Vastu for the north-facing shop:
It is very easy to design north-facing and east-facing shops as per the Vastu shastra. The weight balance can be easily done in north-facing shops as compared to west or south facing shops. If your shop is north-facing then the shutter will come in the north-east portion of the shop as the north-east direction will not have much weight. The north direction symbolizes God Kubera, who is the god of money. North-facing shops will have good business growth and good profit in the business; also it causes expansion of the business. It is better to have north-facing or east-facing shops for good business.
Rules you should follow for north-facing shops are:
- The shop should be rectangular shaped or square-shaped.
- You should keep heavyweight items in the south-east. Less weight can be kept in the south-east direction and least weight in the north-west direction.
- Try to avoid keeping materials in the north-east direction or you can keep very little weight in that direction. This will ensure a proper weight balance in the shop.
- The cashier should face east or the north direction (east is better). The cashier should not sit in any corner of the shop. The cashier should sit near the south-west direction.
- Generally, the shopkeepers keep the photo of any god or goddess in the shop. The photo should not be placed in the north-east or the south-west direction. You can keep it anywhere else.
- If there is a need to place steps in the shop then it should be in the north-east area. Also, the shape of the steps should be square or rectangle, no other shapes like a circle or semicircle.
- The showcase should be kept on the south or north side. East direction for the showcase should be avoided. Or lightweight things can be kept on the north side.
- The shop should be a bit above from the level of the road. The height of 3 feet will be good from the ground level.
- You can place small ventilation on the east side this will bring a lot of positivity in the shop.
Vastu for the east-facing shop:
- You should keep heavy materials in the south-west direction. South-east is the second direction for keeping materials and north-west is the third direction.
