In one survey it has been marked that over 78% of People consider vastu while constructing house or modifying house but rest of the crowd create vastu dosha that can disrupt the flow of positive energy. Today we will reveal the most common vastu defects being made by people and will also suggest the remedies to settle the defects and restore the balance and harmony into your living space:
Defects: The first defect is the entrance of the house. Keeping the entrance clutter and open shoe rack. Using different designer items to decorate the door without knowing the defects they may create problems in their life.
Solution: Entry is the place from where positive energies enter into the house, keep it neat and clean. Don’t use too many decorative items at the entry; it may create a messy appearance that can block energies. Always prefer to have house entry in a positive direction like North, East, West
and South. There are some myths regarding southern entry. Better to consult with an expert.
Defects: People used to place mandir in any direction and of heavy material. Also place multiple idols of single god and big in size. Most of the people place Ganesh ji or Panchamukhi Hanuman ji at the entrance.
Solution: Always prefer to have mandir in NE direction or if this direction is not in favour than place it in East direction. Never place multiple idols of the same god and make sure it must be 2-3 feet in height. Avoid placing idols at entrance. Keep this area neat and clean.
 Defects: People don’t follow the directions to construct houses. Many people keep storage in the washroom and also don’t close the lid of the toilet when it is not in use. Use the same sleeper in the washroom and all over the house that spreads negativity.
Solution: Always keep the toilet neat and clean. Don’t use it as storage and keep it dry. Close the lid of the toilet and washroom door when it is not in use. Always ensure the washroom should be in the ESE, WNW, SSW direction. Use a separate sleeper for the washroom and you can keep sea salt in a bowl with alum, it will absorb negativity. But keep this salt changing every 15 days.
Defects: These are major defects we absorb nowadays. People used to keep furniture of different metals and of different colours. They also prefer irregular shaped furniture. Furniture totally covers the area by touching the floor. It doesn’t allow geo thermal energy to move into space. It creates a lack of focus and creates confusion.
Solution: Always use furniture of regular shape and of wooden material. All furniture must have legs. If possible, prefer to have all furniture towards the South and West direction of the house.
Defects: Placing bed, study table, mandir, locker etc, under beam.
Solution: Avoid placing these under beam. It may create heaviness, lack
of focus and may create obstacles in career. It also can create health issues.
Defects: People were using mirrors in many decorative items. And also place a mirror in front of the bed and use it on the bedhead. It may create many health issues.
Solution: Mirror is a water element as it reflects things as water. The right direction of placing the mirror is North. Avoid using mirrors in the interior of the house in every direction.
Defects: Major defects that many of us do while choosing colour for a house. Using Dark colour and making the whole house colourful as a rainbow. Don’t have knowledge regarding colours how it can affect our environment.
Solution: Avoid dark colour. Use light shades and according to directions. If it is not possible then use universal colours like off-white, white, cream, beige. Or you can highlight one wall in every room according to the direction.
