Compare flats for Vastu: which floor plan is better?
1. **Add up to three plans.** Use the builder's plan of your exact unit for each flat.
By Aalok Trivedi · Published · Updated
How the comparison works
1. **Add up to three plans.** Use the builder's plan of your exact unit for each flat.
2. **Set North for each plan.** Use the Vastu compass if you are not sure.
3. **Read the comparison.** We analyse each plan and line up the same five checks.
- Card states: **Add plan** · **Analysing…** · **Ready** with a gauge
- Highlight chip on the strongest plan: **Best match on these five checks**
- Delete and replace buttons on each card
The five checks we compare
Each cell shows a chip: **Favourable · Acceptable · Needs attention**.
| Check | What we look at | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance | Zone of the main door | It sets the first reading of the home. |
| Master bedroom | Zone of the main bedroom | Traditionally the South-West suits the main sleeping room. |
| Kitchen | Zone of the kitchen and stove side | South-East is preferred; the North-East is the main conflict. |
| Toilets | Zones of all toilets | The North-East and the centre are traditionally avoided. |
| Centre | What sits at the centre of the plan | A toilet, stair or heavy load at the centre weakens the plan. |
Sample: three 2BHK options
| Check | Flat A | Flat B | Flat C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance | North-East · Favourable | East · Favourable | South-West · Needs attention |
| Master bedroom | South-West · Favourable | North-West · Acceptable | South-East · Needs attention |
| Kitchen | South-East · Favourable | North-East · Needs attention | North-West · Acceptable |
| Toilets | North-West · Favourable | Centre · Needs attention | North-West · Favourable |
| Centre | Open · Favourable | Passage · Acceptable | Open · Favourable |
How to choose between flats on Vastu
- **Start with what you cannot change:** the entrance and the position of toilets and kitchen stacks.
- **Then check what you can change:** bed position, furniture, colours, room use.
- **Count 'Needs attention' cells,** but weigh the entrance, kitchen and toilets more than the rest.
- **Do not choose on Vastu alone.** Compare light, ventilation, price, location and the builder.
- **For a close call,** share the comparison with a consultant.
