Guest Bedroom in the South-West: Vastu Score, Effects & Remedies

What the South-West means in Vastu

In Vastu Shastra, the South-West is the earth zone (Nairutya). It governs stability, relationships and the authority of the head of the family, and is best kept heavy and closed. Its element is earth and its presiding deity is Nairutya.

A guest room is for people who come and go, so Vastu favours the North-West air zone of movement, which keeps stays pleasant without making them overly long.

Why a guest bedroom here works

Good for adult guests. The South-West is compatible with a guest bedroom, even if it is not the very best zone for it.

Scores across the South-West zone

Vastu Buddy scores 16 directions, so a room near the edge of the South-West zone can score a little differently from one at its centre.

Tips to get the most from it

• Keep the room simple and uncluttered so it feels welcoming.

• Position the bed so guests sleep with their head to the South or East.

• Use light, airy colours and good ventilation.
