The direction of your house can bring you curses or blessings. To help you out here are rules and regulations that you must follow when designing an east facing house. Dos You should place the door in the 5th pada as this is the location of Sun (the God of fame). If the 5th pada is too small you should place the entrance in the 1st or 4th pada. Place the kitchen in the SE or NW direction. When cooking, you should face East if your kitchen faces SE and west if your kitchen faces NW. If you are yet to buy a plot to construct the house on you should buy one that slopes south to north. When designing the living room, you should ensure that it faces NW. The master bedroom should face SW and the guest bedroom face NW. Don'ts To avoid bad luck you need to avoid the things that might bring it. For example, you shouldn't place the toilets in the NE corner. You should also avoid placing the bedrooms in that direction. Other things that you should avoid placing in the NE direction are: septic tank, kitchen, and staircase. When buying a plot you should avoid one that slopes north to south. If there are trees in the north and east directions of the house you should cut them down. You should also avoid planting the trees in the same direction. While you should ensure that there is no clutter, dustbins and dirt in your house, you should ensure that there is none in the north and NE direction. It's highly recommended that you ensure that there is no cut in the NE corner, but if there is one you should construct pyramids in all directions of your house (north, west, south and east). You should also consider placing 2 mirrors at the corner so that cut in the north east corner is reflected. The reflection gives an illusion of an extension of the north east corner. Conclusion These are the things that you should and shouldn't do when designing an east facing house. You should note that if you do the things that you shouldn't you risk having health, financial and even family issues such as divorce and many others. To have a great design you should work with an experienced architect. The architect should not only understand what needs to be done, he/she should also have constructed an east facing house in the past. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9275007
