One of the first things that you notice while entering a home, apart from the entryway and decor, is the flooring. Elements like the entryway, the ceiling, the furniture, the decor arrangement and the flooring, all come together to make the perfect home and thus, we keep an eye out for these things. While we may not give much credit to the flooring in our house, it does comprise an important part of home decor and Vaastu. It’s often said that choosing the right flooring for your home not only adds to the aesthetic value but also plays a key role in ensuring longevity and financial stability.
For the uninitiated, Vaastu is the ancient science of architecture that has been a part of construction in Indian culture for centuries. It reflects our belief and faith in this science since times immemorial. There are numerous ideas in this discipline that instruct how a certain portion of the house should be. However, we understand that not every diktat can be incorporated. Thus, we have made a list of a few Vaastu tips for flooring and how they could be useful for those planning to buy or redecorate their homes.

If one decides to get inlay work done on the floor, they should be careful that it does not cut unevenly at the edges as it may affect financial growth.
It is advised that one must avoid gaps in the flooring as it can affect the health of the inmates.
