Each part of the home represents something important. The kitchen is considered as the most sacred section of the home, right after the puja room.

We seek blessings from Ma Annapurna, the goddess of food and nutrition, as we prepare daily meals in it. Kitchen is the area where we cook our food.

So, it represents food, satiation and also nourishment. With food, not only we satiate hunger, but also keep illnesses at bay. It also gives energy and strength to carry out our daily tasks with the help of good food.

Moreover, from the perspective of vastu shastra, the kitchen also represents the fire element. Fire is one of the panchatatva (the rest are air, water, earth and space).

Thus, its right placement is of utmost importance. If it is placed in perfect balance, only then it brings the vastu benefits of Fire.

Kitchen vastu guidelines

Let us check out the vastu guidelines of kitchen space, as offered by expert vastu consultants in Kolkata.

   1.Placement of kitchen

Vastu Shastra acknowledges the south east direction to be the zone of fire element. Thus, the best direction to place the kitchen is in the south-east zone of the house.

In case it is not available, you can also consider the north-west direction for the same. But make sure to avoid placing the kitchen area in the zones of north, north-east or south-west.

It has been found to bring tension in the family and creating dispute among family members.

Also, never position the bathroom and kitchen as adjutant to one another. Doing so is considered as a vastu defect

   2.Placement of gas cylinder and oven

Remember that, all the cooking appliances are considered as fire element. So, let it be gas oven or microwave oven, their guidelines are the same.

Just like the previous one, the gas cylinder and over must be kept in the southeast zone of the kitchen. Place these in such a manner that you need to face the east while using them or cooking.

   3.Placement of the electric gadgets

These days, you will hardly find a home without any kitchen appliances. Our kitchens are loaded with electric appliances.

So the placement of these as per vastu matters too. Place gadgets like toasters, coffee machine, rice cooker, mixer-grinder, etc on the south east corner as well.

Avoid keeping them in north east corner as it can lead towards malfunctioning of these appliances.

 

   4.Placement of the water structures

Placing a sink in the kitchen as per vastu is very important as it represent the water element in the area.

To make sure they don’t counteract with one another, make sure never to place it in the same zone as that of oven. Also try not to have them placed parallel to one another.

Doing so can bring domestic conflict in the home and cause fights between spouses.

For best result, place them in the north side or northeast corner of the kitchen. In case the sink and stove are placed closely, keep a vase made out of bone china in between.

Also, place the kitchen dustbin under the kitchen sink to minimize the spread negative energy. Dispose the garbage regularly and clean the dustbin routinely.

In case you use filtered water or treated water for kitchen uses; place the water purifier or water storage jar/bottles in the north east zone as well.

Also, the channels of kitchen drain and water pipes must be as per vastu rules.

   5.Right placement of refrigerator

Almost every household has a fridge to store eatables. Let it be dairy products, veggies and prepared leftover food; we keep them in the fridge for keeping them fresh and good.

To make it vastu complaint, place it in the south-west zone. This helps to remove hindrance from your life. But you can place it in other corners as well, except north east.

   6.Right placement of the storage cabinet

We all keep some extra eatables in our homes as reserve. This cabinet must be kept in the south west zone of the kitchen. Doing so will bring prosperity and good luck in the lives of the residents.

In case you don’t have any separate cabinet for storage food items; you can arrange the storage containers, neatly, in the said direction.

   7.Placement of utensils

Vastu shastra always recommends keeping the kitchen free of cluttering. So, organize all the utensils neatly in either cabinet or in utensil basket and place it in either south or west sides of the kitchen.

Also, in case there is any broken china or glassware; try to dispose it at the earliest. Keeping broken things can cause spread of the negative energy in the home.

   8.Placement of the windows and exhaust fan

Having a window and exhaust fan in the kitchen is crucial. It helps to channel out the negative energy and toxic gas that gets produced in the kitchen.

Windows also facilitate exposure to natural daylight during the day. Always keep them open during cooking and other times as well, if possible.

Vastu experts recommend having a couple of windows or exhaust fan on the eastern side of the kitchen. For the installation of electric chimney, go for the south zone.

Vastu shastra highly regards the role of colors in determining the overall vastu of the property. For the kitchen area, it is best to use Light colors. Light Pink, orange and red; though green can be considered as well. (For South-East Kitchen)

These colors not only uplift the kitchen vastu but also evoke hunger. This is the reason why you will find most restaurants using these for their themes as well.

Try to avoid using dark colors like black, grey, Blue etc for the kitchen area. It affects its vastu and makes the ambience gloomy.

Materials guidelines for kitchen as per vastu

Picking the right materials for the kitchen area is very crucial for perspective of both safety and vastu.

Wooden and marble floor are recommended for best result. Installing ceramic tiles works fine as well.

Open vs closed kitchen areas as per vastu shastra

As the terms itself reflects, closed kitchen are designed as a separate section of the home. Open kitchen are the ones that are blended with the living room.

In earlier days, kitchen area (and also toilets) was made isolated from the rest of the house, as it produces negative energies and harmful gases.

But these days, most of the building architecture promotes open kitchen space for better utilization of the space.

People often wonder which kitchen design among them is better from the perspective of vastu shastra.

Well, open kitchen does promote generating and spreading some negative energy within the home. But it can be fixed quite easily with simple vastu remedies.

 By installing a suitable painting or a small partition like structure can negate all the ill effects and make it perfect kitchen vastu.
