Kitchen is the place from where most of the vital energy is received. It plays a vital role in Vastu. The kitchen should be placed in South East direction of the house as this side is called the ‘Agni Place’. If it is not possible to place the kitchen in South East, second best place is North West. Kitchen should never be placed in North East, South West and the Centre (Brhamasthana).

  • If the kitchen is in South West, loss of business, accident etc may be the result and if it is in North East, financial distress, court cases etc. may result.
  • If the kitchen is in North West, frequency of guests may increase than normal.
  • The slab for cooking should be in the East and North so that the face of person while cooking is in East or North.
  • The color of slab should never be black or pure white. It should be reddish, green or orange.
  • Stove should be placed on the South East corner and gas cylinder should also be kept there under the slab.
  • Sink should be in the North East corner.
  • Color of the kitchen should be light orange, red, pink or cream.
  • Drinking water should be kept in North East direction.
  • If any water filter or RO system has to be installed, the best place is in North West. However, due to water connection and sink in North East, it can be fixed there also but the electrical connection should be kept far fro North East.
  • Fridge should be kept in South or West direction opening in North or East.
  • Micro Wave Oven, Mixer Grinder, etc should be kept in south East direction.
  • Geyser may be placed in North West direction. Many Vastu consultants suggest Geyser in South East but it is not good there as it contains water and the South East is for fire. So there is a contradiction here. Better to keep in North West.
  • If store is needed ,it should be in South West or South/ West of the kitchen.
