Vastu for West Facing House

  • Most people tend to think that only north facing homes can bring prosperity and wealth therefore are good for constructing homes, but in reality it is not so. West facing houses can also bring you a lot of luck if you construct them in an appropriate manner following all the Vastu guidelines.
  • If you are constructing west facing homes then a very important thing that you need to keep in mind is that the house level should always be kept a little higher. The higher level would ensure a lot of wealth to the inmates. The western side of such homes should always be higher than the eastern portions.
  • In general it is seen that west facing homes are the most appropriate for people who are in professions like teaching, politics, religion of corporate businesses.
  • The road that is in the front of your west facing home should always be higher than the plot but not higher than the entire building. The floor level of rooms, kitchen and bathroom should be appropriate.
  • The amount of open space that you leave in front of west facing homes should be kept to the minimum level. Such homes can also be constructed next to the roads. If you want to provide open space then it should be maintained in the back portion of the house.
  • You will see that in the west facing homes, the construction of gates in the North West direction is considered to be the most beneficial for the inhabitants of the house. If you want then the gate can also be constructed in the northern portion of the house.
  • You will see that in Vastu, different levels of the house are considered to be very important. The ground floor, the terrace level and the first level are important and the guidelines regarding the different levels should be considered.
  • Another important thing to keep in is that the wall in front of the house should always be constructed higher that the wall of your backyard.
  • The water storage system should never be located in the front portion of your home. You can construct it is the eastern or northern portion in the backside of your house.
  • There should be some type of construction in the south west portion of the house and it should never be left open. If you have constructed the garage in this area then it should never touch the kitchen or the living room of the main building.
  • The bathroom and toilets can be placed in the south west or north east portion of your home. The water taps should be placed in the west direction.
  • The bedroom should always be located in the south west portion of the home. The placement of bed should never be in the middle of the room and one should only sleep with head towards the north direction.
  • The placement of the kitchen should be in the south eastern direction and the stairways can be constructed south west, west or southern direction.

So, carefully consider these points before you construct your home in the west direction.
