Vastu placement
Which wall are you filling?
Tap a direction to see what belongs there.
North — Uttara
Guardian Kubera · Element Water · Flow and prosperity
In Vastu tradition the north is Kubera's quarter, associated with flow and the keeping of what one has. A north wall suits a piece that feels open and moving rather than heavy. Living rooms and entrances often turn this way.
North-East — Ishanya
Guardian Shiva · Element Water · Stillness and prayer
Ishanya is held to be the most sacred corner of a home, kept light, clean and quiet. Tradition places prayer and meditation here. Choose work that asks for stillness and rewards a long look.
East — Purva
Guardian Indra / Surya · Element Air · Clarity and beginnings
The east receives the first light, and tradition reads it as the direction of beginnings and clear thinking. It suits a study, a desk wall, or wherever the day starts. Pieces with a bright, open centre sit naturally here.
South-East — Agneya
Guardian Agni · Element Fire · Warmth and transformation
Agneya is the fire corner, traditionally the kitchen's place. It carries warmth, appetite and change. Work with movement and energy belongs here, in a spot that catches attention rather than one that invites rest.
South — Dakshina
Guardian Yama · Element Earth · Structure and resolve
The south is read as steady and disciplined in Vastu tradition, a direction of resolve. It suits pieces with strong structure and a firm outline. A south wall can carry visual weight that would crowd a lighter room.
South-West — Nairutya
Guardian Nairuti · Element Earth · Weight and steadiness
Nairutya is traditionally the heaviest corner of a home, the one that anchors the rest. Bedrooms and stores are often placed here. Grounded, protective compositions feel at home on a south-west wall.
West — Paschima
Guardian Varuna · Element Water · Rest and completion
The west holds the setting sun and, in tradition, the sense of a day drawing to a close. It suits the rooms a household settles into in the evening. Calm, flowing work belongs here more than anything restless.
North-West — Vayavya
Guardian Vayu · Element Air · Movement and welcome
Vayavya is the corner of wind and movement, traditionally given to guests and to things that come and go. Entrance halls and guest rooms often face this way. Choose pieces that feel welcoming and light.
Centre — Brahmasthana
Guardian Brahma · Element Space · Openness, kept clear
The Brahmasthana is the open heart of a home, and tradition holds that it should stay uncrowded. Nothing is recommended for hanging here. Let the walls around it carry the work and keep the centre clear.
