10 Common Vastu Mistakes That Drain Your Home of Positive Energy

Small placement errors can quietly block prosperity. Here are the ten most common Vastu mistakes — and easy fixes.

1. Mirror Facing the Bed

A mirror reflecting your bed is a classic Vastu mistake. It disturbs sleep, creates restlessness and weakens the relationship between partners. Cover or relocate the mirror.

2. Kitchen in the North-East

The north-east is the zone of water and prayer. Placing a kitchen there creates conflict between fire and water, leading to financial leaks. If unavoidable, balance with copper utensils and proper lighting.

3. Clutter Near the Entrance

Shoes, broken items and unused boxes near the entrance block the flow of Lakshmi. Keep the entrance clean, well-lit and welcoming.

4. Toilet in the North or East

These directions govern wealth and learning. A toilet here drains energy. Keep doors closed and add salt bowls to neutralise effect.

5. Cracked Tiles and Walls

Cracks signify breakage in continuity. Repair immediately — even small cracks influence the energetic flow.
