Placement tips
Place heavy sofas and furniture in the South or West portion of the living room, leaving the North and East lighter and more open.
Hang auspicious paintings like a sunrise, flowing river, or lush landscape on the North or East walls.
Keep the center of the living room (Brahmasthana) open and free of furniture or heavy decor.
Introduce indoor plants like money plant or bamboo in the North-East or East corner to attract positive energy.
Do
Allow maximum natural light to enter from the East and North windows or doors.
Use light, warm colors like white, cream, light yellow, or light green for the living room walls.
Place the television on the South-East wall so occupants face North or East while watching.
Avoid
Avoid hanging images of war, violence, weeping figures, or cactus plants in the living room.
Never place the main sofa against the East or North wall, as this blocks positive energy entering from these directions.
Do not keep dead plants, broken objects, or non-functional clocks in the living room.
