Work from home Vastu: desk and setup
Work from home Vastu: best corner, desk and facing direction, lighting, and common mistakes to avoid when you set up a home office.
By Aalok Trivedi · Published · Updated
Key takeaways
For a home office, choose a corner in the West, North or East. Sit facing North or East with a solid wall behind you and no beam overhead. Keep the desk off the centre of the home and the North-East clear.
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.
