Children's room Vastu: bed, study corner and colours
Children's room Vastu: best room and zone, bed position, study corner and colours, with simple fixes for common problems.
By Aalok Trivedi · Published · Updated
Key takeaways
A children's room traditionally suits the West or North-West. Keep the bed head toward South or East, set the study corner toward the West or North, and use calm, light colours. Avoid mirrors that face the bed.
A Vastu report is only as good as the North direction and boundary you set on your own plan. For a standard rectangular home or office, the automated grids answer most directional questions honestly; book a consultation when the plot is irregular or the decision is irreversible.
