This is the right place to keep family photos in the house

Are you someone who loves framing memories as photographs and loves placing them around the house, but do you know which is the ideal place to keep the photos? Well, if you don’t know where exactly you must put family photos to attract positivity and harmony among the family, then read on to find out…

What does Vastu Shastra say?

According to the books of Vastu Shastra, which is the ancient Indian science of architecture and energy flow, it is believed that every part of the house holds a different energy and it is important to place photographs and family photos in specific home areas to harness positive prana, enhance familial bonds, prosperity, and overall well-being. It is also believed that misplaced images can also disrupt harmony, while correct positioning of photographs can align with directional energies ruled by planets like Mercury for communication and the Sun for vitality.

Living Room

The living room, according to the Vastu Shastra, is the heart of unity and makes for the prime place for family photos, especially on the north, east, or northeast walls. In fact, these directions are influenced by Mercury and the Sun, and placing pictures in these areas and on these walls can promote open communication, vitality, and joyful interactions. Hang vibrant group shots and capture laughter or celebration pictures here to amplify togetherness, growth, and positive guest energies, ensuring faces face inward to draw prana inside the home.

Southwest Corner

According to the books of Vastu Shastra, this part is known as the Pitru Sthaan (ancestral zone), and placing the pictures on the southwest strengthens relationships, marital bliss, and lineage stability. Position full family portraits or wedding photos on Southwest walls, facing the room's center, to deepen emotional ties and foster security.

West Walls

As per Vastu, the western direction of the house is governed by Saturn's grounding influence that suits nostalgic images like childhood snapshots or vacation memories. These walls hold the power to cultivate inner peace and life lessons without overwhelming daily routines. Opt for serene, smaller frames to symbolize accumulated wisdom, promoting emotional balance and restful home atmospheres.
