Designers these days prefer uneven floors instead of leveled floor to provide a modern and different look to the interiors. Such experiments are mainly done in the entry, lobby, drawing room, living room, dining area or guest bedroom where it is constructed a bit lower than the house flooring. Expert SK Mehta lists certain factors to be kept in mind while getting this kind of construction done.
- If the floor of the north, east or North East direction is a bit lower compared to the other areas of the house, this is considered lucky.
- Always keep the bedroom or any other room situated in the South or West zone a bit high because this gives favourable results and is considered lucky.
- The floor level difference should be balanced. It should not be too low as a downfall pit or not too high.
- As per vastu rules, the front portion of the house should be constructed low and the back area should be on a higher point. Hence a main gate facing north or east facing is considered good.
- While creating steps on floor ensure it is not cut from any direction because this may cause various vastu issues.
- More than two uneven flooring in the entire house should be avoided because it can attract negative energies to the house.
- While planning stepwise construction of floors, ensure that the ceiling is leveled appropriately because it is considered auspicious.
- To attract positive energies, opt for stepwise flooring only for the basement and ground floor rooms.
