Direction of Kitchen

 

The southeast is the ideal direction for a kitchen, as per Vastu for an east facing house. However, if this place is not available to accommodate a kitchen, the one can consider northwest but avoid north, west and northeast directions. One can consider southeast or northwest direction for a west facing house to design a kitchen.

A kitchen in north west direction is suitable for some people and their health, especially women. The direction is ruled by Vayu/ air or the wind god. Air works as a supportive element for fire. When designing a kitchen in northwest, ensure that the southeast direction is also balanced. One should consider a kitchen in south west direction only if designing it in the southeast and northwest directions is not possible. To rectify this Vastu dosha, place the gas in southeast zone and colour the walls in yellow shades to balance the negative effects. Use minimal amount of water inside the kitchen. As per Vastu, for washing utensils, make a space outside the kitchen.

It is important to consider Vastu guidelines when determining the location of your kitchen. Avoid placing the kitchen directly below or above the bedroom, pooja room, or toilets. Additionally, ensure that the entrance door to the kitchen is situated in the East, North, or West directions. Following these recommendations helps maintain a harmonious and balanced energy flow within your home.
