Master bedroom may be located in south-west of the house. This room should be used by the head of the family and eldest son of the family. South portion is also recommended for eldest son bedroom. If there is more than one floor, the head of the family should have his bedroom in south-west direction on first floor. This bedroom should not be used
by young children otherwise

A west sided bedroom is good for children. An eastern bedroom can be used for children. But this room should not be used by newly wed couples because it can cause
unnecessary quarrel between the couple. Teenager girls should have their bedrooms in north-west
direction. The bedroom should not be constructed in central portion of the house or in basement as it may lead to mental tension. Also bedroom should not be constructed above porch and kitchen. An attached bathroom can be in north-west or south-east of bedroom.

God in bedroom.

bedroom means to avoid unnecessary quarrels between the couple.
Tips for Vastu Bedroom
As a general rule of vastu, south-west corner of bedroom should not be left empty. Always keep heavy things, furniture etc. in this portion in every room.
South-west side of the house and of all rooms inside the house should always be heavier than the East and north-east side. Maximum open space should be left in north-east side of the room and house.
Nobodys bedroom should be exactly in the middle of the building. Some buildings do not get proper east-west and north-south directions. They have corners only. In bed rooms of such buildings, for getting the proper direction, one should not put his bed in an oblique position.
