The living room should be in the east (not the
southeast corner) or in the north. However, it is more beneficial
if the room is in the north. The slope of the flooring in the
living room should be towards the east or the north. The
furniture, show-cases and other heavy articles inside the room
should be placed in the west or south direction.
The colour of the walls and the
tiles can be white, yellow, blue or green. As far as possible, it
should not be red or black. Any fancy chandelier should not be
right in the center of the room, but can be slightly towards the
west. The objective is that the heavy weight of the chandelier and
pull of Centre gravy it do not fall on Brahma' place.
Coolers or air-conditioners should
be in the west and not in the south-east section. The east-facing
and west-facing doors are very auspicious for the living room. As
far as possible the television should be in the southeast corner.
If it is in the north-west corner, it is viewed for a very long
time, thereby wasting a lot of precious time of the resident.
