If you are redesigning your home or designing the home from scratch, then you must know that direction plays an important role. In Vastu, the direction has an important role because the wrong placement of things or space can bring immense negativity to home. In the early days, people used to check the direction in all aspects, like the shadow of the sun. However, as times have changed professionals use tools to find the right direction while designing the home space. A tool like a Compass 360 degrees can really help in finding the right direction while designing the space or placing any items.
