The kitchen is the most important room in a house. The aura of your kitchen is very important to ensure the health and happiness of the family. Here are some do’s and don’ts of kitchen vastu to keep in mind while planning your kitchen.
Stove – The stove is one of the most essential parts of the kitchen and it represents the fire element and it should be placed where the lord of the fire exists and that place is the southeast corner of the kitchen. Also, remember that cooking should be done facing the east direction
Sink – Sink should always be kept in the northeast direction as it represents the water. Also, remember that the sink and stove should never be kept beside each other as the opposite elements and repel each other.
Windows – You can add the exhaust fans to the windows to keep your kitchen ventilated and breathable. The exhaust fans should be installed in the southern direction of the kitchen.
Colours – The colour on your kitchen walls should be vibrant such as yellow, red, green, and orange as it will not only make your kitchen vastu compliant but also improve the look of your kitchen and make it more trendy and you happy.
Storage – According to the kitchen vastu principle, storage cupboards should be fitted in the southern and western walls of the kitchen. Two directions you should avoid are the northern and eastern walls.
Electrical appliances – Since most of the kitchen appliances are related to fire they should be placed in the southeast direction. As always don’t keep them in the northeast direction.
Drinking-Water – According to Vastu Shastra, the placement of the drinking water is very important. Water bottles, R/O purifiers, earthen pot, or any water-related vessels should be kept in the northeast direction.
Entrance – Just like the layout the entrance of the kitchen is also very important. The door of the kitchen should be on the east, west, or north side.
Toilet/bathroom – Toilet/bathroom should not be above, below, or adjoining to the kitchen.

A kitchen should not be in the North-East corner of the house. It brings mental suffering and losses. Take remedial measures specified by a good Vastu practitioner if your kitchen is in the North-East corner, to reduce the ill-effects.
Your kitchen should not be in the South-West, it leads to discord among family members.
A kitchen must never be in the North, as it is the position of wealth. Having a kitchen in the North will lead to a lot of expenses, which cannot be controlled.
Do not position the kitchen room directly above or below the pooja or prayer room, or the toilets, or the bedrooms.

In this blog, you will learn about those things. Hence it is very important to balance these energies present in the kitchen as per Vastu Shastra.
Designing a modern kitchen as per vastu.
Have you ever wondered why a room or furniture is in a specific part of a house? And why do you feel refreshed when you enter certain homes or offices? What about free natural light and often a wave of positivity and harmony in particular residences? It is not just a coincidence; all this is the magic of Vastu Shastra.
The science of Vastu Shastra accounts for the functionality, beauty and well-being of the people living in the house. The design principles comply with the five elements – earth, fire, light, wind and space. This ancient science has listed some set rules in the form of Kitchen Vastu.
While planning your kitchen direction according to Vastu, remember these rules. a) The kitchen is where your stove is; and where the fire ignites. So the best kitchen location, as per Vastu, is either in the southeast or the northwest corner. Vastu Shastra also dictates what part of the kitchen should be in which direction. The kitchen door can be placed in the north, northeast or east but must not face the bathroom door. The main window must possibly be in the east to allow ample sunlight.
The kitchen position as per Vastu for the main kitchen counter is the east and the southeast. The sink and drainage should be in the northeast direction. Plan the food and other storage in the south or west. If you have a big kitchen and will place a dining table inside, avoid placing it in the centre. The table must be in the northwest corner. Appliances like the stove, Microwave, and oven have to go in the southeast direction.
These are a few Vastu tips for the kitchen to plan the kitchen direction as per Vastu and set the other elements in the kitchen according to Vastu.
