Feng Shui Showpiece Theme for Positive Energy - Beautiful Homes

Adorn your homes with these beautiful Vastu showpieces that attract positive energies and promote well-being

The ancient philosophy of Vastu Shastra is quite an esoteric one which is why we look to experts and teachers to help guide us on how to incorporate it best within our homes and work places. Vastu Shastra simply translated means ‘science of architecture or dwelling’. The ancient texts include guidelines for construction of various structures so that the final output is in harmony with nature. Vastu looks to design the best layout for a dwelling and organise space and form of built rooms based on their purpose, usage and relation to each other. Harmony is said to be achieved by managing the flow of cosmic energy through buildings – whether home or work spaces – with the aim of promoting well-being, peace and prosperity.

 

However, the concepts of Vastu do not only apply to architecture, they are equally important in interior design as well. The guidelines of Vastu play a key role in interiors from the arrangement of products to positive energy Vastu items for home. These Vastu decorative items and Vastu home décor tips are said to have a positive impact on the well-being of the residents.  While you may not be able to completely incorporate all the Vastu décor, there are definitely a few changes you can easily make. Read on to explore our list Vastu items for good health, well-being and prosperity that can easily be added to any home.

Vastu Items for Home Entrance

According to Vastu, the home entrance is the conduit for the entry and exit of positive and negative energies. Avoid placing any bins or garbage disposal near the main door. Here are a few Vastu decoration for home entrance:

Vastu suggests adorning the front door with religious symbols, pictures and rangoli designs. It also suggests decorating your main entrance with torans or flower garlands to ward off negative energies and welcome positive ones.

2. Vastu Decorative Items #2: Water Bowls

On the recommended vastu items list for the entrance are decorative water bowls. Also called urli or uruli, the large bowl is available in a host of materials though brass is most commonly used. You can choose a simple one or one with carvings. These bowls are filled with water with flowers or floating candles added as a decorative element. Water symbolises wealth and prosperity, so having a water feature or flowing water at the entrance invites them into the home.

1. Vastu Decorative Items #1: Artwork and Paintings

Artwork depicting seven running horses is auspicious but be careful to choose the right direction of their movement. Other recommended themes include nature-inspired images like calming landscapes, a sunrise, flowing water bodies and mountains for the living room.  Plants and flowers are themes but avoid those with thorns. Also stay clear of themes that evoke sadness or depict devastation. According to Vastu items for home, try avoiding abstract paintings.

Dining Room and Dining Table Vastu Interior Décor

The dining room, where family and friends gather for meals, should be well lit and the dining table design should be free from unnecessary clutter. It is favourable to place mirrors in the dining room according to Vastu, especially a large one in front of the dining table to symbolise abundance. Place fresh flowers in the centre of the dining table to absorb negative energies. Square or rectangular tables are favourable while Vastu cautions against round, oval or irregular shapes.

Vastu Decorative Items for Bedroom

While mirrors are great for dining rooms, do not place a mirror in the bedroom, especially on the wall facing the bed. Additionally, as the bedroom is a place for rest and relaxation, avoid electronics like the television that can disrupt your sleep. A swan pair showpiece vastu item or even artwork depicting a pair of swans is considered auspicious as they symbolise unity and love and are ideally placed in the bedroom.

Place metal ones in a west, north or northwest zone and wood ones in an east, south or southeast direction. Wind chimes made with clay or porcelain are best suited in the southwest, northeast and centre of a home. Also consider hanging bells for pooja room vastu decorative item.

2. Different Buddha Vastu Showpieces and Where to Place Them

The different poses of the Buddha statues signify different meanings. The pose where Buddha is seated with one hand raised in a blessing is best suited facing the entrance or at the entrance of the home. The reclining or sleeping Buddha should face west while the meditating Buddha should be place in the pooja room. The Bhumisparsha Buddha showcases the mudra formed with all five fingers of the right hand extended to touch the ground should face east where the sun rises. If you are placing a Buddha statue outdoors, put it in or near a water feature or flowering plant.
