Living Room Vastu Tips
Living Room Vastu Tips:

This could be a great site of living area for families who want to avoid late night parties and get-together.

If you – and your family – have very active social life and just love your guests to stay too long (which could be difficult to manage at times) then you can locate your living room here.
