Upload floor planFrequently asked questions
Which room matters most in Vastu?
The main entrance, the kitchen, the master bedroom and the toilets, in roughly that order.
Do all rooms have to be in their best zone?
No. Few homes do. Aim for the kitchen, master bedroom and toilets first.
How do I know which zone a room is in?
Measure from the centre of the home, not the room. A floor plan check does it for you.
