Main Door Vastu Planner
Choose the direction your main door faces, the floor and the plot direction. Get a respectful Vastu verdict for the entrance, the reasoning behind it, gentle remedies for less-ideal directions, and a door colour and material suggestion. Vastu here is tradition plus practical reasoning — guidance to consider, never a verdict on your home.
Your entrance
Stand inside, look out through the door — that is the way it faces.
Vastu Shastra is a belief-based tradition. This planner offers commonly taught preferences with the practical climate logic often cited alongside them. No direction makes a home good or bad — treat it as one input among many.

| Direction | Verdict | Why (tradition) | Colour cue |
|---|---|---|---|
| North | Favourable | Ruled by Kubera (wealth) and associated with opportunity and prosperity in tradition. | Greens, blues and aqua tones |
| North-East (Ishanya) | Favourable | Ishanya, the corner of Ishana (Shiva), is considered the most auspicious zone for an entrance. | Whites, light yellows, cream and pale gold |
| East | Favourable | Ruled by Surya (sun) and Indra; linked with health, recognition and new beginnings. | Warm whites, light wood tones and pale orange |
| South-East (Agneya) | Acceptable | Agneya is the fire corner (Agni) — fine for a kitchen, less ideal for the main entry in tradition. | Earthy reds, terracotta and warm browns |
| South | Acceptable | Ruled by Yama; usable when the door is placed in the auspicious 'padas' of the south wall. | Warm reds, oranges and deep wood tones |
| South-West (Nairutya) | Needs remedy | Nairutya is the zone of stability and is traditionally kept heavy/closed — a main door here is generally discouraged. | Earthy browns, muted yellows and ochre — grounding tones |
| West | Acceptable | Ruled by Varuna; considered acceptable, especially when set in the favourable padas of the west wall. | Whites, light blues and silver/grey accents |
| North-West (Vayavya) | Acceptable | Vayavya is the air corner (Vayu) — acceptable for an entry, linked with movement and contacts. | Whites, light greys and pale metallic tones |

A note of respect: Vastu Shastra is a living tradition that means different things to different families and teachers. Studio Matrx presents it as cultural and practical guidance, never as a guarantee. A door in any direction can be a wonderful, welcoming entrance.
