Vastu for the Kitchen: Direction, Layout and Balance
In Vastu Shastra, the kitchen is the seat of Agni, the fire element, and the source of a home's nourishment and health. Its placement carries real weight.
The ideal direction
The kitchen is happiest in the south-east corner of the home, the natural zone of fire, with the cook ideally facing east while cooking. Where the south-east is not possible, the north-west is a workable alternative.
Within the kitchen
Keep the cooking flame and the water source apart, as fire and water are opposing elements. Store grains and provisions in the south-west, and keep the space clean and well-ventilated.
Order in the kitchen is, in Vastu, order in the home's wellbeing.
