If you are giving your best and despite that, you are facing instability or lack of inner peace, the answer can be found in the 6000 years old science of Vaastu Shastra. The placement of furniture like almirah can affect the energy at home. Moreover, we have this thought in our minds, almirahs or Storage Cupboards take up a lot of space and if not placed to align with home decor, it may not give an impressive look to your bedroom interiors. Therefore, it is vital to find out all the possibilities before you place your almirah in your home.

Vaastu Shastra, home decor or availability of space; if you can align all, nothing would be better, but it is advisable you look for a place that is favourable as per Vaastu, as a wrong placement may bring negative energies to your house. 

Vaastu Shastra is a traditional Indian school of architecture and it gives guidelines about every aspect of your home from design, and layout geometry to even ground preparation. The fundamentals of this science revolve around cosmic energies, solar and celestial bodies included.

Directions according to Vastu Shastra

As per Vaastu Shastra, the south-west direction is the most appropriate place for your almirah, in a way so that it can open in the north or east of the room. The southwest direction, it is believed, brings wealth and property, as well as enhances the peace of the family.

As per Vaastu Shastra, you should also bear the following things in mind when placing the almirah:

• You can place the almirah in the north direction as well, in case it is the cash almirah tijorir since the north is the direction of Lord Kuber, the god of wealth and prosperity. 
• Do not place the cash almirah in the northeast which can lead to more and more expenses.
• Make sure there is no mirror on the almirah facing southwest ‌and it has subtle colours such as cream or light shades. An almirah with a mirror if kept in this direction may attract negative energies and stop the flow of positive energies into your house, as mirrors should always be placed either on the Northern wall or Eastern wall for positive energies. 
• Do not opt for almirah made up of stones or marble. Though they may look attractive at first, they are not suitable for your home. You can always go for iron or wood almirah, wood is excellent when it comes to negative energies.
• Colour plays an important role here. Neural and earthy shades radiate positivity in the room and bring good vibes. So, you should go with colours such as white, beige, and cream in your almirah.
• “Brahmsthan“ which is called the centre of the home, should not be occupied by almirahs.
• For Bedroom almirah :
  • Mirrors must be avoided.
  • Avoid dark-coloured almirah.
  • Should open in the east or south direction.
• You must always keep almirah clean, otherwise, it can lead to Vaastu dosh which can be detrimental to the relationships between people.

Other things to keep in mind as per Vastu Shastra.

Not only the bedroom, you should take care of the other aspects of your home as well to ensure overall stability. Some of them are:

• The main door of the house should be north-facing so that when you step out of your house, you face the north direction. The main door of the house should be bigger than the rest of the doors of the house and should be made of superior-quality wood.
• You should designate a room for meditation or spiritual prayers in the house, it will enhance the overall spirituality at your place.
• Keep your living room clutter-free. Make sure it is preferably northeast-facing. Just in case you do not find a northeast facing option, a northwest-facing facing will do as well.
• The master bedroom should be in the south-west corner of the house. This direction of the master bedroom brings health and prosperity.
• Do not place the television in front of your bed or sleeping space. It can lead to disruptions.

With sincere attention to detail and small efforts on your part, you can turn your place around – make a home out of a house and see the results for yourself.
