Prayer Corner Or Home Temple

Vastu Acharya Manoj Shrivastava has visited many homes and offices where the home temple is placed below the staircase. He has found that such a placement affects the flow of cosmic energies in the space causing financial issues and hampers progress.

Electrical Panels And Equipment

When it comes to designing a staircase as per Vastu, placing electrical panels or heavy electrical equipment under the staircase can disrupt the home’s electromagnetic balance, according to Vastu principles, leading to tension and health issues. Electrical disturbances and the electromagnetic radiation from appliances and panels can interfere with the home’s energy pattern. Storing or installing these under the staircase is one of the serious Vastu red flags.

Mirrors

Mirrors reflect energy. “Placing them under the staircase can reflect back the positive energy entering the home, causing a Vastu imbalance,” Shrivastava says. Mirrors not only reflect but they also amplify energy. A mirror placed under the staircase can reflect negative energy into the living spaces, disrupting the peace and harmony of the home.

Dark, Heavy Furniture

Heavy furniture or dark-coloured objects under the staircase can create a sense of heaviness, impacting the mood and energy of the home. Vastu suggests light, airy, and minimal storage solutions if necessary. “Heavy furniture under the staircase can create a sense of heaviness above, leading to a feeling of oppression, affecting the mood of the family members,” the Vastukar says.

Work Or Study Desks

Work or study areas require open, well-lit spaces to stimulate creativity and productivity. Placing desks under the staircase can lead to a lack of focus and stagnation in personal and professional growth. As per Vastu, the area under the staircase is not suitable for intellectual or financial activities. Placing workstations or study desks here can hinder concentration and productivity.
