Tips for Vastu Complaint Kitchen

Vastu shastra is a traditional Hindu system of architecture which literally translates to “science of architecture.” These are texts found on the Indian subcontinent that describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry. Vastu really works for your success, happiness and prosperity.

Why is Vastu for Kitchen Important?

We are always surrounded by energies around us. Vastu Shastra helps in balancing all these energies around us and the place we live in. The kitchen is the place where raw and uncooked food gets transformed into nutritious and healthy food which provides energy to all the members of the house. The energy that is received from the food makes you feel positive and contented. However, if there is an imbalance in the energy emanating from the kitchen, then the same food might create negative energy in you. Your health suffers, and the repercussions can be felt on your day to day work as well. The way the grains are stored or your kitchen stove is placed can have a huge impact on the energies that surround you. Therefore it is very important to balance these energies present in the kitchen as per Vastu Shastra.

Vastu Tips for Kitchen

In Vastu Shastra, every appliance, small or big, has its own place and should be placed in accordance with the designs laid out by it. This will ensure positive vibes and energy in your house. However, most of the times especially in apartments we have very little choice to pick the place for our kitchen or appliances. They are all pre-designed sometimes in accordance with Vastu requirements and sometimes without it. If you are living in a house that is not built as per Vastu, we have some easy tips for you to organise your kitchen as per Vastu. You can make some feasible changes in your kitchen to get the best benefit of this wonderful ancient architecture knowledge without causing much change to your already existing set up. First, let’s discuss the things that you’ll have to do and then we will proceed to don’ts.

Do’s:

1. Gas stove:

Gas stove signifies fire and should be placed where the Lord of fire dwells. The right placement of the gas stove as per Vastu is in the southeast direction of the kitchen. You should cook facing the east direction to bring the positive energies in your home. Also, remember that fire element and water element should not be placed parallel to each other. Since they are both opposing elements, they can have a negative impact on the behaviour of the person. This also may result in causing rifts between the family members.

2. Kitchen

The kitchen should ideally be located in the south-east direction. In case there is no provision for building your kitchen in the south-east direction, you can also opt for north-west direction as per Vastu.

3. Refrigerator

Refrigerators can be placed in south-east, north, south and even west directions according to Vastu Shastra. The directions to avoid are south-west and north-east.

4. Windows

Every kitchen should have at least one window facing the east. The early soft lights of the sun are very beneficial for our health. They also brighten up the kitchen and look beautiful. Moreover, the rays of the sun in the kitchen can reduce the use of electricity. Windows help in ventilation too, and it is better for your kitchen. The exhaust fans should be installed in the southern direction of your kitchen.

5. Utensils Storage

As per Vastu, a kitchen should be clutter-free. All the utensils should be kept neatly in the cupboards as per Vastu requirements. The cupboards are better to be installed in the southern and western walls.

6. Sink

According to Vastu, the north-east direction is best suited to store water dispensers or water bottles or the water sink. Choose the kitchen slab colour from green, orange, or yellow to maximise the effects of Vastu principles. It is noted in Vastu principles that if you maintain harmony in balancing the water element in your kitchen, you can prosper in your wealth.

7. Wall Colours

Vastu for kitchen colour suggests that you choose vibrant shades like yellow, orange, and chocolate browns.

8. Electrical Appliances

Any kitchen requires electronic gadgets such as ovens, microwaves, and heaters. Placing these in the south-east direction like that of the gas stove would bring in a lot of benefits for your kitchen.

9. Grain Containers

As per Vastu, all the grain containers, pulses containers, and spices containers should be placed in the southern or western directions.

10. Cleaning

Cleaning the kitchen slab, utensils and the floor is hygienic and also in line with Vastu principles.
