid odd number of windows like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 .

This post was about the Vastu guidelines for the positioning of the internal doors and windows during the construction of a House. Once the house construction is over, a house-warming pooja should be performed before you begin living in the house. Read about this ritual here:

VAASTU GUIDELINES: HOUSE-WARMING POOJA

CHOICES - MATERIALS

While making the Project Brief, you will be faced with a number of choices regarding the material to be used, the design of the interiors, the exteriors and so on. Each of these choices have their own pros and cons.

Here are some of the choices which you could consider while planning the MATERIALS to be used for the Doors, Windows, Flooring, Electrical, Plumbing, Grills, Building material.

DOORS - TEAK VS STEEL VS MOULDED:

Moulded doors are the cheapest option followed by steel doors and then Teak doors. So most people opt to have moulded internal doors and a steel or teak main door.
A teak main door looks good, however it must be maintained well and you should ensure that no water hits it during the rainy season.
A safer and cheaper option is a steel door with wood finish (powder coating). But this does not look as good as a teak door

WINDOWS - WOODEN VS ALUMINIUM VS UPVC:

Wood windows are costly Rs700 - 750 /sq ft but look very aesthetic. Wood windows need to be well protected from rain and harsh sunlight. They need regular maintenance.
Aluminum windows are not strong.
The cost of upvc windows ranges from Rs350 /sq ft for sliding designs and Rs500 /sq ft for casement windows both without grill option. Upvc windows are cheaper but do not look as good as wooden windows.

GRANITE VS MARBLE VS VITRIFIED TILES:

A white floor reflects more light, brightness into the room. Flooring options include Granite, Marble, Vitrified Tiles, Kota etc.
Granite and Marble can be polished to a high finish and this flooring looks very elegant and luxurious. But over time, these materials lose their sheen. However, they can be re-polished, though each time, 2mm - 3 mm thickness of the stone surface will be removed.
Granite and Marble are expensive. Finding shades of white Granite is difficult and Marble is soft and gets stained easily. They are naturally occurring and so, getting stones of the same quality, without fault lines is difficult.
Vitrified tiles have a lot more options and is definitely cost effective. Vitrified has the tendency to chip and crack when heavy objects are dropped on it. Vitrified does not look as natural and elegant as Marble or Granite. The joints between vitrified tiles are visible and get very dirty. Make sure you buy good quality Vitrified tiles so that they will last long.

BRICK VS CEMENT BLOCK:

Cement blocks work out cheaper than Bricks. Cement block walls are 6" thick compared to 9" Brick walls which gives added inches to the room dimensions. Also, Cement block walls are easier to construct. However, a room built with Cement block will heat up soon.
Brick walls are more expensive - Bricks come in 2 varieties- regular which is around Rs 6/brick and wire-cut which is Rs 8 /Brick and suitable for exposed brick work. Brick walls require skilled masons to construct. But the advantage is that rooms with brick walls will remain cool. And in terms of safety, brick walls are much safer and stronger than cement block walls.

GRILLS VS HEX RODS:

Security is a major concern today and iron grills are mandatory to prevent burglary. There are two ways of fixing grills - screw on the grill to the window frame or pierce 12 mm hex rods through the wooden frames into the walls.
Grills are more aesthetic compared to hex rods as they are available in various patterns. However grilled windows are easy to break into as the grill can be unscrewed from the frame.
Hex rods are hard to break through as they run throughout the window frame, and the spacing of the hex rods is usually at 3" intervals. Moreover, these rods are thick and hence hard to bend.

Similarly, you will be faced with different choices for the EXTERIOR and INTERIOR your house. Read about it here:

CHOICES - EXTERIOR
CHOICES - INTERIOR

A living room is the space where people spend plenty of time, a place for social gatherings, or a space to watch TV together in the evening or also can be used as a dining space when a room separator is implemented. So, before buying furniture for the living room it is important to take care of the functional needs.

While designing your living room, it’s a good idea to think about certain key aspects like space available, the colours to be used, the kind of furniture and accessories you fancy.

LIVING ROOM DOORS AND WINDOWS -

Door openings in a Living room should be located so as to give enough wall space for the furniture arrangements.

It is preferable to have the doors of constant use placed so that the traffic between them will not interfere with the furniture groups.

It is even better if the Main door and the door leading to the other rooms are close to each other in one corner of the room, as the rest of the room can be used for the furniture and a main traffic lane can be avoided.

Windows should be located so that a seating arrangement can face the window, since looking out while having a conversation is quite interesting.

There should be convenient access to the windows and doors, and furniture should not block the windows.

