The five elements of nature - earth, water, fire, air, and sky are arranged within a specific space according to the ancient Indian science of vastu shastra in order to balance all of the energy. There are several things that, according to some beliefs, boost the home's bad energy and undermine the residents' ability to live in harmony, serenity, and happiness. Therefore, we must ensure that our homes not only encourage comfort and beauty but also tranquillity and happiness. Check out the list of the top 5 unlucky home decor items that bring misfortune and poverty to the house. 

Top 5 Unlucky Home Decor Items As Per Vastu 

1. Thorny Plants - Cactus cultivation inside homes is strictly forbidden by Vastu. Thorns are regarded by Vastu as poison arrows that shoot negative energy in all directions. The only exception to this rule is roses, which should not be used as decor. 

2. Sad, Angry Or Scary Paintings/Idols - Images of dejected and weeping individuals, sinking boats, nudity, sword fights, hunting scenes, indrajal (magic), captured elephants, and barren trees are all seen as unlucky in vastu. Hence, one should not keep them at home.

3. Broken/Stopped Wall Clocks - According to Vastu, keeping broken or stopped clocks at home can be extremely unfortunate. The concept is based on the idea that everything evolves as time goes on. If you have a broken or stopped clock in your house, you can bring bad karma and tragedy with you.  

4. Dry And Dead Plants - One of the unlucky items to not keep at home are dead or dried plants. The beneficial energy that a plant brings in while it is alive is said to be taken away as it dies or dries up. As a result, it is considered unlucky to keep a dried-out or dead plant at home. Furthermore, the negative energy these plants emit might contribute to an unfavourable atmosphere in the home.

5. Water Fountain - It is advised against keeping certain unfortunate items at home, such as a water fountain. A water fountain in the household is said to encourage water to flow and be present there, which is thought to bring about monetary losses and other unpleasant feelings. If you currently have a water fountain in your home, it is advisable that you move it to a common space outside the home.
