Key takeaways
A study room traditionally suits the West, North or East. Sit facing East or North, keep the desk against a solid wall with no beam above, and bring light from the North or East.
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.
