Typically a south-facing home gets sun for most of the day, especially at the front of the house, and is therefore usually brighter and warmer. A north-facing home gets sun at the back of the house and is typically darker and naturally cooler than a south-facing one.
People also ask, what is the best direction for your house to face?
The prime direction for your home to face is either South Facing or East Facing! Both of these positions receive a large amount of natural and direct light which might be a little warm in the summer depending where you live, but it will help with heating costs in the winter!
Simply so, which direction should your house face as per Vastu?
According to Vastu Shastra, the main entrance to a home is not only the entry point for the family, but also for energy. Considered as the “archway to victory and progress in life”, the main door should face north, east or in the north-east direction.
Good orientation starts with the position of the lot in relation to the east and west sides. Normally the lot dictates the shape and orientation of the building, therefore the ideal lot should have the long side facing the north and south axis, while the short side faces the east-west axis.
