Pooja Room Vastu
Even someone who does not strictly believe in Vastu will prefer that the Pooja should be located in the North-east— the ideal direction according to the rules of this ancient science. If your house layout doesn’t permit this exact location, try to place the Pooja in the North or East, and avoid other directions as far as possible. Traditionally, this room should not share a wall with the toilet and should not be located below the staircase. Also, for those who cook non-vegetarian food at home, the Pooja should not be located near the kitchen.

Latest Pooja Room Doors
The doors of the pooja are traditionally ornamental, carved masterpieces in wood. Tiny bells in brass or bell metal, like in the picture below, produce a lovely tinkling sound that harmonizes with the ancient vibrations of the earth and creates a sense of positive energy. 
Bells, Camphor and Incense Sticks for Pooja Room
Bells have a distinctive significance in the Indian pooja ritual. Not only are they found on the doors of the Pooja, but hanging bells or standalone bells are hung in temples or mandirs in front of (or to the side of) the idols.
The auspicious sound of the bell has a deep meaning attached to it— it is supposed to dispel negativity and symbolizes the sacred divine. Sound energy is powerful, indeed, and the pure, bright tones of a bell have a calming modality that raises our own vibrations and rebalances the connection between our mind and body. Ringing the bell is a part of performing Aarti and other traditional rituals. Burning camphor and incense is also an essential part of Hindu worship.
Marble and Granite in the Pooja Room Walls
Many Pooja room walls are clad in white marble or black granite, and this has a functional aspect to it besides adding the traditional aesthetic. The surface on which we light lamps and burn incense should be as easy to clean as possible, and these natural materials can be wiped clean easily. To resonate with Mother Earth typically, synthetic materials are not used in the Pooja area. Fabrics such as silks are often used to drape the deities, and this adds to the richness of this sacred space.
Panchaloha Idols
Panchaloha is a traditional alloy made with five pure metals that have a sacred significance. Your Pooja should have idols and figurines of deities that are made of this alloy, to usher in all the good things in life; peace, prosperity, comfort and health!
