Vastu for staircase is essential, as the staircase symbolizes the route connecting different spaces. It is important to ensure positive energy circulates throughout your journey, which is where Vastu principles for stairs come into play.
Vastu is an ancient Indian doctrine of architectural guidelines. It aims to ensure the balance between design and science for positive energy flow in space. From a single corner to a large room, every space has a set of Vastu principles, and so is the Vastu for Staircase. People believe that their placement brings good health and prosperity to the house.
Let’s get into the details with this blog to make your rout perfectly balanced.
Well, of course, the colour schemes are also a crucial part of the vastu of the staircase. The ideal colours for the staircase are light and pastel hues. Light shades are connected to positivity. It is recommended to avoid colors like red and black because they are suspected of having negative energies.
The placement of the Staircase is a crucial part of the Vastu consideration. According to its positioning, the energy flow in the house varies.
Don’ts: An internal staircase should be prevented from being placed in the center of your house. Neither is to be placed in a way that is visible directly although, that can be negotiated according to the space available. And, one should also avoid staircases directly above or near the spaces like Pooja room, kitchen, or storeroom. As this can affect the energy flow.
Orientation: Experts recommend a clockwise orientation, moving from north to south and east to west, as it is believed to maintain the energy flow and elevate your route.
According to Vastu, square or rectangular staircases are the perfect type of staircase for optimal energy flow. Having the right-angle bends in them is a plus point. But, visually appealing Spiral staircases are generally discouraged because of their potential to disrupt the energy.
We all know the cultural belief of starting with the ‘right foot first,’ which is considered auspicious for any journey. Therefore, to honor that belief in your stairway journey, experts recommend an odd number of steps.
The famous Harry Potter room below the stairs reminds us of under the staircase! Experts recommend using the space underneath for storing artifacts for aesthetics. However, they strictly advise against placing any valuables there or using the space as a study area or pooja room.
As the symbol of the journey, stairways are an integral architectural element. Hence, for the significant positive energy flow in your house, Vastu for the staircase is a must-considered thing. However, according to the available premises and constraints in the area, Vastu can be flexible. Vastu isn’t a myth or just a cultural practice but also a scientific consideration in architecture.
