According to vastu, buying a square or rectangle land parcel would be the best. Avoid buying or renting a house in a building or an apartment which is oddly shaped.
House should be built along the main directions (north, south, east, or west) and not along the sub directions which fall in the corners (northeast, southeast, northwest, or southwest). Slight tilt of up to 15 degrees from cardinal east is accepted.
Main door of your house should be in the northeast, east or north direction. It can be in the W3 or W4 zone of the west direction as it brings happiness and prosperity.
The main door should be bigger than the other doors in the house. It is usually built slightly higher than the rest of the floor to stop outside water or negative energy from entering. A bigger main door also makes it easier to bring in furniture and other large items.
Having balconies in the East direction is better than the ones in south directions especially if you live in a city where summers are very hot.
The center of the house is a very important place. Make sure that there is no construction in the center place or no heavy item is placed in there either.
Lift in the building should not open right Infront of your house main door. This ensures a positive home environment.
Ideal location of toilet in your house is North West direction. If that is not the case, it can be anywhere between south west to north west. Make sure that it is not in the north east direction.
Ideal location to have your pooja room is the north east direction. If in case there is no place in that zone or it is occupied, you can set-up your temple in the east or north direction as well. But, never set it up in south direction.
Ideal location for kitchen is South east. If it is occupied, you can have your kitchen in the north west direction as well. But never built, buy or even rent a house where the kitchen is in the north east direction.
