Bring calm and balance to the place your family lives. Vedang Joshi advises on apartments, villas, townhouses and rented homes across the UAE, and on homes you're about to buy. Every recommendation is practical and non-demolition, from finding the right home to settling in and planning for each stage of family life.
Residential Vastu applies Vastu Shastra to the homes people live in: apartments, villas, townhouses and rented homes. It checks the main entrance, master bedroom, kitchen, children's rooms, prayer space and the open centre of the home, then balances each zone through furniture placement, colour, lighting and element remedies. In the UAE, residential Vastu is non-demolition, so it suits high-rise towers and rentals as well as villas and new purchases.
Non-demolition fixes for studios, family apartments and penthouses, including rentals. Every remedy works in a high-rise tower without touching a wall.
If you live in an apartment, start with apartment Vastu. Villa owners start with villa Vastu. If you're buying or renting, check the floor plan first. Moving, a new baby, working from home and renovations are covered on this page.
In the UAE, most families move every few years, whether to a bigger rental, a first purchase or a villa. The cheapest time to apply Vastu is before you sign, when you can still choose between homes. After that, it shapes how you set up and settle in.

As your family grows
Vastu for every stage of family life
Homes change as families grow, and these are the moments when people most often ask about Vastu.
Newly married
The master bedroom in the south-west zone, with the bed head towards the south or east, sets a settled base. Couples often pair this with a griha pravesh Muhurat.
The nursery or baby's corner works best in a calm, well-lit room, with the cot head towards the east or south. Keep electronics away from the sleeping area.
Place the desk facing north or east, ideally in the north, east or west of the home rather than in the bedroom. A defined workspace helps separate work and rest.
A room in the south-west or south suits elders: stable, quieter and on the ground floor in villas where possible. Keep paths clear and well lit for safety.
This is traditional guidance for comfort and balance, not a substitute for medical, childcare or safety advice.
Interiors and renovation
Planning interiors or a renovation? Bring Vastu in early
The best time to apply Vastu to a home is before the interior designer finalises the layout, colours and joinery. Vedang reviews the plan, marks up the furniture layout and zone colours, and can join a call with your designer, so Vastu is built in rather than added later. For villas, this extends to extensions, kitchens, pools and landscaping.
Heavier furniture and curtains on the hot west and south suit both Vastu and comfort. It's one of the places where tradition and building physics agree.
How much does a home Vastu consultation cost in Dubai?

Home Vastu FAQ
Questions about residential Vastu
What is residential Vastu?
Residential Vastu applies Vastu Shastra to the homes people live in: apartments, villas, townhouses and rented homes. It balances the entrance, bedrooms, kitchen, children's rooms, prayer space and the centre of the home through placement, colour, lighting and element remedies.
When is the best time to do Vastu for a new home?
Before you sign or pay a booking amount, while you can still choose between homes. After that, the next best time is at handover, before furniture goes in, followed by a griha pravesh Muhurat.
Where should a baby's room or cot be as per Vastu?
A calm, well-lit room works best, with the cot head towards the east or south and away from electronics. In apartments, the quietest bedroom that isn't the master usually suits a nursery.
Where should a home office be as per Vastu?
Ideally in the north, east or west of the home, with the desk facing north or east and a solid wall behind. Avoid working from the bed or the master bedroom where possible.
Which room suits elderly parents as per Vastu?
The south-west or south of the home is traditionally recommended for elders, as it's stable and quieter. In villas, a ground-floor room is usually more practical. Keep paths clear and well lit.
Can you work with my interior designer?
Yes. Vedang shares a marked-up plan with zones, furniture positions and colour palettes, and can join a call with your designer, so Vastu is built into the design rather than added later.
Do I need a separate consultation for each home I'm considering?
No. A unit comparison report reviews two or three shortlisted homes side by side, and the free 3-point snapshot covers a single floor plan.
Send your floor plan and a line about your home. Vedang will recommend the right consultation and confirm your quote, usually within 2 hours, Mon–Sat, 9 am–8 pm.
