It's the entrance of the house that has got the highest importance in vastu shastra and West facing home is not an exception. Divide house North-West (NW) corner to the South-West (SW) corner in 9 equal parts; each part is called as pada (or step) in vastu shastra. The NW pada is 1st and the SW pada is 9th. The main door of the home can be located in any of the four padas 3, 4, 5 and 6 are the ones that are best suited to locate the entrance of a West facing house. The entrance of a West facing house can also be located in padas 1 and 2 (only if there’s no option to use 3, 4, 5 and 6 padas); this entrance may not give very good results but will not give bad results either. Padas 7, 8 and 9 are the ones that are prohibited.

West Facing House must avoid entrance in 7th, 8th and 9th pada of West side. Never locate a bore-well or water pump in SW of the house. Never buy a plot or flat having extension in South or SW. Avoid a plot that’s higher in North than South and never have a kitchen in SW of the house.

Locate the entrance in 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th pada in West. You can also use 1st and 2nd padas if you want. The walls of the house in South and West must be thicker and higher than East and North. Place the kitchen in South East or North West of the house; South East is better. Master bedroom in South West is the best; if the house has multiple floors then locate the master bedroom at the highest floor. Living room and Pooja room in North East of the house is very auspicious. Kid’s room can be in South, West or North-West. A guest bedroom can be placed in North-West. A plot that slopes from South to North is considered auspicious.
