Kanika Decor sharing some essential Vastu tips for the entrance of a home or building, as per traditional Indian architectural principles:
🧭 1. Ideal Direction for Entrance
- North-East (Ishanya): Most auspicious, brings prosperity and peace.
- North (Uttara) and East (Purva): Also favorable, promotes growth and opportunities.
- Avoid: South-West (Nairutya), South (Dakshina), and North-West (Vayavya) for main entrance unless remedies are applied.
🚪 2. Entrance Door Design Tips
- Door should open clockwise (left to right).
- Single, solid door is preferred (not sliding or folding).
- Avoid doors with damaged or broken parts.
- Wood is the most Vastu-compliant material (teak is ideal).
🌞 3. Lighting and Illumination
- Entrance should be well-lit, especially in the evening.
- Install a bright light or lamp at the main door (consider a yellow or warm white bulb).
🕉️ 4. Sacred Symbols
- Place auspicious symbols like:
- Swastik
- Om (ॐ)
- Trishul
- Lotus or Kalash
- These attract positive energy and ward off negativity.
🧼 5. Cleanliness and Clutter
- Entrance should be clean and clutter-free at all times.
- Avoid keeping dustbins, broken furniture, or shoes directly in front of the main door.
🌳 6. Plants at Entrance
- You can place green plants or Tulsi plant near the door.
- Avoid thorny plants like cactus near the entrance.
🧱 7. Threshold and Step
- A threshold (door sill) prevents wealth from draining out.
- Avoid a door directly opening to a staircase or wall.
🪟 8. Entrance Vs. Other Doors
- The main entrance should be the largest and most prominent door in the house.
- It should not face another person’s main door directly.
❌ Avoid:
- Bathroom/toilet or kitchen doors near the main entrance.
- Mirrors facing the main door (they reflect energy away).
- Dark or dull-colored entrance doors (prefer wood tones, white, light yellow, green, or blue based on direction).
