So, here comes some wonderful tips to make this part of your home Vastu friendly.

Location According to Vastu Shastra, peace and harmony reigns only in a properly located bedroom. Ideally, the Master Bedroom should be located in the south-west part of the house with all other bedrooms either in the North or East of it. Master Bedroom should preferably be occupied by the head of the family and a west sided bedroom is considered  best for the kids.

When it comes to the placement of the bed, it is good if you place it in the North. Take care that it does not face the entry door, is clutter free beneath and is not placed under beams. All these things create negative energy and cause mental stress.

Color Scheme Color plays a significant part in determining the peace factor at your home and the case is no different for this part of your house. Vastu advices the use of light colors such as light blue, pink, yellow, light rose and green. Dark shades especially red and black should be avoided.

Avoid television sets, mirrors, almirah and other electrical equipments in your bedroom. If you wish to have a mirror than make sure that it is placed in a way that it does not reflect your image while sleeping or you can just cover it while you sleep.

Lighting Lighting is an important part of the bedroom and Vastu instructs the use of comfortable lights that are neither too dim nor extraordinarily bright. You should place them in a way that they create a relaxing and romantic environment. Putting table lamps at the bedside or in the corner of the rooms is also considered good.
