Verandahs or the first rooms into the structure can be in the east or north. Have a proper main door or mahadwara as advised in an earlier chapter.

Mirrors can be placed on the east and/or north walls to reflect the spaciousness of the verandah.

The general emphasis should be on more expanse on to your right, as you enter, than to your left. Let the east or north walls (to your left) have a mirror to reflect the spaciousness of the verandah. You can have the heavy furniture and heavy plants arranged in the south and west

(1) and light furniture and flower plants to the north and east. Let the shoe-rack

2) be in the north-west of the verandah. Have large windows on the north and east walls. Of course have a main door (mahadwara), as discussed in an earlier chapter.
