Best Vastu advice for Stairs
Vastu Advice for Stairs: Stairs become an essential space for easy movement from one floor to another in homes and apartments. Some of the alternatives to stairs are lifts or elevators, stairlifts, and inclined walkways, as well as fixed inclined walkways, but the importance and availability of stairs cannot be undermined. The failure of these systems (mechanical breakdown or power failure) makes stairs an indispensable part of the home. The three possible sections of the staircase are square, circular, and rectangular; however, in modern times, there are many types of stairs in vogue.
Why Stair Vastu is Important: As per the principles of Stair Vastu Shastra, stairs not only bring harmony, peace of mind, and financial stability, but also emphasize smooth movement from one level to another quickly, easily, comfortably, and safely.

“Best Tips for Stairs—Vastu Shastra“
1- Placement of stairs according to Vastu: The most suitable location and direction for stairs according to Vastu is South, West, or South-West. Stairs in the Northeast corner (Ishan Kon) can create problems in your financial matters. Hence, you should not build stairs in the Northeast corner and Brahmasthan. You should ensure that the stairs have proper lighting and ventilation.
2- Vastu Shastra recommends installing east- or north-facing doors for stairs. Doors should be installed only at the starting and ending points of the stairs.
3- Clockwise Vastu Advice for stairs: Stairs should turn to the right, i.e., from left to right only. In other words, stairs should always be clockwise. Hence, the best turning is from East to South, South to West, West to North, and North to East.
4- Vastu Shastra Stairs in Brahmasthan: Stairs in Brahmasthan (center of the house) are inauspicious. You should avoid the stairs right in front of the entrance.
5- Stairs outside the house: Stairs outside the house should not cross the main door.
6- Do not make any room like a Puja room, kitchen, bathroom, study room, or vault under the stairs.
7- Vastu Shastra Stairs should be in odd numbers, i.e., these should not be in even numbers. As per Vastu Shastra rules for stairs, divide the number of stairs (rise) by 3 and forget the quotient, if the remainder is 2, then the staircase is best. So the number of stairs should be 5, 11, 17, etc.
The color of the stairs should be light, but avoid black and red colors.
8- The topmost stairs should be covered with a roof called Mamti for safety reasons.
9- Avoid circular stairs: Always keep the stairs in good working condition. Get the stairs repaired immediately; otherwise, it may lead to mental stress, family discord, physical injury, etc.
10- You should start entering and climbing the new floor with your right foot.
11- Avoid common stairs to go upstairs and to the basement.
12- A patient should not be kept in the room where the stairs begin or end.
Apart from the above Vastu Shastra recommendations for stairs, a good staircase should also be provided with railings to provide support, comfort, and safety to the users.
