Common bedroom Vastu doshas and remedies

Master bedroom in the North-East

If possible use it as a guest room or study. Otherwise move the bed to the South-West of the room, sleep with head to the South, and avoid heavy furniture in the North-East corner.

Sleeping with head to the North

Rotate the bed so your head points South or East.

Mirror facing the bed

Move the mirror to a North or East wall inside a wardrobe, or cover it with a cloth at night.

Bedroom Vastu FAQs

Which direction should we sleep in as per Vastu?

Sleep with your head towards the South for deep, restful sleep; the East is also good, especially for students. Avoid sleeping with your head towards the North.

Which direction is best for the master bedroom?

The South-West is the best direction for the master bedroom because it is ruled by the earth element and brings stability to the head of the family.

Can a mirror be kept in the bedroom?

Yes, but it should not reflect the bed. Place it on the North or East wall, ideally inside a wardrobe door.
