South-West-facing house Vastu
The south-west is the earth zone, best kept heavy and closed. Most Vastu schools treat a south-west entrance as the most challenging, but remedies exist.
Main entrance facing South-West
Best avoided: Widely considered the most unfavourable entrance.
Remedy: Keep the entrance bright; fix a brass or copper strip along the threshold; avoid dark colours on the door.
