Vastu, an ancient Indian science of architecture and design, is widely used for commercial spaces to ensure the overall well-being and prosperity of the business. It is based on the principles of balance and harmony between the elements of nature and the built environment.

The basic rule of Vastu for commercial spaces is the proper placement of the main entrance. The entrance should be located in the most auspicious direction for the inflow of positive energy, suitable for the type of business out of the marked 32 directions as prescribed in vastu shastra. Additionally, the entrance should be well-lit and open, with no obstructions blocking the way.

One of the key principles of Vastu is the alignment of a building with the cardinal directions. According to Vastu principles, it is not a thumb rule to place everybody in the north and east directions which are said to be auspicious for commercial spaces, as they are associated with new opportunities & connectivity and the south and west directions are considered inauspicious, as they are associated with instability and decline, which is a myth as west direction is the most sought for direction for getting the gains and south is considered for fame and recognition. 

Another important aspect of Vastu for commercial spaces is the placement of different rooms and areas within the building. It is advisable to first balance the space using bar chart analysis first. The most important is, the cashier’s area, which should be located in the south-east direction as it is the direction for cash flow.

Vastu also places importance on the use of colors and materials in commercial spaces. According to Vastu, each direction represents a certain color such as white, blue, green, red, yellow etc. which are used to balance and promote a sense of calm and productivity. Similarly, natural materials such as metals,wood, plastics and stone are considered auspicious.

The use of Vastu principles in commercial spaces is not limited to new constructions, it can also be applied to existing spaces, and can be done through simple modifications such as moving furniture, using certain colors or plants.

In conclusion, Vastu Shastra is an ancient system of architecture and design that can be applied to commercial spaces to promote success and prosperity in business. By aligning a building with the cardinal directions, placing different rooms and areas in auspicious locations, and using auspicious colors and materials, Vastu can create a harmonious and positive energy in a commercial space that is conducive to success and prosperity. Every individual must use the principles of vastu as an additional tool for success in business.
