VASTU TIPS FOR KITCHEN

SOUTHEAST CORNER FOR THE KITCHEN

The ideal place for the kitchen is in the southeast corner of the house. If not, another great option is the northwest corner of the house. The southeast corner is considered the best as the element of fire governs in this direction. Hence, it is the best option for making the kitchen.

PLACEMENT OF KITCHEN IN THE HOUSE

The kitchen doesn't​ share a wall with the toilet or bathroom. In multi-story homes, it is important to ensure that the kitchen is never made below a bathroom or toilet.

USE OF COLOUR

Avoid using the color black in the kitchen and opt for vibrant colors such as yellow, rose, chocolate brown, green, orange, or red.

KITCHEN FLOORING

Ceramic tiles, marble, or mosaic are great options for kitchen flooring. They are practical too as they are hard, impermeable, and of course, resistant to scratches

PLACEMENT OF DRINKING WATER VESSELS

Drinking water vessels, be it an earthen pot, filter, RO, pitcher, etc . these should be placed on the north-east side

PLACEMENT OF STORAGE

Storage is an important part of the kitchen too. We need storage for food grains, crockery, utensils, etc. The storage cupboards should be made on the southern or western walls in the kitchen. It is best to avoid the north and east sidewalls.

PLACEMENT OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The modern kitchen is incomplete without electronic appliances. Today, the kitchen is filled with ovens, microwaves, heaters, etc. These should be placed in the south or the southeast direction of the kitchen. Please note, these appliances should never be placed in the north-east direction.

PLACEMENT OF EXHAUST FANS AND WINDOWS

Windows are important too as Vastu Shashtra says that one or two windows in the kitchen are a must! An air hole or an exhaust is a must and it should be placed in the east in the kitchen. Windows – large or small should be placed in the east while if there are ventilators, it should be placed in the southern direction.

PLACEMENT OF THE REFRIGERATOR
If the kitchen houses the refrigerator then it should be placed in the south-west direction but be kept at least a foot away from the corner. Avoid placing it in the north-east direction.

PLACE THE SINK AND TAPS AWAY FROM THE COOKING GAS
Sinks and taps in the kitchen indicate flowing water. They should be placed in the northeast direction and away from the cooking stove. This is because fire and water are opposite elements and they repel each other

PLACEMENT OF GAS STOVE

The cooking gas is almost as essential as the placement of the kitchen in the house. Therefore, it too should be in the south-east direction. This is because when a person cooks food they should be facing to the east only.