The TV position should be fixed such that it is not opposite a window, as the TV screen will reflect the light from the window.

LIVING ROOM SIZES:

In my experience as an Architect for the past 15 years, I have found that to arrange furniture and move around comfortably in a Living room, it has to have some minimum basic sizes. Here I have recommended the sixes for a comfortable Living room.

LIVING ROOM WIDTH:

There should be convenient access to the windows and doors, and furniture should not block the windows.
In small sites, it is difficult to have wide living rooms, but I suggest that the bare minimum width should be 11'0", though it is worthwhile to somehow increase it to 12'0" or at least 11'6", because this will allow for the comfortable arrangement of a furniture group along the width of the Living room.
A comfortable width will be 13'0", provided the living room has a big opening to the dining room.
A luxurious width will be about 15'0" or even more, depending on the size of your site, budget and the number of people you intend to entertain very often.

LIVING ROOM LENGTH:

In a small site, you may have to restrict the length to about 15', which I consider the bare minimum in order to have a reasonably spacious feel and to arrange two seating groups.
A comfortable length for a Living room will be at least 18', as this allows for spacious arrangement of seating groups, easy movement space as well as comfortable distance for TV viewing.
A luxurious length will be 20' and above. This solely depends on your site size, budget, and how often and how many people you entertain. It also depends on whether you want to have additional furniture like a Piano, or a Game table for cards etc.

LIVING ROOM DIMENSIONS:

So to summarize, the Living room dimensions can be as follows:

Basic minimum - 11'0"x 15'0" and above.
Comfortable - 13'0"x18'0" and above.
Luxurious - 15'0" (and above) x 20'0" (and above).

LOCATION OF LIVING ROOM:

The Living room is the space where guests are entertained and the first impression is made. In many houses, it is also a kind of Family room, where the family sits together to watch TV or have discussions. The Location of a Living room depends on factors like the main Road, the Foyer, the main entrance door, orientation etc. For Vastu tips on the best location for a Living Room go to:

VAASTU SHASTRA | LIVING ROOM

DESIGN OF A DINING ROOM | SIZES

For many people, the dining room is their centrepiece—the place that they entertain guests and share family meals. Because of its importance to the home, it’s important to get the design of any dining room exactly right.

A dining room needs to be inviting, relaxing, and as delicious to look at and spend time in as the food being served. Bold, rich colours can work well, but lighter, more subdued tones are equally suitable, depending on the mood to be created. Try to make the dining room accessible as well. Dishes need to be brought in and taken out, while guests will need to move around.

DOORS AND WINDOWS IN DINING ROOM-

It is preferable to have the doors of constant use placed so that the traffic between them will not interfere with the furniture groups.

It is ideal if the door to the dining room is placed in a corner and the door leading out of the dining room to other spaces, is placed directly opposite in the other corner of the room, so as to enable the dining table and other furniture to be placed in the remaining portion of the room.

Windows should be big to allow light to the dining room.

There should be convenient access to the windows and doors, and furniture should not block the windows.

The TV position should be fixed such that it is not opposite a window, as the TV screen will reflect the light from the window.

DINING ROOM SIZES:

In my experience as an Architect for the past 15 years, I have found that to arrange furniture and move around comfortably in a Dining room, it has to have some minimum basic sizes. Keeping in mind, the number of people seated at a dining table, I have recommended here the sizes for a comfortable Dining room.

Four persons (seats on 2 sides)- 8'0" x 11'6"

Four persons (seats on 4 sides)- 9'0" x 11'6"

Six persons (seats on 2 sides) - 10'0" x 13'6" or 12'0" x 10'0"

Six persons (seats on 4 sides) - 10'0" x 13'0" or 12'0" x 11'0"

Eight persons (seats on mainly 2 sides)-10'6" x 15'0" or 12'6" x 13'

Eight persons (seating on all 4 sides) - 11'0" x 13'0" or 13'0" x 11'0"

Ten persons - 11'0" width x 15'0" length or 13'0" width x 13'0" length

DINING ROOM DIMENSIONS:

So to summarize, the basic, minimum dimensions for a Dining room depends on the number of persons to be seated and the manner in which the dining table and buffet/sideboard/ crockery cabinet are arranged.

If the dining room width has to be less, then the dining table and crockery unit cannot be placed side by side along the width of the room. Then the crockery cabinet is placed at the end along the length of the room, thereby increasing the length of the room.

If the Dining room width can be more, then the dining table and buffet can be arranged along the width of the room, which allows the length of the dining room to be lesser as seen below.

Basic, Minimum for 4 persons - 8' x 11'6" and above.

