When sitting at a table one needs enough space so that one can eat comfortably.

A place for the Dining Table: The best place for the dining table is in the center of the room. Avoid touching dining table with walls as it is easier to sit on all the chairs. In case, the dining table touches the wall, make sure only one side gets covered, and rest of the space is free and spacious enough to sit.

Way to sit on the Table: Vastu also give guidelines on how to sit on the table. When it comes to sitting on the dining table, one should sit facing east, north or west side. The head of the family must take the east side, and the rest of the family can sit facing east or north or west side. It is considered good when the sun rays enter directly from east direction and brighten up the day.

Things to Avoid: In a house, all the rooms are adjoining and interconnected. Make sure to construct bathroom away from the dining room as it is considered very unhygienic and uncomfortable to eat near a bathroom. Also, in case the door of the bathroom is left open, the foul smell is very uncomfortable to bear, thus avoiding dining room near bathrooms is best.

Door for the Dining Room: The door of the dining room must not be facing the entrance door. It is very awkward when people from outside can watch a person or the family eating. So, keeping the entrance door away from the dining room door is the best. Also, the best directions to fix the door are east, north and west directions.

Colours for the Dining Room Walls: The Dining room is meant to be a place where hunger strikes and stomach gets fulfilled. It is a place where family members eat and rejoice. The appropriate colours for the room can be light blue, yellow, saffron, peach, light green or light shades of pink and orange. Using these shades stimulate the appetite and also make the look bright, big and interesting.

Wall Decors: There is no room in the house that is free from wall decors apart from a store room.

When it comes to the dining room, a person can always hang nature related paintings, food related paintings or posters, and famous chef’s painting with motivational quotes. Vastu Shastra advises hanging nature paintings as they give a calming effect on the mind and make a person feel relaxed and at peace while eating.

Placement for Wash Basin: Earlier, people used to have a small wash basin in the dining room to make it easy to clean hands and mouth after eating.

Having a basin in these sides makes it easy to reach the wash basin and also the sun rays coming from east side keeps the water pure.
