The main door should be in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th pada of North — the most auspicious zone. The next-best option is the North-East quadrant for the door.

Master bedroom in South-West, pooja room in North-East, kitchen in South-East, living room in North-West or North, study/office in North or East, children's bedroom in West.
