Principle
Ceiling Colour: Keep It White, Never Red or Brown
The ceiling belongs to the space element, so it should stay white, or natural wood colour for wooden ceilings; red or brown on the ceiling sets fire to space and brings trouble.
Principle
Anti-Element Colours Matter Only When the Whole Room Is That Colour
A colour counts as an anti-element only when the entire room or zone is done in it; a small item of about 10 percent of the volume creates no dosh.
What it does
Stops needless fear over small coloured objects such as stones, book covers, clothes or a deity's dress.

Cautions
- Do not panic over a small red cloth in the North-East, a red jasper in a West study or coloured book covers
Explanation and notes
Nobody refuses to sleep in the South because of a blue shirt, or stops visiting a North-facing house because of a red jacket; women in red bangles or red sarees do not avoid the North, and nobody skips puja because of red clothes. Children's books come in blue, red and green covers alike. The same applies to the clothes of the deity: they need not follow the zone colour.

Principle
Human Body as the Model for Vastu Placements
The human body, imagined facing East, is built like the Vastu Purush Mandal, and the position of each body function shows where the matching part of a house belongs.
Principle
Toilet in Vedic Vastu: Outside the Foundation, Never Attached
Vedic Vastu texts assign no place to a toilet inside the house and say its wall should not even touch the house foundation; toilets were built outside, and palaces placed them at the rear in the West-North-West.
Principle
Toilet Effects in Each of the 16 Zones
Zone-by-zone results of a toilet: SSW and WNW are workable, NW and ESE only in an emergency, and every other zone damages what that zone governs.
Principle
Toilet Never in Brahmasthan, Opposite Main Door or Kitchen, or Under Stairs
Four positions are forbidden for a toilet whatever the zone: the Brahmasthan, directly opposite the main door, directly opposite the kitchen and under the staircase.
Remedy
Toilet Seat Facing North or South to Halve a Toilet Dosh
Turning the toilet seat so the user faces North or South, never East or West, corrects about half the dosh of a toilet even when it stands in a wrong zone.
Principle
Toilet Interior: Glazed Tiles, Ventilation, Grey-White Colour, No Mirror
A toilet should be lined with glazed ceramic tiles, well ventilated, kept in white or grey, and should have no mirror facing the seat.
Remedy
Toilet Routine: Left Nostril Closed, Teeth Clenched, Footstool at 35 Degrees
Sitting on the toilet with the left nostril closed, the teeth pressed together and the feet raised on a small footstool clears the bowels in seconds and protects the teeth and stomach.
Remedy
Sea Sand, Alum and Salt Glass Bowl for Toilet Dosh
A glass bowl layered with sea sand, alum, salt and sea sand again, kept in the toilet where the air flows out, absorbs the negativity of the toilet.
