Store Room 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.

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.

Why a store room here works

Best for storage, maximum stability and security. The South-West’s stability, relationships and the head of the family support exactly what a store room needs.

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

• Store heavy items along the South and West walls.

• Clear out unused and broken items regularly.

• Keep the store room dry and well lit — damp, dark storage is a Vastu negative.
