Vastu refers to the right direction of spaces, colours of walls, and shape of the rooms to ensure the positive energy inside the house. The kitchen is one of the most crucial parts of your home as you spend a major part of your time here.
To help you rectify the vastu dosh of the kitchen, attract money, and create a positive space, we connected with Kusum Dogra, a Vastu Expert and Astrologer. She shared a few tips that you can follow for your kitchen.
She said, “Mars is a fiery planet and the Lord of the South controls the kitchen because it is a fiery space.” Spices, utensils, knives, forks, gas, and other things are associated with Mars and fire. “Therefore, the kitchen must be in the south-east direction,” she added.
Dos For Kitchen According To Vastu
- You can build the kitchen in the north-west direction as well. However, you should install the stove in the south-east direction.
- The door of the kitchen should face the north or east direction. The east direction is known for attracting prosperity because the sun rises in this direction.
- The person cooking in the kitchen should be facing the east when working on the stove. If the person faces the west, it can invite health problems.
- The windows of the kitchen should open in either the east or west direction. This is the ideal condition for the flow of energy into and outside the house.
- You should keep the gas cylinder in the south-east direction. However, if it is empty, you should keep it facing the south-west.

Don’ts For The Kitchen According To Vastu
- Vastu expert Dogra said the kitchen must not be installed in front of the home temple. You should also avoid installing it right below or above the ‘pooja room’. This is because we work with fire, cut fruits (Fruit Pizza Recipe), vegetables, and meat, and perform many other tasks in the kitchen.
- You should also avoid building the kitchen right above and below the bedroom.
- You must never build the kitchen adjacent to the toilet. “It will destroy the energies of your food and beverages.”
- The kitchen must not face the north direction because it is considered inauspicious according to vastu. It is the direction of Kuber, the God of wealth, according to Hindu religion. “Mars has a conflict with this direction,” Dogra added. It can increase the chances of excessive expenses.
- The kitchen must not face the south-west direction as it can instigate quarrels at home. It can adversely impact your family life.
- The person should not face the south because it can invite financial problems (Financial Anxiety).
