Now we know the ideal direction for the kitchen in the home as per Vasthu. To be more precise, when we say kitchen, we actually mean the heating devices or the fire equipment only. It includes the kitchen gas stove, induction stove, Griller, Microwave Oven etc., to ensure a Vasthu compliant kitchen, we need to check if these equipments are placed in the recommended direction zone as per Vasthu.
If kitchen is placed in any direction other than the one mentioned above, it could prove to be disastrous. Every direction in our home governs a certain aspect of our life as per Vasthu. If kitchen is placed in any other direction, it affects the attributes of that particular direction.
For example – South-West direction of the house governs our relationships. If kitchen is made in the South-West direction, it implies that fire has been added to the family relationships. This ignites often-intense arguments among the family.
Another example can be having a kitchen in North-West, which generally attracts legal concerns and blocks the right support from reaching us.
Ideal Colours For Kitchen
The second most important aspect to be considered inside a kitchen is the color scheme of the kitchen as per Vasthu. This is often ignored by many people which many a times ends up turning a Vasthu perfect kitchen to a non-Vasthu perfect kitchen. Even if you have the kitchen in the Vasthu perfect direction zone, but the colors are not as per Vasthu, all the positive aspects of the kitchen are lost.
For example, having a kitchen in the ideal direction i.e. between South-East and South direction and using a black granite marble slab below the gas stove. Black represents water element and having a black slab means adding water element below the fire element. This disturbs the cycle of five elements and we no longer are able to yield any positive of the ideal kitchen location.
We recommend neutral colors like cream, beige etc. for the walls of the kitchen. Color for kitchen slab and for other kitchen equipment are best advised after evaluation of the layout map.
If the colors are not as per Vasthu, our experts can recommend balancing colors to be added in the kitchen to nullify the effect of anti-colours, without any re-construction.
It is generally not recommended to have a temple inside the kitchen premises, as per Vasthu. The ideal direction for the temple is North East. In case your temple is placed inside the kitchen, you may consider relocating the same to ideal directions as mentioned above.
In case relocation is actually not a practical option, it is advised to place a cream cloth curtain to cover the temple.
Location of Dustbin in Kitchen
The ideal location for a dustbin in between East and South East Direction, (when calculated from the center of the house). If this direction is available inside the kitchen, dustbin can be placed there which will be perfect as per Vasthu Shastra. The dustbin for the kitchen if placed in this direction should be brown in color and have a lid, which shall remain closed all the time.
In case, the heating equipment or the kitchen is not in the recommended direction as per Vasthu and is made elsewhere in the house, first we need to check if wrong placement of kitchen is actually affecting our lives. If you are feeling some kind of negativity, then it is advised to get in touch with a learned Vasthu expert to verify if that is due to imbalanced Vasthu or only the placement of kitchen. If relocation is possible, we recommend relocating the heating devices to the South-East and South direction as per Vasthu for kitchen to yield the positive aspects of Vasthu. However, In case relocation is not possible, negative effects of wrong placement of kitchen can be nullified with appropriate treatments, without any reconstruction.
