Keeping some attractive items at Living room is recommended, don't place the cheap items, some may interested to keep materials like palladium or silver or wood. Better to choose only the costly items. Don't bring the low-cost competitive price items.

The low priced items has bad and negative vibe. Can buy the vivid items but they should be pricey. If residents compulsory needs then they may keep the adorable images like God Photos etc there.

Maintain good colour to the living room. Light colors mix with dark colors looks great, see the above room with furniture. There is two color mixing. Dark color to South direction wall and light color to West direction wall, in this small photo everything may not visible, but the practical vision is really nice looking.

Television (TV) placements as per Vastu:

Observe the TV positions in the living room, many residents placed the Television towards South or West walls. Some arranged the great showcases and in that there is an availability of TV placement, looks very nice, but for vastu Shastra purpose this is not good system. TV may be best suitable towards North or East directions. Please note that TV is good for retired or old aged people, it is not advised for the children or young age people, it is a waste box. The exact placement of TV may be in the storeroom, not in the living room. With or without our knowledge it steals our valuable time. Beware of this time thief. Recliners are good to place in living rooms.

Keeping the Music System in the Living Room:

Keeping the TV is towards North, East or Northeast is always good. Generally, we sit at sofa sets and watching the Television, this is natural in almost all homes, so we will take rest by seating towards South, West or Southwest to watch TV shows if the Television is towards East, North or Northeast. But regarding music system, there is no need to watch anything, it's only listening. So you may place it very near to your seat which the resident generally take rest, i.e., Southwest, South or West. So you may keep the Sound Music box towards South, West or Southwest. All these directions are not convenient for you to keep music system then you may place at anywhere in the room except Northeast part of the room.

Placements Of Exercise Items

The elliptical machines and other exercise machines are best suitable towards Southeast, Northwest etc. If these are heavy in weight then place them towards Southwest parts of the house. Some are heavy gauge and weight they are best to place towards Southwest or West or South of any room. All exercise items are good to keep towards Southwest parts.
