Kitchen Vastu tips:

• Besides the South-East, another direction best suitable for constructing the cooking area is the North-West.
• If the plot of the land is diagonal, constructing the Kitchen in the North-West is not recommended.
• Clean your Kitchen cabinets, drawers and pantries regularly and throw out food that you think has become old or food that you don’t have any use for.
• South-East corner of the house is the perfect Kitchen direction. The South-East corner is dedicated to the Hindu god Lord Agni or the God of Fire hence this direction is appropriate.
• The arrangement of the direction for Kitchen should be such that the doors should be placed in the North-East or North corners of the room. Windows must occupy the East direction.
• The North-East corner should never be used for constructing the Kitchen. This direction is best suited for living rooms and meditation rooms because the morning sun rays enter from this direction earlier compared to other directions.
• Cooking should be done in the South-East corner or on the East side of the Kitchen. It is best to cook while facing east but facing North is also all right. It is advisable not to put the stove on the northern wall. The stove should not be in front of the Kitchen’s door.
• Some people find racks easy to access than anything you place in the Kitchen. You can opt for a wall or ceiling hung rack to store larger items of Kitchen, such as pans wasted overhead space.

• The Kitchen should ideally be in the South- East corner of the house, its windows on the East and South sides. There
can also be a window on the Westside. If the Kitchen cannot be in the South-East corner, it is all right to place it in the North-West corner. The Kitchen should not be next to or across from a toilet, nor should it be directly in front of the main door.
• Electrical items such as microwaves, grinders, and mixers should be placed in the South-East corner of the Kitchen. The sink should be in the North-East corner. The South-West wall should be used for storage. The refrigerator should be in the North-West, South-East, South, or West. It should not be placed on the North-East side.
