South facing homes have earned the reputation of being unlucky but they aren’t all bad. Go through these south-facing house Vastu tips to bring in positivity to your home.
If you go according to the lar notion a south-facing house (one where your entrance door opens up southward) is supposedly inauspicious. If you believe in the principles of Vastu Shastra, the Indian science of home arrangement, you will be aware that all directions come with certain dos and don’ts viz-a-viz the layout of a home. A home house facing any direction can be made auspicious if certain specific Vastu principles are followed. Read on to know the essential Vastu tips to plan the layout of your south-facing home so that you attract abundance and good fortune all year long.
The Entrance Vastu
The entrance of your home is one of the most important things to plan for. If you are looking at your house from the outside, the main door should be placed at what is referred to as the 4th pada or step of the entrance. Simply put, if you divide the wall bearing the entrance of your south-facing house into nine equal parts, with the first part being at the right/ south-east end of the wall, then the best placement for the door would be in the 4th such part.
You may also place the door between the first three padas but you must avoid placing it anywhere between padas 5-9, i.e, the south-western part of the entrance wall. Some experts also recommend that the entrance door must also be the largest to welcome an inflow of good energies. The door must also open inwards in a clockwise direction.

It is advisable to avoid having a kitchen in the southwestern part of the house.
