It is indeed a thrilling exercise to shop for the right types of curios and ornamental/decorative pieces to beautify your home. But, simply shopping for whatever catches your attention could result in unhappy or even catastrophic results. Certain things are considered to be unlucky and could cause harm within your home. Consider carefully before purchasing furniture items for your home.
Beware of Thorns
Yes, the thorny plants, particularly the cacti, appear gorgeous. But, Vastu shastra does not necessarily agree with your feelings. They’re similar to obstructions that can be a hindrance to the process of harmony within the household, in addition to destroying the positive attitude in the home and causing poor health. Avoid keeping these plants inside (verandah) as well as outside (garden) your house.
Beware of Grave Memorials
Yes, even a replica Taj Mahal is beautiful to look at. But don’t misunderstand it as a symbol representing love. In fact, it’s Mumtaz Mahal’s tomb. If you display such pieces in your home can result in the creation of an unsettling atmosphere. Graves can trigger memories of passivity and death.
Beware of certain statues, pictures, and paintings.
Wall art is a favorite by a majority of people. However, each artwork or picture may not be considered an appropriate addition to the household. If you have even one photograph of a boat sinking, take it off the shelf. It’s a symbol of decline or demise. Your financial situation and relationships with your family members will be affected greatly.
Additionally, avoid displaying images or statues of wildlife or birds in any place, particularly in rooms or living spaces. Vastu shastra recommends that they draw out the wild animal nature that is hidden in people and can lead to conflict. Landscapes, flowers, scenes, and more are good options for wall art.
Pictures depicting scenes of war in the Ramayana/Mahabharata could result in wars between families. You wouldn’t want rivalries and conflicts to dominate, wouldn’t you?
Do not get enamored with Water Fountains.
They are just for decoration for the living or dining room since not everybody is able to afford costly home decor items! Water has the ability to flow. It means that everything in the house will show the characteristics of an unstable. The wealth and prosperity, particularly that, will continue to flow into and from your home.
Don’t be fooled by the notion you are the only one. All Idols are Good
Lord Shiva (or Lord Nataraja looks stunning when dancing. However, remember that this pose is related to the dancing of destruction and anger. The Lord is dancing his Tandava Nritya. There is a belief that showing worship of the Lord Nataraja is similar to inviting destruction and negativity to the house. There is no way to have domestic peace.
The same is true for the house. Your home shouldn’t provide shelter to broken gods and goddesses. Get rid of them right away in case you don’t want to bring negative luck into your home.
Throw away broken mirrors immediately. Don’t even think about keeping larger mirrors, believing that they will be sufficient to view your reflection. A disaster could occur to your family members without warning.
For final consideration, be mindful regarding the decor of your home and the placement of different things within your home. Make sure you follow the guidance of a Vastu expert since you’d like to live in a happy and peaceful environment. There should be nothing that stands against financial prosperity, happiness, and tranquility.
