In traditional Vastu the main entrance is read by its direction and by its position along that side of the plot or flat. North and east sides are widely cited as favourable, and schools differ on how the sides are divided.
The traditional convention
Texts and practitioners divide each side into parts and assess the entrance by which part it falls in. Because the divisions vary between schools, the same door can be read differently, which is why the position and the whole plan are considered together.
Why a plan-specific review matters
Traditions and consultants differ in detail, and a real home rarely matches a textbook layout. The useful question is how your plan sits, which observations matter most and what can be adjusted without construction.
What a consultant checks
- Which direction the door faces, confirmed with a compass
- Where along that side the door sits
- What lies directly in front of the door and inside it
- How the entrance connects to the living area and staircase
- For flats, the entrance relative to the lift and the common passage
Limits
A room's position is one input among many. It does not replace structural, safety or legal checks, and it does not promise any outcome. Where moving a room is impractical, a review looks at use, furniture and smaller adjustments first.
