Vastu for living room

The living room can be in the northeast for a north or east facing house. For a west facing house, the living room can be in the northwest. For a south facing house, one can settle for a southeast living room. Exposed beams in the living room cause discord, friction and difference of opinions among the family members or the guests. Reason being that beam is a load bearing member of the structure. Sitting near or under exposed beam causes stress and load on one’s mind. Important decisions should not be taken while sitting under beam. The beams can be concealed by creating a false ceiling. There can be a light on the beam to dilute the effect. According to feng shui, wind chimes with hollow bamboo pipes at either end of the beam are also said to balance the disturbed elements. Heavy furniture can be set against the south and west walls (and if need against east walls), not touching them. The area between the sets relating to the southwest (strength corner) can have waist level landscaping done with heavy indoor plants and small rocks and stones.
