Bedrooms take the largest share of most house plans, and their positions shape the rest of the layout around them.
Commonly Followed Positions
| Room | Common Vastu position |
|---|---|
| Master bedroom | South-west |
| Children's bedroom | West or east |
| Guest bedroom | North-west |
| Avoided | North-east and centre for bedrooms |
Inside the Room
| Element | Common guidance |
|---|---|
| Bed position | South-west part of the room |
| Head direction | South or east |
| Headboard | Against a solid wall, not a window |
| Wardrobes | South or west walls |
| Attached toilet | North-west or west of the room, as the plan allows |
Practitioners differ in details; confirm with a Vastu expert if you follow it closely.
Comfort in Hyderabad's Climate
A south-west master bedroom has two external walls facing south and west — the sides that take the most heat from March to June. Practical measures:
- 8 or 9 inch AAC external walls.
- Shaded windows with deep chajjas.
- Fewer, smaller west-facing openings.
- A reflective or insulated roof if the bedroom is on the top floor.
The Short Version
Master bedroom south-west, children west or east, guests north-west; bed in the south-west of the room with the head south or east — and insulate the hot walls a south-west bedroom brings.
