ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION

Make sure your basement has a provision of sunlight and plenty of fresh air. For this, it is suggested to build the roof of the basement at least 2-3 feet above the ground. 

Don’t IGNORE THE SHAPE

According to Vastu, build a regular shape of the basement i.e. square or rectangle. Don’t go for funky spaces as they can harm your wealth and health.

KNOW THE HEIGHT OF THE WALLS

The walls of the basement should be a minimum of 9 feet. More volume and space in the basement will create a chance of lesser negativity.

KNOW WHERE TO PLACE HEAVY OBJECTS

Don’t place heavy articles in the north, east or northeast direction. Any heavy-weighted object can be placed only in the south direction of the basement.

COLOURS ARE ALSO IMPORTANT
