Vastu considers this a challenging placement, but it can be balanced without construction.
Not ideal, may affect stored items.
Best direction: South-West (100/100)
In Vastu Shastra, the North-East is the most sacred zone of the home (Ishanya). It governs spirituality, mental clarity and health, and Vastu wants it kept light, clean and open. Its element is water and its presiding deity is Ishanya.
Storage is heavy and static, so Vastu puts it where weight is welcome — the grounded South-West — and keeps it out of the light, open North-East.
North-East should stay open and light — heavy storage here is thought to block positive energy from entering the home.
