🏠 Vastu: Where to Place Your Electronics & Appliances
The Energy Flow Story
Imagine your home is like a river. Energy (called prana) flows through it like water. When you put big objects in wrong spots, it’s like throwing rocks into the river — the water gets blocked and messy!
Your electronics and appliances are those big objects. Put them in the right spots, and energy flows smoothly. Put them wrong, and things feel “off” — you might feel tired, stressed, or just not happy at home.
Let’s learn where each gadget belongs! 🌟
🔌 Electrical Points Placement
Think of Electrical Points as Energy Doors
Electrical points are like little doors where energy enters your home. Just like you wouldn’t put a door in the middle of your bed, you need to place these “energy doors” carefully!
The Golden Rules
Best Directions:
- ✅ Southeast — The fire corner (electricity = controlled fire!)
- ✅ South — Strong energy flow
- ✅ Northwest — Good for movement
Avoid These:
- ❌ Northeast — This is the sacred corner for peace
- ❌ Center of room — Energy needs to flow, not get stuck
Real Example
Raj’s Living Room: He had switchboards on the northeast wall. He always felt restless watching TV. After moving the main switchboard to the southeast corner, he noticed he could relax better!

Quick Tips
- Keep switchboards at least 1-2 feet above floor
- Don’t place them behind doors
- Group switches together (less “energy doors” = cleaner flow)
📺 TV Placement
Your TV is Like a Window to Another World
When you watch TV, you’re looking at stories, news, and entertainment. In Vastu, the direction you FACE while watching matters more than where the TV sits!
The Simple Rule
You should face EAST or NORTH while watching TV.
Why? East brings morning energy (fresh, new). North brings prosperity energy (good vibes!).
Where to Put the TV
| Your Sofa Faces | Put TV On |
|---|---|
| East | West wall |
| North | South wall |
| Northeast | Southwest wall |
What to Avoid
- ❌ TV in bedroom — It disturbs sleep energy
- ❌ TV facing main door — Energy escapes outside
- ❌ TV in northeast corner — Blocks the peace zone
Real Example
Maya’s Problem: Her TV was in the bedroom, and she couldn’t sleep well. She moved it to the living room’s south wall (so she faces north while watching). Now she sleeps like a baby!
Height Matters!
- TV should be at eye level when seated
- Not too high (strains neck AND energy!)
- Not on the floor (blocked energy)
💻 Computer Placement
Your Computer is Your Work Temple
For students and workers, the computer is where important things happen — homework, office work, creative projects. Vastu helps you focus better!
The Focus Formula
Face EAST or NORTH while using your computer.
- East = Better concentration
- North = Career growth
Best Spots
✅ Southeast of the room — Connects to fire energy (action!) ✅ Home office in West or South — Good for work zones
Things to Remember
- Your back should face a solid wall — Feels more secure
- Don’t face a window behind your screen — Distracting
- Keep wires organized — Messy wires = messy mind
Real Example
Student Arjun: He kept failing exams. His study desk faced a window (distracting!) with computer in northwest (unstable energy). He moved the desk so he faces east with computer in southeast. His grades improved in 3 months!

❄️ Air Conditioner Placement
AC is Like a Cool Breeze Helper
Air conditioners push air around your room. In Vastu, the DIRECTION of air flow matters!
Best Placement
| Room Type | Best AC Position |
|---|---|
| Bedroom | West or South wall |
| Living Room | West wall |
| Office | Northwest |
The Why Behind It
- West = Setting sun energy (cooling naturally!)
- South = Controlled energy flow
- Northwest = Wind direction (air element!)
Avoid These Mistakes
- ❌ AC blowing directly at head (while sleeping)
- ❌ Northeast wall (disturbs peace corner)
- ❌ Above main door (pushes away good energy)
Real Example
Grandma’s Room: She had AC on east wall, blowing at her bed. She caught cold often! After moving AC to west wall (blowing across the room, not at her), she stayed healthier.
Pro Tip
If you CAN’T move the AC, angle the vents so air flows clockwise around the room. Energy loves clockwise movement!
🧊 Refrigerator Placement
Your Fridge is the Food Guardian
The refrigerator stores food — your family’s nourishment. It needs to be in a spot that keeps the “abundance energy” flowing!
The Perfect Spots
✅ Southwest direction — Stability (keeps food fresh longer!) ✅ South or West wall — Good energy zones ✅ Southeast — If kitchen is there
Never Put Fridge Here
- ❌ Northeast corner — Kills the peace energy
- ❌ Against North wall — Blocks prosperity
- ❌ Center of kitchen — Disrupts all cooking energy
The Door Direction Rule
Fridge door should open towards EAST or NORTH.
Why? When you open the fridge, you’re “welcoming” food energy. East and North are welcoming directions!
Real Example
The Sharma Family: They kept running out of food money. Their fridge was in northeast corner with door opening south. After moving it to southwest (door opening north), they noticed food lasted longer and shopping bills reduced!
graph TD A["Kitchen Layout"] --> B["Southwest Corner"] B --> C["🧊 Fridge Here"] C --> D["Door Opens North/East"] D --> E["✅ Abundance Flows!"]
Spacing Matters
- Keep 3-4 inches gap behind fridge (energy circulation)
- Don’t place stove directly opposite fridge (fire vs ice = conflict!)
🔥 Gas Cylinder Placement
The Fire Element Lives Here
Gas cylinder is pure FIRE energy in Vastu. It’s powerful and needs respect!
The ONLY Good Direction
✅ SOUTHEAST — This is the fire corner. Fire belongs here!
The Rules
- Cylinder should be in Southeast of kitchen
- You should face EAST while cooking
- Never place in Northeast — Water + fire = chaos
- Never place in Northwest — Wind makes fire wild
Storage Tips
- Keep cylinder slightly elevated (on a platform)
- Ensure good ventilation around it
- Never store under the cooking stove directly
Real Example
Meera’s Kitchen: She had gas cylinder in north (water direction). There was always tension during cooking — things burned, accidents happened. After moving cylinder to southeast corner, cooking became peaceful and food tasted better!
The Cooking Direction
When you stand and cook:
- Face EAST — Best! Morning energy makes food healthy
- Face SOUTH — Okay for some
- Never face NORTH — It’s like cooking backwards
graph TD A["Kitchen"] --> B["Southeast Corner"] B --> C["🔥 Gas Cylinder"] A --> D["Cook Facing East"] D --> E["✅ Happy Cooking!"]
🎯 Quick Summary: The Direction Game
| Appliance | Best Direction | Face While Using | Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Points | Southeast, South | — | Northeast |
| TV | South/West wall | East/North | Bedroom, Northeast |
| Computer | Southeast | East/North | Window behind |
| Air Conditioner | West, South, Northwest | — | Northeast, above door |
| Refrigerator | Southwest, South, West | Door opens E/N | Northeast |
| Gas Cylinder | Southeast | Face East when cooking | Northeast, Northwest |
🌈 The Big Picture
Think of your home like a body:
- Northeast = The head (keep peaceful, clear)
- Southeast = The stomach (fire, digestion, electricity)
- Southwest = The legs (heavy, stable things)
- Northwest = The arms (movement, air)
Put your electronics where they “fit” in this body, and your home stays healthy! 🏠✨
Remember This!
“Right placement isn’t about superstition — it’s about creating a space where you FEEL good. When things are in harmony, life flows easier!”
Start with ONE change. Move ONE appliance. Feel the difference. Then do more! 🚀
