BEDROOM

Your bedroom should be a haven of tranquility. It is important to get the required amount of sleep in order to perform at your best. A person works hard throughout the day and wants to sleep peacefully at night. In such a situation, when we build a house, our full attention is on our bedroom because only after a peaceful sleep at night, we shall go to work again the next day with more enthusiasm.

For women, striking a balance can be especially difficult. You are expected to maintain your career, raise your children, stay healthy, and maintain all of your other passions and hobbies. This does not leave much time for sleeping.

✔️*DIRECTION*

Having a properly designed bedroom can help you reduce your stress levels.

If the bedroom that a person is going to construct is Vastu-compliant, then sleep will also be pleasant and life will be happy and prosperous. But if it is against Vastu, then along with sleep, the person’s happiness and peace will also be snatched away. That’s why Vastu Shastri pays a lot of attention to the Vastu of the bedroom.

Here, I am highlighting the general principles of Bharatiya Vastu Shastra. However, the suggestions given here depend on the individual’s personal horoscope configuration. One should decide Vastu suggestion based on their personal Horoscope.

• According to Vastu Shastra, generally the bedroom should be made from the middle of the house, which is called Brahma-sthan, in the directions mentioned below.
  Towards the northwest in the south.
  Towards the northwest in the west.
  Towards the southwest in the west.
• The bedroom of children and unmarried should be in the East. There should not be bedroom of a newly married couple or young live-in couple in this direction, otherwise there may be problems in the family.
• Bedroom in the south or southwest is suitable for married and young children.
• The bedroom of the master of the house should mainly be in the southwest or west. This brings stability and health in their lives.
• If a shed is to be made in the bedroom, then make it on the west or south wall. However, do not keep the bed under it.
• By making children below 12 years of age sleep in the north side bed room, they bring glory to the family. Children’s bedroom can be made in the southeast.
• Only the temple of the house should be in the Northeast corner. This direction is forbidden for children, youth and couples. If an earning person, spouse, other couple, children or young person sleeps in the bedroom of this corner, then there may be obstacles in all their work, divorce or separation, delay in marriage, hindrance in financial or professional progress and mental disturbance. Bedroom should not be made in the northeast. Due to this, diseases and troubles come in the house.
• The bedrooms in the east and north direction are very good for health. If an unwell person stays in this bedroom, his health can be benefited.
• The southwest corner of bedroom should be weighed down by cupboards or heavy furniture.
• Sleeping of second child in the southeast corner of the house brings endless happiness in the house.
• If the third child sleeps in the northwest corner of the house, then that child progresses and becomes famous in the society.
• The bedroom of the unmarried girl and the guests should be in the northwest corner. Due to this, the guests will not stay more and the marriage of the girl can happen soon.

✔️*Bed*

• The head of the bed should always be towards the south.
  • If the headboard is on the south side, then the head of the bed should be touching the south wall.
• The head of the bed can be on the west side under special circumstances.
  • If the headboard is on the west side, then the head of the bed should be touching the west wall.
  • Students should sleep with their head in the west. It can increase their concentration in studies.
• The head of the bed can be on the east side under special circumstances.
  • If the headboard is towards the east, then the bed should be slightly away from the wall.
  • Head of the elders above 60 should be towards the east. It is good for good sleep and spiritual upliftment.
• The head of the bed should not be towards the North under any circumstances.
  • North direction is directly related to the magnetic pole. Keeping head in this direction will encounter headache, anxiety, insomnia etc.
• The bed should not be directly in front of the bedroom door. It will unrest the mind and create worries.
• If there is a beam in the bedroom, then the bed should not be kept under it.
• The reflection of the mirror should not fall on the bed. Here it can be harmful for the health of the spouse or those sleeping on the bed.
• There should be a strong wall behind the bed. There should be no empty space, ply wall or window behind the bed.
• A new mattress can help you get a good night’s sleep. If you have had your current mattress for a long time, and it is too lumpy, hard or soft, it will prevent it from being comfortable enough for you to sleep on.

✔️*Bedroom entry door*

• There should be only one door in the entrance of the bedroom. Under no circumstances the door of the bedroom should open towards the west. However, if the door of the bedroom opens towards west then one door should also open towards east and there should be window in north and east direction.
• The bed should not be right in front of the bedroom door, because of this mental disturbance and unnecessary worries surround the person.
• One should not keep feet towards the main door while sleeping because after death one is made to lie down with feet towards the main door.

✔️*Color*

The color of the bedroom should be according to the horoscope of its main resident. But here are the general rules which may show different results according to individual horoscope.

