Questions

Kitchen Vastu — answered

Which direction is best for a kitchen as per Vastu?

South-East (Agneya), the zone of Agni, is the ideal place for a kitchen — it supports health and cash flow. South-South-East and North-West are also good.

Which direction should I face while cooking?

Place the stove in the South-East corner of the kitchen and cook facing East. Do not cook facing South or West.

Is a kitchen in the North-East or South-West bad?

Yes. Both are treated as major Vastu defects. Fire in the North-East disturbs mental peace, health and finances; in the South-West it disturbs relationships and causes conflicts.

Where should the sink and refrigerator go?

Keep the sink and drinking water in the North-East part of the kitchen and the refrigerator in the South-West or West part. The stove and sink should not be adjacent or directly opposite each other.

Which colours are good for a kitchen as per Vastu?

Warm colours such as yellow, orange, cream or light green. Avoid black.
