The kitchen is the room in the house that gives us the energy to stay active all day. The kitchen’s Direction affects many aspects of our lives. That is why you should ensure that whatever you keep in the kitchen is functional.
RK Babbar, a Vastu expert, believes that the kitchen is the most effective place to improve health and motivation. Here are some guidelines for Vastu in the kitchen.
According to VastuShastra, the kitchen should be facing east or southeast. However, the Northwest also works if you cannot locate a suitable location in that corner.
Your Face Direction while Cooking
Cooking facing west is not recommended because it can lead to various health issues. The gas stove should be located in the southeast corner of the kitchen. The kitchen appliances like chimneys are prone to fire and should be located southeast.
Ro/Water Pot Positioned in Kitchen
Water pots and other utensils should be kept in the northeast corner of the kitchen.

- If your kitchen faces east, choose a green or brown slab.
- Maroon, brown, or green slabs are recommended for the south or southeast.
- For the west-direction kitchen, a grey or yellow slab is ideal.
- For the north direction, kitchen green is the best color.

Kitchen Dustin should be placed in the northwest direction
Face while Cooking
According to VastuShastra principles, cooking should be done facing east. The southeast corner of the kitchen, symbolizing the lord of fire, is regarded as the ideal permanent element in kitchen vastu. You can balance the energy flow and establish a happy cooking atmosphere by positioning your cooking area in the southeast corner and cooking while facing east.
Second-best Position for a kitchen
The northwest direction is the second best position for the kitchen. You make your kitchen more conducive to practical cooking and contribute to the general positive energy in your house. The Northwest encourages light and airflow, making your kitchen airy and spacious.
Fridge Direction
You should put your fridge in the northeast, southwest, or southeast corners. The northeast direction is not recommended for the fridge, as per Vastu. These directions are consistent with the energy flow, ensuring optimal functionality and a pleasing aesthetic appeal.
When deciding where to place your refrigerator, it is best to have it near the sink and stove for convenience. This provides easy access to water and ingredients while cooking. According to Kitchen Vastu, Keeping the refrigerator in the southeast or west directions is auspicious.
These Vastu tips help you plan the kitchen’s direction and arrange the other elements.
