Cosmic energies or vibrations have a strong impact on how you lead your life and they can be present in the unlikeliest of places, for instance, the wardrobe in your bedroom or master bedroom.  Following wardrobe Vastu can help you keep all negativities at bay and bring prosperity into your household

A bedroom is a private place where you relax and rejuvenate after a long day of work. The simplest of things — like a wardrobe in the bedroom that is not Vastu-compliant — can create problems in your everyday life and affect your health, career, wealth, marriage and other aspects. 

Let’s go through some of the tips on Vastu for a wardrobe in the bedroom or Vastu for a wardrobe in the master bedroom so that you can design or correct it accordingly.

1. Wardrobe Facing Vastu (Direction)

The ideal direction for the wardrobe is the southwest (first choice) or the northwest (second choice) of the house, as it ensures the constant flow of money in the household. However, a heavy wardrobe can be placed on the west or south wall. The bedroom doors should open to the north. Avoid all other directions for placing the wardrobe, as, according to Vastu, it can lead to a drastic loss of cash.

2. Wardrobe Placement As Per Vastu

When you place the wardrobe keeping in mind the ideal Vastu direction, always leave a gap of at least 3 inches between the wardrobe and the wall itself. The primary aim here is to ensure that the air is free-flowing and that there are no obstructions to the circulation of positive energy in the surrounding area.

Make sure that the furniture in the bedroom is placed towards the northeast and the wardrobe doors don’t face the toilet wall as this may lead to more outflow of money and wealth. The wardrobe doors should always open towards the east and never towards the south. This is because the south can cause disruptions and frequent quarrels between family members.

3. Wardrobe Colours As Per Vastu

Vastu Shastra suggests you use light colours on both the wardrobe and the bedroom walls. Light shades spread positivity and calm the eyes and mind.

In contrast, dark colours are not recommended. They absorb negative energy and hold on to it, which can distract you and disturb your peace.

Good wardrobe colours as per Vastu include pastel shades like light yellow, white and cream (symbols of peace), beige and light grey. These colours make the room feel larger and support a smooth flow of good energy.

The best Vastu colours for bedroom wardrobes are pastel shades like light yellow, white and cream (symbolise peace), beige and light grey. These colours open up the space and lead to a harmonious flow of the right energies.

4. Vastu-Compliant Wardrobe Design

For the wardrobe to be in line with Vastu principles, it should be made of iron and wood, not of marble or any other stone. It should be of a solid square or rectangular shape and should have a single-door system for the best results. Odd and unusual wardrobe shapes are considered inauspicious.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the wardrobe shouldn’t have any mirrors that could possibly reflect the person sleeping on the bed, as they can build up negative energy and lead to prolonged illness and health issues. Ideally, try to avoid mirrors in the bedroom, but if that’s not possible due to space constraints, make sure you cover them with a curtain or cloth to avoid direct reflections.

5. Arrangement of Wardrobe Items As Per Vastu 

Vastu Shastra also states that the wardrobe should be spacious enough to accommodate all your personal and essential items. The items must be reorganised from time to time, and anything unnecessary should be kept out of it. You are required to keep the wardrobe clean and tidy to the extent possible.

If you have a vault or locker in your wardrobe, you should never leave it empty. Place some jewellery and cash in it, ideally facing the north, to maintain prosperity and the inflow of cash in the house. The north is considered to be owned by Lord Kubera (God of Money). Alternatively, you can keep five-seven silver coins in the wardrobe as well.

Place the locker on a solid, stable platform to keep it balanced, and keep it on the top shelf of the wardrobe.

Keeping your wardrobes Vastu-compliant will help ensure a harmonious relationship with your family members and prosperity in your personal and professional life. Reach out to a Vastu expert at DesignCafe if you have any more doubts (via call or email). We’re waiting to hear from you!

FAQs

1. What are some common misconceptions about Vastu and bedroom wardrobe design?

Many people wrongly believe that Vastu says the wardrobe must be attached to the wall. When you design a wardrobe for your room, leave a gap of at least 3 inches between the wall and the wardrobe.

2. How can a bedroom wardrobe support restful sleep and relaxation as per Vastu?

According to Vastu principles, place the wardrobe in the south or west of the room to create a sense of stability and grounding. Also, ensure that the mirror attached to the wardrobe does not reflect the bed, as this reflection can negatively affect the sleep and health of the person in it.

3. How can you balance Vastu rules with wardrobe storage needs and personal style?

Consider incorporating design elements that are compatible with Vastu principles. For example, you can add mirrors to the wardrobe to maximise natural light and create a sense of openness, but make sure the mirrors don’t reflect the bed. Try to choose natural materials, colours, and finishes for the wardrobe that are soothing and calming. You can also add plants to bring balance and harmony to the space.

4. How can you place a bedroom wardrobe to maintain positive energy flow as per Vastu?

According to Vastu principles, do not place the wardrobe against the wall that you share with the bed, as this placement can block the flow of positive energy. Ensure the wardrobe doors open freely without obstruction, and keep the wardrobe well-organised and clutter-free. These practices help maintain the flow of energy in the room.
