DIY Vastu: Simple Home Corrections You Can Make This Weekend
2 September 2026
Vastu does not need a rebuild. Most homes improve with small, careful changes. Direction, light and order do the heavy work.
DIY VASTU: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Homes by Meenakshi Awasthi is written for renters and owners alike.
Start at the entrance
The entrance sets the tone. Keep it clean and well lit. Remove shoe piles and broken items. A door that sticks or squeaks needs repair first.
Kitchen and fire
The south east corner suits fire. Try to cook facing east. Keep the stove and the sink apart where the layout allows. Store grain in the south west.
Bedroom and rest
Sleep with the head to the south or the east. Keep mirrors away from the bed. Remove electronics and clutter from under the bed.
Work and money corners
Sit facing north or east while you work. Keep the north east light and open. Avoid heavy storage in that corner.
Order of work
- Clear clutter before you move anything.
- Fix leaks and broken fittings.
- Improve light and air.
- Only then adjust furniture direction.
You can plan the changes room by room with our DIY Vastu software. Pair it with the remedies guide if a specific planet needs support.
Read the book
The book gives room by room checklists, plot shape notes and fixes for flats where direction cannot change.
