Looking to get your interiors done?
1. Light It Up, Buttercup!
Fire has been a symbol of positivity and purification for centuries, and it’s one of the simplest ways to bring good vibes into your home. Light earthen lamps or candles, and choose a scent you love—think sandalwood or jasmine. The soft glow and pleasant fragrance work wonders to cleanse the air and your spirit. Plus, it’s just super cozy.

2. Name Drop Like a Boss
Who knew that hanging a nameplate could be a major Vastu win? According to Vastu, putting your name outside your house helps good vibes find your address more easily. So if you haven’t done it yet, it’s time to get your name out there—literally.
3. Clean House, Clean Vibes
This might sound like a no-brainer, but keeping your home clean—especially the doors and windows—is a Vastu essential. Dust and dirt don’t just block out sunlight; they can block positive energy too. So, crack those windows open and let the good vibes roll in.
4. Fish Are Friends and Vastu Gurus
If you’ve been thinking about getting a pet, an aquarium might be the way to go. Placed in the north or east corner of your living room, a fish tank isn’t just a cute home accessory—it’s a Vastu powerhouse. The water represents life, and the constant movement brings in positive energy. Plus, watching the fish swim around is an instant stress-buster.
5. When Life Gives You Lemons, Use Them for Vastu
A glass of lemon water isn’t just refreshing—it’s a powerful tool for clearing out negative energy. Place half a glass of lemon water in your living room and remember to change it every Saturday. It’s believed to calm the mind and reduce tension among family members.
6. Sprinkle Some Salt on It
If lemon water isn’t your thing, try salt instead. A small bowl of salt in any corner of your home can help absorb negative energy. Just be sure to change it regularly to keep those vibes fresh.

7. Meds and Meals Don’t Mix
Here’s a weird one: storing medicines in your kitchen is a Vastu no-no. The kitchen represents health and vitality, while medicines can symbolize illness. To keep your home’s energy in balance, move those meds to a different spot.
8. Mirror, Mirror, Not in the Bedroom
Mirrors in the bedroom can be a bit tricky. While they’re great for checking your outfit, they can also reflect negative energy, especially if they reflect your body while you’re sleeping. If you’ve got a mirror in your bedroom, cover it up at night to keep the good vibes intact.
9. Ring My Bell
Bells aren’t just for Christmas—hanging metal bells at your doorstep can invite happiness and peace into your home. The gentle sound of the bells is said to break negative energy and keep the atmosphere light and joyful.
10. Tulsi: The Holy Grail of Houseplants
If you’re looking for a plant that does more than just sit pretty, go for Tulsi. Known as the queen of herbs, Tulsi is the ultimate Vastu plant. Place it in the front or back of your house to purify the air and invite positive energy into your home.
