In many Indian homes, wealth is not just a number in the bank. It’s peace of mind, the freedom to educate your children the way you want, or even the joy of building your dream home with your own hands. And for generations, Vastu Shastra has been used as a guide to create spaces that invite good health and abundance. Whether you’re constructing a new home, renovating it, or even just adjusting your furniture, here are some simple yet powerful Vastu tips to attract wealth and prosperity.
1. Start With the Entrance: Let Energy Flow In
Your main entrance is more than just a way to step inside; it’s from where energy (or prana) flows. As per Vastu, the main door should face north, east, or northeast as these directions welcome the morning sun and positive vibrations. Ensure that-
- The main door opens smoothly and fully.
- The entrance is well-lit and clean – there should be no broken tiles or overgrown plants.
- The dustbin or the shoes are not placed right at the entry.
2. The Kitchen: Where Health Meets Wealth
A cluttered or wrongly placed kitchen can disrupt the financial health of a family. Vastu suggests that the southeast corner is auspicious for kitchen placement as it is the Agni corner. You should-
- Use warm colours like orange or red on the kitchen walls.
- Keep the stove clean and functional – broken burners invite blocked finances.
- Avoid placing the stove and sink side by side. Fire and water don’t mix well.
3. North Zone: The Wealth Corner
In Vastu Shastra, the north direction is considered as the mouth of wealth. Ruled by Kuber, the god of wealth, this direction should –
- Have a mirror or a water element (like a small indoor fountain) here.
- Be clutter-free, devoid of heavy storage and broken items.
- Have a money plant in a green bottle, known to attract abundance.
4. The Locker or Safe: Guard Your Earnings
Where you store your valuables and documents matters. Your locker should be in the southwest wall of the room and open towards the north, symbolising wealth moving in, not out.
Ensure the safe is strong and always organised. Storing unnecessary or unused items here is believed to drain wealth slowly.
5. Colours that Cultivate Wealth Energy
Colours are subtle influencers. According to Vastu:
- Shades of green promote growth and new opportunities.
- Purple and violet attract higher wealth vibrations.
- Avoid too much black or dull brown in wealth areas — they tend to absorb energy.
You can use these in your decor, cushions, artwork, or even wall paint. (JK Cement’s white cement products provide a great base if you’re experimenting with lighter hues.)
6. Bathrooms & Leaks: Wealth Drainers
In many homes, a dripping tap or a leaky flush are common problems that we tend to overlook or take lightly. But in Vastu, leaks signify money draining out. To keep abundance flowing in ensure that-
- Any plumbing issues are fixed immediately.
- The bathroom doors are kept closed when not in use.
- The bathrooms should not be placed in the north or northeast of the house.
