1. Bamboo
We would suggest tying a red ribbon around the bamboo plant if considering getting it for yourself for good luck. Bamboo, in Vastu Shastra, represents wood and the red ribbon denotes fire. They together represent the perfect balance in life.
While a bamboo plant shall sit anywhere in the house, however, if you keep bamboo in the east direction, its presence will enhance the family’s health aspects besides obviously adding to the aesthetics of your home.
2. Buddha
Buddha or laughing Buddha statue, when placed in the southeast direction of the house, is said to bring good fortune, peace, success, and health. The best thing about Buddha decor is the fact that Buddha statues are available in multiple shapes also called Mudras. A mudra is simply a position that Buddha used to sit in while meditating. For example – Anjali Mudra, Varada Mudra, Karana Mudra and many more.
All these postures signify a distinct deed and ultimately all of them help one get closer to Nirvana.
3. Burn sage
Burning white sage is said to ward off the negative energy from one’s vicinity faster than anything else. Besides Vastu benefits, sage’s smoke also helps remove bacteria plaguing the air while repelling insects and improving the overall intuition of the home.
4. Tortoise
Our expert astrologers usually advice people to wear a turtle ring. Why is that? The benefits of wearing a tortoise ring are most celebrated in Chinese astrology. Tortoise, in Chinese mythology, is said to bring longevity and positive energy to the household.

Also, there are multiple types of tortoise figurines with each ruling a specific direction. The best days to place a tortoise at home are Wednesdays and Fridays.
5. Dreamcatcher
A dreamcatcher, if you didn’t know, usually finds a place over the bed of small children to ensure bad dreams don’t plague their peace of mind.
As per Vastu, dreamcatcher has that spider web design that allows only good dreams to pass through and reach the child through the feathers tucked with the same. So if you have children at home, you can consider investing in a dreamcatcher for Vastu benefits.
6. Water Fountain
As per the best Vastu practices for home, if not a water fountain, you can consider investing in a painting that showcases a river flowing to attract positive energy.
However, when you decide to place a water fountain in the house, make sure it is always in the north direction. Also, never ever place the fountain in the south, southeast or in the west of your home. You can also consider placing a Buddha statue by the fountain for enhanced results.
7. Salt Lamp
You must have heard of the detoxifying benefits of salt baths. Have you? Just like a salt bath can detox your body, similarly, salt lamps, especially pink Himalayan salt lamps, can detox your surroundings.

However, watch out for squirrels for they love acorns and wouldn’t mind stealing one.
9. Crystals
Crystals are very lucky things to keep in bedroom. There are multiple types of crystals that can be placed in different parts of the home. For example, Carnelian and Apatite crystals are best placed in the kitchen as they help with creativity. Similarly, Azurite and Pyrite promote wealth and focus.For love, a crystal named Rose quartz can be placed in your home. Nine Carnelian crystals, meanwhile, help in enhancing an open-minded approach.
10. Horseshoe
Another lucky thing for home as per Vastu is a horseshoe. The Irish legend behind a horseshoe being lucky is that once there was a blacksmith and a devil. One day the blacksmith was working at his shop when the devil approached him and demanded a shoe for himself.
11.The blacksmith, recognizing the devil, offered him a burning hot shoe, which he happily took and wore. After walking away, the devil felt the heat and he ripped the horseshoes off and swore to never wear them again. Since then, placing horseshoe in ‘U’ shape on the entrance has become a tradition. No points for guessing why.
