As people started to spend more money in constructing houses now than ever, houses with multiple floors have become a norm. This naturally asks for multiple stairs to be built to bridge the gap between there floors. Now, there is a wide plethora of shapes and materials available for people looking to build a house. However, since Vastu is an important element in building a house, care must be taken to ensure that the blueprint of your stairs conforms to various Vastu elements and guidelines.

In order to make sure that your stair does not pose any threat to the house, the lives and endeavors of the people living in the house, certain aspects have to be taken care of.
