Which direction should we sleep as per vastu?

Sleep with your head pointing south; this is the best direction per vastu and is also supported by science (alignment with Earth's magnetic field). East is the second best option.

Is it bad to have a mirror facing the bed?

Yes, a mirror reflecting the bed is one of the most common vastu doshas in bedrooms. It disturbs sleep and can create relationship problems. Either move the mirror or cover it at night.

Which corner is best for master bedroom?

The South-West corner of the house is the best position for the master bedroom. It provides stability, deep sleep, and supports the head of household's authority.

Can we keep TV in bedroom as per vastu?

It's better avoided, but if necessary, place the TV on the north or east wall, and cover it with a cloth when not in use so the dark screen doesn't act as a mirror.

What colour is best for bedroom as per vastu?

Soft pink, peach, cream, beige, and light green are the best vastu colours for master bedrooms. These shades create warmth, stability, and relaxation without overstimulating the senses.

Your bedroom is where you spend nearly a third of your life. According to Vastu Shastra, the direction, placement, and energy of your bedroom directly affects your sleep quality, health, relationships, and mental peace. Getting bedroom vastu right is one of the highest-impact changes you can make in your home.

Best Direction for Bedroom as Per Vastu

Master Bedroom: South-West is King

The South-West corner is the undisputed best location for the master bedroom. This zone is governed by the earth element, providing stability, grounding, and strength. The head of the household sleeping in the SW zone gains authority, financial stability, and deep rest.

Why South-West Works

✓Earth element = stability and longevity
✓Heavy SW zone = strong foundation for the family
✓Rahu and Saturn energies become supportive rather than disruptive

Other Acceptable Bedroom Directions

•South: Good for the master bedroom — promotes deep sleep
•West: Acceptable for children or guest bedrooms
•North-West: Suitable for unmarried children or guests; creates movement, not ideal for long-term stability

Directions to Avoid for Bedrooms

✗North-East: The most sacred zone; using it as a bedroom brings health problems and suppresses positive energy
✗South-East: Fire zone; creates anger, arguments, and sleep disturbances
✗Brahmasthan (center): Never use the center of the house as a bedroom

Bed Placement Vastu Rules

Head Direction While Sleeping

Head Direction	Effect
South ✅	Best: deep sleep, health, longevity
East ✅	Good: clarity, positive dreams, spirituality
West ⚠️	Neutral: acceptable, may cause vivid dreams
North ❌	Avoid strictly: disrupts magnetic field, causes health issues

The science behind it: Earth's magnetic field runs from South to North. When your head points north, your body's iron-rich blood is pulled toward the brain, causing disturbed sleep and long-term health problems. This is one vastu rule that has scientific backing.

Bed Position in the Room

•Place the bed so you have a solid wall behind your head — never sleep with your head toward a window or door
•Keep equal space on both sides of the bed for couples; asymmetric space creates power imbalance in the relationship
•The bed should not face the bedroom door directly; this "coffin position" is inauspicious in both vastu and feng shui
•Maintain at least 3–4 inches of gap between the bed and the wall — energy should circulate freely

What to Keep Under the Bed

•Nothing heavy or sharp — avoid storing old files, weapons, or broken items
•Ideally keep nothing, or only light linens
•Never store shoes, religious items, or electronics under the bed

Vastu Colours for Bedroom

Colour directly affects the room's energy field. Here are the best vastu colours by bedroom type:

Master Bedroom

Soft Pink / Peach

Romance & warmth

Cream / Beige

Stability & grounding

Light Green

Healing & freshness

Lavender

Relaxation & calm

Avoid in Master Bedroom

✗Red: too activating, increases aggression
✗Black: heavy, depressing energy
✗Bright white: too sterile, creates emotional coldness

Children's Bedroom

✓Light yellow or lime green: creativity and learning
✓Sky blue: calm and focus
✓Orange accents: enthusiasm and energy

Mirror Vastu in Bedroom

Mirrors are one of the most commonly misused elements in bedrooms.

⚠️ Golden rule: Mirrors should NOT reflect the bed.

When a mirror reflects the sleeping body, it energetically "doubles" the occupant, causing restlessness, disturbed sleep, and in couples, the risk of third-party interference in relationships.

Mirror Placement Rules

✓Place mirrors on the north or east walls of the bedroom
✓A mirror inside the wardrobe door (not facing the bed when closed) is acceptable
✓Dressing table mirrors should be covered with a cloth at night if they reflect the bed
✗Avoid: mirrors on the south wall, ceiling mirrors, and mirrors directly opposite the bedroom door

Other Bedroom Vastu Tips

Electronics

•Keep mobile phones, tablets, and laptops away from the bed; their electromagnetic fields disrupt sleep
•Television in bedroom: ideally avoid, but if you must have one, place it on the north or east wall and cover it with a cloth when sleeping

Plants

✗Avoid large plants in the bedroom; they release CO2 at night
✓Small money plant or snake plant on the east windowsill is acceptable
✗Thorny plants (cactus) should strictly be avoided in the bedroom

Bed Sheet Colours

✓White or off-white — purity and peace
✓Pastel shades — harmony
✗Avoid black, dark grey, or deep red bedsheets

Clutter

Clutter is the biggest vastu dosha in bedrooms, it stagnates energy and causes mental stress. Keep the south-west corner organized and clutter-free.

Vastu Remedies for Bedroom Problems

Problem	Remedy
Bedroom in South-East	Use blue/green calming colours, avoid red completely, place a large water painting on south wall
Bedroom in North-East	This is serious; move to another room if possible. Use Camphor and sea salt to purify energy
Door facing bed	Place a screen or curtain to break the direct line of sight
Mirror facing bed	Cover with cloth at night, or reposition
Sleeping with head north	Immediately change to south or east; this is the single highest-impact bedroom vastu fix

How Your Birth Chart Affects Bedroom Vastu

Your personal Kundli can fine-tune bedroom vastu further:

•Moon sign determines your emotional sensitivity to directional energies
•If Venus is weak in your chart, specific bedroom colours and directions can strengthen it, improving relationships
•The 7th house (relationships) in your chart correlates directly with bedroom energy
•Your current planetary dasha can create temporary bedroom vastu effects

At MyVastuScore, we combine your Vedic birth chart with your home's actual layout to give you bedroom-specific recommendations tailored to YOU, not generic advice.
