In Vastu, even the smallest structural elements have a profound impact on the flow of energy within a space. While walls and directions are widely discussed, the placement and design of columns, beams, and ceilings also hold immense importance in ensuring a balanced and positive environment. At Aaryaastroscience, we delve deep into these overlooked architectural components to help you build or renovate a space that radiates harmony, health, and prosperity.

Importance of Columns and Beams in Vastu
Columns and beams are not just structural necessities—they are energy conductors. Improper placement or alignment can block the natural flow of energy (Prana), leading to stress, health issues, or financial obstacles.
Vastu Tips for Columns:
- Avoid placing a central column (Brahmasthan): This is the energetic heart of any property and should be left open and unobstructed.
- Columns should preferably be in even numbers (2, 4, 6, etc.), as odd-numbered columns can cause imbalance.
- Square or rectangular columns are ideal. Avoid circular or overly decorative shapes that disrupt energy fields.
Vastu Tips for Beams:
- Exposed beams directly above the bed, dining table, or seating areas should be avoided as they exert downward pressure and create mental stress.
- Conceal beams within the ceiling using false ceilings for a smooth, balanced finish.
- Ensure that beams run in the north-south or east-west direction, as diagonal placement may lead to energy distortion.
At Aaryaastroscience, we always recommend clients consult before finalizing any beam layouts to maintain energetic alignment.
Vastu for Ceiling Design: Elevate the Energy
Ceilings are like the sky element of your indoor space. They reflect how open, clear, or suppressed your mental space can feel.
Vastu Tips for Ceilings:
- Flat ceilings are preferred. Avoid sloping or irregular shapes unless customized as per Vastu correction.
- False ceilings should not be too low, as they can compress energy and create discomfort.
- The center ceiling (Brahmasthan) should be higher and kept plain. Avoid hanging chandeliers or fans right in the center.
- In bedrooms, two-level ceilings can be used to segregate sleeping and reading zones energetically.
Ceiling colors should also align with the room’s direction. At Aaryaastroscience, we offer color-based Vastu recommendations for ceilings to further enhance harmony.
