7 Vaastu Thumb Rules For Your Home To Follow During The COVID-19 Lockdown

With an extended lockdown period from 15th April, life seems to have come to a stop for a while. Netflix series finished, no recent movies released and the board games becoming monotonous; each day has become a boring and pale rotation of hours. To cheer up your body and soul at this gloomy hour, an earlier post was made listing indoor plant ideas that can be employed during the lockdown period. Well, this post includes some Vaastu home décor alterations or arrangements that will not only bring you good luck and health but also will keep you engaged during the lockdown. Just invest a couple of hours a day and let your home dwell in the right kind of energy with all positive vibrations around you.

Vaastu for your main door or main entrance

The doors (particularly the main door) are considered as the main entry point of the energy. It is also considered that every time a person enters the house, the main door should produce positive energy. Thus, doors play an important role in the science of Vaastu.

  • Many people tend to place a shoe rack or a dustbin just outside the main door. Don’t do that.
  • Refrain yourself from placing any animal statues or water-centric showpieces outside your main door.
  • Make the door well lit and decorate it with auspicious door hangs. You can choose pious symbols of birds like parrot, peacocks and swans. Any image of Goddess Lakshmi seating on elephants is a fine Vaastu decoration for doors. Every family posses their own Kul Devta. Their corresponding images can also be hanged on the main door.
  • Avoid the colour black for the main door.

It is an all-purpose room for watching television, family gatherings, spending time with each other, sharing food and many more day-to-day activities. Nevertheless, the living room is an important element in Vaastu for an energy boost up of the place. It should be designed carefully so that it radiates positivity while encouraging healthy relationships.

  • Place your heavy furniture in the west or south-west direction of the living room.
  • Replace artificial flowers or dried flowers (if any) from the living room with the fresh ones. If you can’t get any in the market now, don’t keep any flora there. Every artificial or dried up flower calls for bad luck.
  • Avoid dark colours for your living room. Paint them yellow, light green or white for a healthy ambiance.
  • Avoid any sort of hangs at the centre of the living room. Also, make sure that your living room is well lit.
