“Designing the Social Heart of the Home”

Dr. Nishigandha Chaudhari
•
Founder & Director, ANUKUL Health & Vastu Clinic

The living room is where the private home meets the social world.


It may be used for


  • Family conversations

  • Guests

  • Entertainment

  • Reading

  • Relaxation

  • Festivals

  • Celebrations

Traditional Vastu discusses room direction, seating and spatial arrangements.


  • ANUKUL Living Room Principles

  • Clear movement

People should be able to move without constantly navigating around furniture.

Comfortable seating

Furniture should encourage conversation rather than isolate family members.

Light

Natural light can make the space more pleasant.

Ventilation

Air movement matters.

Noise

Televisions and entertainment systems should not dominate every moment.

Clutter

A visually overloaded room can feel stressful.

Bring Nature Inside

Plants, where suitable, can add visual connection with nature.


But plants should be selected according to


  • Climate

  • Light

  • Maintenance

  • Safety

  • Allergies

A living room should make people want to live—not simply impress visitors.
