Flats are small and a half-moon sofa set does not fit in the North. Can a rectangular arrangement be used?
Yes. A rectangular arrangement can go anywhere, because the earth element is present everywhere.

A relative's flat had its door at E1. After buying the adjoining flat and removing the common wall the entrance came onto N4, and soon their ancestral land was acquired for a bullet-train project and they received crores. Is this the N4 effect?
Yes, this is chhappar phaad wealth, which comes as soon as N4 opens. E3, N4 and W4 are the three vipul sampada dwar (abundant-wealth doors). Opening them virtually gives perhaps 1 percent of the actual result, so do not believe the heavy promotion of virtual doors; it is the actual opening that brings the result.
Can a nandavart dwar be made in a flat?

Can a rectangular shape be used in the North?
It is better avoided. In the North, choose a half-moon type shape as far as possible.
Can the road-opening painting be used in flats?
Yes, if there is a dead end it can be made in a flat too, but first see what needs opening. If a direction such as the North or East is completely closed, it can also be opened this way.
If furniture made by carpenters is placed on a devta's pad, does it affect the devta?
All 45 devta places cannot be left empty, or there would be nowhere to live or keep things in a house or flat. The Vedic texts say to protect the ashtamansh (one-eighth part of the pad); wooden items kept on any devta's place, even on a marma, are not counted as a dosh, because wood does not sink in water but floats. Besides, the devta's place lies beneath us, and the devta is basically a particular energy.
In a three-floor building our North toilet was removed, but the upper floor's toilet is still above our North; does it affect us?
It falls under surrounding (assisting) vastu and affects you about 10 percent. Its energy can be treated and blocked if you can reach it. Do not build a temple in that North spot; at least never keep God beneath a toilet seat.