Basic, Minimum for 6 persons - 10' x 13' or 12' x 10' and above.

Basic, Minimum for 8 persons - 10'6" x 15' or 13' x 11' and above.

Basic, Minimum for 10 persons - 11' x 15' or 13' x 13' and above.

DINING ROOM LOCATION-

The Dining room is the space where the family sits together to have a meal and where guests are entertained. The Location of a Dining room depends on factors like the proximity to the Living room, the Kitchen, wash basin etc. For Vastu tips on the best location for a Dining Room go to:

HOUSE CONSTRUCTION | EVALUATE THE DESIGN GIVEN BY THE ARCHITECT

When you have decided to build your dream house, the natural thing to do is to commission an Architect. You will brief him with your requirements and he will design accordingly. When designing a house, the main consideration is to create a pleasant, comfortable environment to live in. Any design challenge has many solutions but the best solution is the one which solves most of the problems.

To be sure, that you have got the best design solution, it is worthwhile to check whether the following points have been taken into consideration by your Architect:

Site location- Generally most clients go to an Architect after buying a Site. But if you have the chance to include the Architect in the selection, then you could benefit from his advice. The best location for a plot is in a peaceful and calm place, with lot of greenery and good water source and good soil. When purchasing a property, it is a good idea to stand on the land and feel its vibration for a few moments. Trust your feelings. If you feel positive about it, consider buying the land. If not, it is probably not good for you. You can also visit my other site to get tips on: V astu guidelines on Site Location.

Site shape- The best shapes for sites are square or rectangular, facing squarely on the four cardinal directions. The main reason is that square or rectangle shaped houses are generally considered most practical to use. It is easier to design a house on rectangular lines since this allows for a good flow of interior spaces within the house. It may be for this reason that sites in cities are usually available in rectangle shapes such as 30'x40', 40'x60', 50'x80' etc. You can visit my other site to get tips on: Vastu guidelines for Site Shape.

Orientation- The first thing to be considered when designing a house, is the Orientation. Ideally, the location of rooms, windows should depend on the direction, just as it is recommended in Vastu. This is because in Vastu (an ancient Indian building science), the rooms of a house are positioned in specific directions so as to capture the beneficial and positive effects of the Sun, Wind, Earth's magnetic field, natural resources, topography of site etc. There is scientific reasoning and logic in Vastu and this has been explained by me in my other site: Vastu factors |Cardinal directions.

Comfortable sizes of rooms- Depending on your site size, your budget and your requirement the room sizes will be fixed. However, for each room, whether it is a toilet, kitchen or living room, there are some basic sizes to be considered for comfortable living. It is not advisable to have sizes less than the basic sizes.

Proper circulation- Easy and unobstructed movement from space to space is very important. For this, The proper placement of doors, windows, furniture is an essential consideration.

Pleasant atmosphere- To create a pleasant atmosphere filled with positive energy it is useful to follow some scientific principles of Vastu (Visit my site: Vastu Shastra Factors) which manipulate the topography of site, the natural resources, the beneficial effects of the Sun, the Wind directions to create a well lit, well-ventilated and clean house. The skillful use of colours, right finishing materials(for floors, walls, bathrooms, windows, doors, woodwork), furniture etc can also create a pleasing environment.

Elevational treatment- The exterior of the house can be made attractive by the judicious use of materials (stone, exposed bricks, tiles etc) textures, colours, solids and voids in the right balance, sloping roofs and so on.

Landscaping- The Natural landscape can be enhanced or created with the help of lawns, water fountains, water bodies, stone arrangements, stone sculptures, seasonal or perennial flowering plants, benches and useful medicinal plants and fruit trees. For information on useful trees and plants in the House garden, go to: Vaastu Shastra | Garden trees and plants

After evaluating the plan and conveying any changes or additional requirements to the Architect, He will produce a final 'final' plan as per your requirements. The next step is to "get plan approval". You can read about it here:

GETTING YOUR PLAN APPROVED

DESIGN OF OTHER ROOMS IN A HOUSE

VAASTU SHASTRA | STUDY ROOM

The Study room, as the name suggests is used for studying or as a library or as a Home Office. Sometimes it is also used for Sleeping. It is normally located in the Upper Floors where there is peace and privacy. The Study room should have a lot of natural light and quiet.

Here, are some of the Vastu Guidelines to be considered when designing a Study Room.

LOCATION OF STUDY ROOM:

West - Study Room should be in the West of the House, as it is believed that Mercury, which increases brain power, Jupiter which increases ambition and curiosity, Moon which helps in the generation of new thoughts and ideas and Venus which helps in the growth of talent have a better effect if the study room is in the West.

