It is an interface where you socialize with outside people, such as guests, friends and distant relatives. It’s also a place where you share private time with your family doing activities, such as, watching TV, family discussions and anything and everything that you and your family love to do together.

At our residence the maximum time has to be spent only in our "bed room" the next high time spent at "living room". We should take care of this living room in our home. We should not neglect on this living room. The vastu for Living Room has a set of basic rules which when followed can let you and your family have a problem free-living in the Living Room. Always better to place the sitting or living room only at Northeast corner of the house, sometimes when the house is west facing or South facing then the living room construction at Northeast corner may not be possible, in those cases follow some tricks to get good results.

The owner of the house has to sit at Southwest part of this living room and has to face towards East or North directions only. The other family members has to sit facing towards East or West, the outsiders has to sit in front of the owner, their faces may be towards West or South. This is the ideal place of sitting in living room. No need to worry regarding South or West facing homes, there is also a great opportunity to have living room towards Northeast, if you wish then it became true, if you are not taken care of your property nobody can take care of it. If you have more interest then automatically everybody can gathered and amend many things there, finally it became luck to your family.

At East face house or North face house, there is one good quality point in this living room as the members of the house or owner of the house has to sit at living room (here the living room should placed at Northeast / Eshan / Ishan corner of the house only), then the good vibrations from Eshan (Northeast) corner has spread and will get the same vibrations from East side and (matter came from North sides, these vibrations are more effective to the family members of the house. Many inhabitants are doing a great mistake that they them self doing the corrections by reading some vastu books or vastu websites and start doing corrections to their property, this is not at all recommended, its best to approach only one expert vastu specialist to get right suggestions.

The owner of the house has to sit towards Nairuthi (Southwest-west) facing towards East, if fails the next best option is Southwest-south facing towards North, you may put this lengthy sofa towards West side, and transfer the sofa chairs towards South side, the owner has to occupy at the Nairuthi (southwest) corner placement always. The guests occupy the remaining chairs. Or bread winner has to occupy the chair which was at Southwest and others may sits at South etc. If an expert vastu consultant has visited your property then you will get most important alteration suggestions by him.

You can put telephone at South or at West side walls so that you can easily handle the phone. If the living room is at Eshan (Northeast corner) the flooring of the living room is lower than the entire house, it may provides very good effects to the entire family. Most of the houses the front room may be the living room, and most of the living rooms are wide and larger than all the rooms at house, well here vastu works in a hidden method, if at one East facing house there might be living room is the front room, its correct method and giving good results to the residents. In some homes the starting room may be keeping waste materials and after that only living room came. This may not be the wrong, but we should not keep waste materials at first room, this is purely a mistake. Instead of keeping the waste materials in the first room you may plan a store room and keep them all in that store room.

North facing house residents also receives good results by putting living room at front side i.e., living room is at Northeast part. But where as it should not happen at West side facing houses and South side facing houses. Here the residents must take most precautionary methods by setting the living room as the first room where is at before the entrance. Don’t construct the living room as front room at west side houses and South side houses, if you want to construct the living room at front side then consult a good vastu practitioner for best suggestions. What our meaning is if you are planning to make the first room as  living room for South and West facing homes, then the Southwest part may be the living room and after that the other rooms are occupying, if so what about your bedrooms, you are well known that Southwest is the best part for the Bedroom. If you have two storey building then you may happily plan living room at starting of the house. No need to worry at all then.

You can keep number of doors to the living room, but all the doors should be at correct places as per vastu shastra principles. You are aware that “doors” plays a very important role at house as per vastu shastra. Once again remember living room got 2nd rank at house after Bedroom as per vastu, in general, living room got 1st rank as per our living style.

Be careful while you sitting at the living room for discussions about different category business deal. As you are owner of the house, you have to sit at the chair or sofa set, your face should be towards East or North, and guests, partners should sit and their face should be towards South or West, this type of sitting may leads victory on your discussions.

In case the house is West facing or South facing, here the living room may be at eshan (Northeast) corner but we cannot entertain everybody to welcome them to sit at living room, because it may be disturbance to our family members, then consult one vastu expert, get advise from him and enjoy.

Place air cooler and air conditioner in West, North-West or East and not in South-East. You can hang portraits of Gods or some beautiful paintings in the North-East wall or corner. Do not hang any portrait depicting negative energy e.g. war, crime, weeping etc in the living area (actually avoid them anywhere in a home). Use white, light yellow, blue or green colors for living room walls. Avoid red or black for living area wall colors. Keep square or rectangular furniture in living area and avoid circular, oval or any other shape of furniture (this is applicable to furniture in entire home). Provide a staircase in the South, West or South-West corner of living area. Put light curtains on North-East windows and doors and heavy curtains in South-West (this is applicable anywhere in a home) of living area. Keep North-East corner of living area clean and empty if possible. Also, to make things better, keep some healthy plants in this corner. Never keep artificial flowers, dried flowers (they attract misfortune), cactus/cacti or bonsai plants (have negative influence on finance and career) and are inauspicious. Hang a chandelier in South or West of living area; do not hang anything in center.

Keep a fish aquarium in the East, North or North-East of the living area. In vastu shastra, a fish aquarium is considered a very powerful tool – so powerful that it acts a remedy for many vastu defects but, you must use fish aquarium as per the rules and guidelines of vastu; else it may ruin all the happiness in your home. If there is an error in the North-West corner then placing an aquarium will drop that issue. Never keep an aquarium in South as draws all positive energy out of home. You can place a water fountain in North.

Finally the most important and repeated point is that you have to build the living room according to vastu shastra to lead a joyful, successful life, don't give importance to the vastu consultant fees, but better to consult only an experienced vastu consultant, otherwise you may be the victim of quacks. Usually the quacks are searching for the people, who are in need of or searching support from vastu adviser (vastu consultant). Try to find out an expert vastu specialist and show all of your properties and live peacefully. Play music continuously at this room, this is also one of the good idea. Negative powers don't like instrumental music. So switch on instrumental music.
