Vastu Tips For Your Child’s Study Room

Do you see your child studying diligently in their study room, investing much effort, yet not achieving the results they deserve? Meanwhile, your neighbour’s child seems to be excelling in their studies effortlessly.

Spaces are metaphors of one’s mind, and according to Vastu Shastra, spaces need to be in perfect harmony with the universe to create a positive & conductive aura, which eventually shapes the mindset of the person working in it & children, out of all, are the most vulnerable to the atmosphere around them. In order to excel in their studies & grow an uncluttered, articulative mind, they need a supportive atmosphere that complements their hard work.

While you may not be able to monitor your children at school, you can make a significant difference when they’re at home. By fixing the vastu of the study room, you can create an environment that supports their learning and growth. The direction of the study room, the placement of the study table, and even where your child sits while studying all contribute to the Vastu of the room and can potentially enhance your child’s studies.

Let’s discuss some of the essential vastu tips for study rooms!

Right Direction For Better Results

The study room’s directions, the study table’s placement, and where your child sits while studying all impact the child’s concentration level and eventually affect his performance.

Here are some tips for choosing the right direction:-

• The ideal vastu for the study room is either east or west of the house, while north is the second best direction to have a study room in.
• When studying, the child should always face the east or the north.
• His trophies, medals and certificates should all be placed on the east or north wall.
• The study table shouldn’t have any cabinets or beams above it.
• Do not clutter the east & north walls, try keeping it light. Instead, place the cupboard and almirahs with the south & west walls.
• A computer should either be placed southeast or northwest of the table.

Keep Distractions Away

Things around the study table can most likely distract children’s minds. So, you have to choose what to keep and what not to precisely.

Following are some suggestive things you shall keep away from the desk:-

• Don’t keep the wall in front of the study table empty; it becomes dull and makes the kid feel lethargic.. Hang something like a motivational poster or a timetable to encourage the child.
• The shape of the table should be either rectangular or square, made with a good quality of wood. It should not be broken & should not have much wear & tear.
• The books should not be stacked on the study table but in a closed cabinet.
• No mirror should be kept near the study table, it should not be visible to your child as it becomes a big distraction.
• There should be a table lamp on the left side of the study table for a good amount of light without any hindrance.
• You can keep clear quartz on the study table, which is usually associated with clarity of mind and purity of thought.
• An open area before the study is usually preferred to expand thoughts & imagination.
• Do not keep a door behind the study table.
• Keep the room balanced. It should not be cluttered or empty, as both extremes can kill the enthusiasm and auspiciousness of the space.

Avoid The Study Room Blues

Colours set the vibe of the room & play an important role in creating the environment of the place. Wrong colours can either make the room feel cluttered or too much happening.

Here are some tips to keep in mind while choosing the colours for the room:-

• The colours of the study rooms’ walls are decided according to the room’s direction.
• Pastel colours should be used to paint the walls of the study room, as they create a positive environment.
• You can use yellow & off-white colour for an eastern room & violet for a north-eastern
• Pastel green is advised for a north-facing room. These colours radiate positive energy and help the child concentrate.
• Do not use pop colours in a study room. Though you can use vibrant colours as accents, don't overuse them in any way; it will affect the concentration level.

These rules of vastu shastra can also be used in reading rooms or any place where you work on academics.

Turn It In The Right Direction

You don't want the universe to create hindrance in the growth of your children, & by fixing the vastu of the study room, you accentuate the results of their hard work.

It’s only during school time that children start developing thoughts and opinions with a conscious mind. To ensure they develop an articulated and concentrative conscience, you have to provide them with a positive and conducive environment.

You can't control the spaces outside with vastu appropriateness, but wherever you have the hold over it, make sure you do it right.