SHAPE OF A STUDY ROOM:

Pyramid Shape- A Study Room used only for studying and not for sleeping can be a pyramidal shaped room.

LOCATION OF WINDOWS AND THE DOOR TO THE STUDY:

Door to the Study Room can be in the North-East or North.
Large Windows can be in the East wall.
Smaller windows can be in the West wall.

POSITION OF FURNITURE AND FIXTURES IN A STUDY ROOM:

VAASTU SHASTRA | BEDROOM

The Bedroom is the private place, where you can unwind, relax and sleep. Something that everyone has in common is sleeping. It takes up approximately one third of your life and therefore is an extremely important factor in your overall health. It is also the space where you get dressed, read and study.

Here are some of the Vastu Guidelines to be considered while designing a Master Bedroom or Children's Bedroom or Guest Bedroom.

LOCATION OF BEDROOM:

Main Bedrooms in the South.
Avoid Bedrooms in North-East corner.
Avoid Bedrooms in the middle of the House.
Avoid Bedrooms above Car Porch/Garage, Kitchen.

LOCATION OF A MASTER BEDROOM :

Master Bedroom should be in South-West.
If there is more than one floor, the Master Bedroom should be on the upper floor, in the South-West corner.
Avoid Master Bedroom in the South-East corner.

LOCATION OF A GUEST BEDROOM:

Guest Bedroom should be in the North-West. This corner represents Vayu or movement which implies that Guests who sleep in this bedroom will not stay for long and get going on their way.

LOCATION OF A CHILDREN'S BEDROOM :

Children's Bedroom should be in the West or East side.

SHAPE OF A BEDROOM:

Square or Rectangle shapes are the most suitable shapes for the bedroom furniture arrangement.

DIRECTION FOR SLEEPING IN A BEDROOM:

Avoid Head in North - In fact only a dead body is kept with the head in the North and the feet pointing towards the South.
Head in East: East is the direction of knowledge and enlightenment. Sleeping with the head in the East increases knowledge and increases a liking for spiritualism. For this reason, children should always sleep with their head in the east.
Head in West: Sleeping with one's head in the West is good for people who do not permanently reside in the house, like guests and married daughters, in their parents' house.
Head in South. South is the best direction for sleeping. Sleeping with one's head in the South brings happiness and sound sleep.

DOOR AND WINDOWS POSITION IN A BEDROOM:

Door should open 90 degrees into the bedroom.- A door that cannot open fully will limit the flow of opportunities.
Door position in East, West or North. Avoid fixing doors in the South-West of a bedroom.
Main Windows in East or North. And smaller windows in the West is ideal.

POSITION OF A BED :

Avoid sleeping in alignment with sharp corners. They should be camouflaged with plants or rounded off.
Avoid sleeping under beams or slanted ceiling.The remedy is to create a false ceiling.
Keep beds 2" away from walls.
Avoid bed directly facing the door. But the bed should be placed in a position where the occupants can see anyone coming into the rooms.

ARRANGEMENT OF FURNITURE IN THE BEDROOM:

Safe in South-West, opening towards North.
Open space in the North-East.
Beds should not be shaky. The mattress should provide good support to the body while resting.
Dressing table should be in the East or North.
Study table should face East, North or North-East.
Avoid Television. If a TV is kept, it should never be directly in front of the bed as it works as a mirror and generates negative energy. It can be kept to the right or left of the bed at an angle for comfortable viewing from bed.
Computers should be in the South-East.
Wardrobes should be in the North-West or South-West.
Keep things that make you happy in front of the Bedroom door.Upon entering, your bedroom, the first thing you see should be something that gives you the feeling of peace and serenity such as a photograph, a favorite quote or even flowers that enhance these positive feelings.
Keep objects that remind you of unfinished tasks out of the room, or at least out of sight as the bedroom should be a place where you can totally relax.
Attached Bathroom should be in the East or South-East.
Avoid a mirror directly opposite the bed.
Avoid Religious idols in the Bedroom
Avoid clutter in the Bedroom as it represents stagnation.
Avoid storing things under the bed.

VAASTU COLOURS OF BEDROOM WALLS:

Walls should be light rose, gray, blue, chocolate, dark green etc and not bright colurs.

VAASTU EVALUATION EXERCISE FOR THE BEDROOMS:
This exercise is just a guideline to help you decide, where to position the Bedrooms in your house plan. In case you already have a house, then this exercise will help you to evaluate the location of your existing Bedrooms as per Vastu Shastra principles. Accordingly, you can decide if you want to make some corrections and changes to your house.
