In every home, the living room is a place for gathering. Whether you are entertaining guests or spending time with the family, the living area is the chosen spot in the house for getting together. It needs to be well-decorated as well as comfortable, so that the ambiance is conducive for pleasant conversations. It’s important that the room should be filled with positive energy, so that family members and guests feel relaxed.
Believe it or not, Vastu Shastra can help to bring some positive changes to your living space to make it a great place for socializing.
* The best place for the television in a living room is in the southeast corner. Avoid fixing it on the northwestern wall as this will result in the family wasting too much time on watching television instead of talking to each other.
* When it’s time to choose furniture, pick square or rectangular pieces instead or circular ones. A modular sofa unit works well. Choose square or rectangular shapes for your coffee table and side tables. Recliners are a great option for living rooms as they encourage relaxation.
* If your living room windows face the north or east from where the morning sun comes in, hang light or sheer curtains, and for windows in the south or west, use heavy drapes. You can either have a single type of curtain or use a combination of light and thick curtains.
* Keep the northeast corner of your living room empty and clean always as this is an area that attracts the maximum good fortune. Decorate the area with plants, but ensure that they are well cared for and healthy.
* A chandelier is a common feature in most Indian homes. Doubtless that it adds beauty to the area. However, make sure that it is not placed in the centre of the room. Instead, hang it in the south or west side of the room.
