When preparing the architectural plan for a house, it is very important to place the staircase in the right place and direction.

The stairs should begin from the north towards the south and east towards the west. A staircase in any corner except west or south brings losses. Vastu has some norms scripted for the staircase which must be followed for a successful and healthy life.
