Direction of the Kitchen To ensure your kitchen is enveloped in positive vibes, the elements of earth, sky, air, fire, and water need to be in balance, according to Vastu Shastra. If necessary, change or amend certain areas in your kitchen to increase positive energy in your home. Listed below are 6 important factors that one stringently needs to consider when designing a kitchen as per Vastu guidelines: According to Vastu Shastra, the Lord of Fire—Agni—prevails in the southeast direction of the home, which means that the ideal placement of the kitchen is the southeast direction of your home. If for any reason, you are unable to do so, the north-west direction will work. However, ensure that the kitchen is never constructed in the north, north-east or south-west directions of the home as it will drastically ruin relationships between family members. All the objects inside the kitchen represent fire, so gas stoves, cylinders, microwave ovens, toasters, among other appliances should be placed in the south-east part of the kitchen. Also, these items should be placed in a manner which will compel a person to face the east while cooking. This will ensure positive energy, says Vastu Expert Rupinder Saggoo.
