direction a house faces decides where the main entrance and the main rooms are placed. An east facing house is traditionally preferred for morning light, and a west facing house can follow Vastu too if the entrance and rooms are placed correctly. Check the actual floor plan, not just the facing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_facing_works_in_Vastu_east_facing_house_Vastu\"><\/span>How facing works in Vastu: east facing house Vastu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A house&#8217;s facing is the direction you look when you stand at the main entrance and look out. Vastu then divides the plot into eight zones, such as north east, south east and south west, and traditionally assigns rooms to them. Practitioners do not all agree on every detail, so use the guidance below as a starting point and have a qualified consultant check the plan you are considering.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"East_facing_house_what_Vastu_traditionally_suggests\"><\/span>East facing house: what Vastu traditionally suggests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Entrance:<\/strong> in the north east or east part of the front wall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pooja room:<\/strong> north east.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kitchen:<\/strong> south east.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Master bedroom:<\/strong> south west.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Living room:<\/strong> north, north east or east.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Children&#8217;s bedrooms:<\/strong> west or north west.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toilets:<\/strong> west or north west, away from the north east.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staircase:<\/strong> south, south west or west.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"West_facing_house_what_Vastu_traditionally_suggests\"><\/span>West facing house: what Vastu traditionally suggests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Entrance:<\/strong> in the north west or west part of the front wall, with many practitioners advising against the south west corner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pooja room:<\/strong> north east, which means planning the layout so it is reachable from the entrance side.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kitchen:<\/strong> north west or south east.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Master bedroom:<\/strong> south west.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Living room:<\/strong> north west or north.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Children&#8217;s bedrooms:<\/strong> west or north west.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toilets:<\/strong> west or north west.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staircase:<\/strong> south, south west or west.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"East_vs_west_facing_house_compared\"><\/span>East vs west facing house compared<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table><thead><tr><th>Factor<\/th><th>East facing<\/th><th>West facing<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Traditional view<\/td><td>Widely preferred in Vastu<\/td><td>Accepted when entrance and rooms are placed correctly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Light<\/td><td>Morning sun enters the front rooms<\/td><td>Afternoon sun enters the front rooms<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Heat<\/td><td>Cooler afternoons at the front<\/td><td>Afternoons can be warmer, so look at shading, window size and ventilation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Entrance position<\/td><td>North east or east part of the wall<\/td><td>North west or west part of the wall<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pooja room<\/td><td>Easy to place in the north east<\/td><td>Check how the north east corner works in the plan<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What to check<\/td><td>Placement of kitchen and toilets<\/td><td>Entrance position, shading and the north east corner<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n<p>Neither direction guarantees a good home.

For an east facing plot, check that the road and neighbouring buildings do not block the morning light.
