🏪 Vastu for Commercial Spaces: Make Your Business Thrive!
The Magic River of Energy
Imagine your shop or office is like a river. Energy (good vibes!) flows through it like water. If the water flows smoothly, fish are happy and plants grow. If something blocks it, the water gets dirty and nothing grows well.
Vastu helps you keep this energy river clean and flowing perfectly!
🚪 Shop Entrance Placement
Where Should Your Shop Door Be?
Think of your shop entrance as the mouth of your business. Just like you need a clean, open mouth to eat good food, your shop needs a good entrance to “eat” good customers!
graph TD A["🧭 Best Directions"] --> B["North ⬆️"] A --> C["East ➡️"] A --> D["North-East ↗️"] B --> E["💰 Attracts Money"] C --> F["☀️ Morning Energy"] D --> G["✨ Most Auspicious"]
🌟 Best Entrance Directions
| Direction | Why It’s Good |
|---|---|
| North | Money flows in (like the North Star guiding ships to treasure!) |
| East | Sun rises here - brings fresh, positive energy |
| North-East | Best of both! Double the good luck |
❌ Directions to Avoid
- South-West: Energy “leaks out” like water from a broken bucket
- South: Can bring challenges and obstacles
Simple Example:
Ravi’s cloth shop faced South. Customers came but rarely bought anything. He moved to a new shop facing North-East. Now customers not only come but also buy happily!
🛎️ Reception Area Placement
Your Business’s Welcoming Smile
The reception is like your shop’s friendly smile. When someone enters, where should they see this smile first?
Perfect Reception Spots
graph TD A["Reception Area"] --> B["North-East Corner"] A --> C["East Wall"] A --> D["North Wall"] B --> E["✨ Best Choice!"] C --> F["👍 Good Option"] D --> F
Golden Rule: Place reception in North-East, East, or North
🪑 Receptionist Should Face
- East or North - Like facing the sunrise, they’ll feel energetic all day!
- Never face South or West - it’s like turning your back to good opportunities
Simple Example:
In a dental clinic, the receptionist sat facing West. Patients felt the staff was cold and unfriendly. After moving her desk to face North, patients started feeling more welcomed!
💰 Cash Counter Placement
Where Your Money Lives
Think of your cash counter as a piggy bank. You want to put it where coins won’t roll away!
Best Position for Cash Counter
| Location | Effect |
|---|---|
| South-East | Fire element = Money multiplies! |
| North | Wealth flows toward you |
| South of South-East | Strong financial growth |
graph TD A["Cash Counter Rules"] --> B["Face North or East"] A --> C["Never Near Entrance"] A --> D["Keep South-West of Shop"] B --> E["💵 Money Flows In"] C --> F["🔒 Money Stays Safe"] D --> G["💎 Stability"]
🧍 Cashier’s Facing Direction
- Face North: Money comes TO you (like a magnet!)
- Face East: Fresh opportunities with every transaction
⚠️ What to Avoid
- Cash counter near the main door = Money walks out!
- Cashier facing South = Arguments over payments
- Under a beam = Pressure on finances
Simple Example:
Meera’s bakery had the cash register right next to the door. Money seemed to vanish! She moved it to the South-East corner facing North. Now her savings grew steadily.
👔 Owner Seating Direction
The Captain’s Chair
You’re the captain of your business ship! Where the captain sits decides where the ship goes.

🎯 Perfect Setup
| Aspect | Ideal Choice |
|---|---|
| Location | South-West corner of office |
| Facing | North or East |
| Behind | Solid wall (not window/door) |
| View | See the entrance door |
Why South-West?
The South-West is the heaviest direction (like an anchor). The owner sitting here feels grounded, stable, and in control - like a king on his throne!
❌ Never Do This
- Sit under a beam (feels like pressure on your head)
- Back to the door (enemies can sneak up!)
- Face a wall directly (blocked vision = blocked growth)
Simple Example:
Mr. Sharma, a factory owner, sat in the North-East corner. He felt restless and decisions were always changing. After moving to South-West facing North, he felt more confident and business stabilized!
👥 Employee Seating Arrangement
Your Business Team Formation
Imagine your employees are like players on a cricket team. Each player has a perfect position to play their best!
Direction-Based Seating

🗺️ Where Each Team Sits Best
| Department | Best Direction | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts/Finance | South-East | Fire element = Money energy |
| Sales/Marketing | North-West | Air element = Movement, communication |
| Creative/Design | West | Sunset = Creativity, innovation |
| HR/Admin | East or North | People skills, fresh energy |
👀 All Employees Should Face
- North or East while working
- Never face South (brings lethargy) or doors directly (distraction)
Simple Example:
A software company had developers sitting randomly. Some faced walls, some faced each other. They reorganized: all developers faced North. Productivity increased and fewer bugs in code!
🚪 Office Cabin Placement
Private Spaces Done Right
Office cabins are like little homes within your office. Each needs proper Vastu too!
Cabin Hierarchy (Who Gets Which Corner)

📍 Cabin Rules
| Position | Ideal Cabin Location |
|---|---|
| Owner/CEO | South-West (command center) |
| Directors | South or West |
| Managers | West or North-West |
| Team Leads | North or East |
🚪 Cabin Door Should Open
- Inward and toward East or North
- Never open outward (pushes opportunity away)
💺 Inside the Cabin
- Desk in South-West of cabin
- Face North or East
- Solid wall behind (support)
- No toilet behind your seat wall
Simple Example:
An IT company’s CEO sat in the North-East cabin. Projects kept getting cancelled. They shifted him to South-West. Within months, three big contracts were signed!
🤝 Conference Room Vastu
Where Big Decisions Happen
The conference room is like the brain of your office. Important thinking happens here!
Perfect Conference Room Location
graph TD A["Conference Room"] --> B["Best: North-West"] A --> C["Good: West"] A --> D["Okay: North"] B --> E["Quick Decisions"] C --> F["Creative Solutions"] D --> G["Clear Thinking"]
🎯 Inside the Conference Room

|---|---|
| Room Location | North-West corner of office |
| Table Shape | Rectangle or Oval (not L-shaped!) |
| Boss Seat | South or West end, facing North/East |
| Visitor Seats | North or East side, facing South/West |
| Door Position | North-East or East |
🎨 Colors and Decor
- Best Colors: Light blue, cream, white (calm thinking)
- Avoid: Red, black (creates arguments)
- Add: A painting of rising sun or mountains on East/South walls
⚠️ Avoid in Conference Room
- Toilet attached or adjacent
- Conference room in South-East (leads to heated arguments)
- Broken chairs or flickering lights (breaks concentration)
Simple Example:
A law firm had their conference room in South-East. Every client meeting ended in disagreements. They moved to North-West and painted it light blue. Negotiations became smoother!
