Best entrance position
The middle padas of the north side — Mukhya, Bhallat and Soma — are the most favourable. Avoid placing the door in the extreme north-west corner.
Layout tips
- Keep the north side open, with a garden, lawn or open space in front.
- Master bedroom in the south-west.
- Kitchen in the south-east.
- Pooja room in the north-east.
- Avoid tall trees and heavy structures in the north.
Colours and décor
Green and light blue suit the north. A small water feature or aquarium in the north or north-east supports the flow of wealth.
Common mistakes
- Placing a toilet or staircase in the north
- Blocking the north with heavy furniture or clutter
- Building a higher wall in the north than in the south
When these mistakes are avoided, a north-facing house can be one of the best choices for families and professionals alike.