• Light pink, light yellow and light blue are suitable colors for the bedroom. These colors enhance love and harmony among the residents.
  • Nowadays there is a trend of applying multiple colors in the bedroom which is wrong. For example, yellow symbolizes Jupiter and pink symbolizes Venus. Both these planets are enemy planets of each other. That’s why according to Vastu Shastra, after getting the painting done on the wall, the results can be harmful. Choose the color of the bedroom wall considering which planet is auspicious for the resident as per his horoscope.
• Many Vastu Shastri say that the south wall of the bedroom or house should be of red color. But this is wrong. Red color increases aggression. Red colored wall in the bedroom has been found to increase debate, quarrel or dispute among the residents and family differences have been found to separate the family.
• Curtains in the bedroom should be light in color as they will bring peace of mind.
• Use a yellow sheet in the room of the elderly.
• Use a green sheet in the students’ room.
• Use a blue sheet in the room of writers and intellectuals.
• Use red or pink bed sheet in the room of the newlyweds.

Selection of color according to the predominance of the planet –

• Sun – Yellow, Golden, Bronze, Bright White, Golden Brown, Green, Brown
• Moon – pale yellow, pearl white, orange, camphor white, light to dark green, cream
• Mars – blood red, pink, scarlet, crimson
• Mercury – light shades of all colors, white, bright green, all shades of green, gray
• Jupiter – yellow, pink, violet, crimson, golden yellow
• Venus – pink, silvery white, rose color, sky blue, chocolaty

✔️*Cash vault, Wardrobe & Mirror*

• Try that the place to keep money or jewelry (safe/locker) is not be in the bedroom.
  • But in today’s era, it is the safest place. In this situation, keep the vault in the South of the bedroom in such a way that the main door of the vault opens towards the North.
• Nowadays there is a trend of making a separate dressing room in the bedroom. If so, then a wardrobe can be made in the north, north-west, west and south of the room.
• The wardrobe door of the bedroom should not open towards the southwest or south.
• Mirror should not be placed in the bedroom. However, if there is a mirror fixed on the door of dressing table or wardrobe, place the wardrobe in the North that the mirror should open towards the East. If it is an independent mirror, place it in the west such that it faces the East.
• The reflection of the mirror should not fall on the bed. Here it can be harmful for the health of the spouse or those sleeping on the bed.
• Too much dirt and clutter in your room can actually lead to lack of sleep. By keeping spacious clothing arrangements, such as well-organized wardrobes and drawers, you can create not only a clean space, but a clean mind.

✔️*Wall clock*

• The clock should be placed on the east, west or north wall in the bedroom.

✔️*Temple*

• If possible, do not make a temple in the bedroom.
• If a place of worship (home temple) has to be made in the bedroom, it should be made in the northeast of the room.
  • It should be covered with a curtain at night.
  • While sleeping, the head should be towards the east so that the feet will not be towards the temple.

✔️*Electronic Equipments*

• Electronic equipment like TV, heater, music system etc. should be kept in the southeast or south of the bedroom.
• Cooler or air condition should be installed in the East, North or Northeast of the bedroom. Due to lack of space, it can also be planted in the Northwest.
• Electronics are becoming a staple of everyday life, and having them in the bedroom may be something you want to reconsider, as the light emitted from these devices can negatively impact your sleep.

✔️*General Understanding*

• Bedroom is a very private place. No guest should be allowed to even sit there. It is observed that a couple gives priority to theri parents or guests to sleep in their bedroom. Sometimes, if the parents or siblings or any other guest is visiting the couple, then one partner will sleep in some other room and the other partner will sleep with the guests in their primary bedroom. Due to this Vastu or the energy of the bedroom starts bringing discord, distance or separation between the couple.

• The fragrance of the couple’s choice should pervade the bedroom. It calms the mind and induces deep sleep.
• If the house has more than one floors, the house owner of the house should stay in the upper most floor. Usually the upper most floor is given to newly married couple which is wrong. This can become autocratic and create discord. In some cases this bedroom can be given to the elder son if the owner of the house cannot stay there.
• Lunch, dinner, breakfast etc. should not be done in the bedroom. This gives an appeal to wastage of money, tribulation and poverty.
• At no time should luggage, clothing, food, drinks, chairs, or anything else be strewn about in the bedroom. Because of this, negative energy gets stagnated in the house and there are adverse results on the life of the people living in that room, such as low income, increase in expenses, rising quarrels and disturbance, if the owner is a businessman, then there is less business, failure in job, deteriorating health or frequent health issues, students not getting gaining good good results even after studying hard, etc.

• The bedroom of the chief of the house should be bigger than that of children. otherwise children will not be obedient and will be arbitrary.
• There should not be a toilet in the bedroom. However, following the current trend, of it has to be made, then it should be made in the North or West part of the bedroom.
• There should be light lighting in the bedroom so that love remains in the family.
