People nowadays prefer to ensure that their offices adhere to Vastu Shashtra guidelines. But why though? It’s because it is believed that designing an office as per Vastu brings fortune and financial prosperity at the workplace.

And for all those who love to surround themselves with positive energy and get away from the negative vibes, here is the list of easy-to-implement Vastu tips for office design to boost your business:

RECEPTION

Let’s start with the reception first. Reception is the first place your clients, employees, business partners, and visitors see and thus plays a crucial role in leaving a good impression. The ideal location for the reception is in the East or Northeast direction with your office name board in the South direction. You can also place the reception desk diagonal to the main entrance door.

Consider placing a bunch of French lavender flowers or green jade flowers on the desk as it will surround the place with positivity.

If you love plants, consider snake plants, four-leaved clover plants, areca palms, and lucky bamboo.

ROOM POSITIONS

Founder/CEO’s Room: The Founder’s room should be placed in the South-West corner with them facing East or North. Vastu guidelines do not prefer frames, idols, glass, or wooden partitions behind the CEO’s desk. The table should be wooden instead of a glass one and the shape should be rectangular or square rather than elongated or curved.

Conference Room: This should be placed in the Northwest direction as helps in bringing good clients.

Temple Room: The best suitable direction for the Pooja room is the Northeast direction. But if that direction is not available, you can also prefer the East direction.
