Food is essential for everyone's existence, and mankind must cook food to survive. The most important thing is that every house needs a kitchen to prepare its daily food, and every house has a separate kitchen for this purpose. So you need to know which location is suitable for the kitchen. According to Vastu, the main kitchen platform must be located in the south-eastern corner of the room. The sink must be towards the north-east, and the stove must be towards the east side of the room. The kitchen door must be located on the northern wall of the cooking room.
In the south or south-western direction of the kitchen, we should keep vegetables, grains, spices, and other cooking ingredients. Electronic equipment such as the fridge, mixer, microwave oven, and grinder should be kept along the west wall of the kitchen.
There are limited colour choices for painting the kitchen. Red, yellow, or orange — colours that stand for fire — are allowed for painting the kitchen. We must avoid using green, white, sky blue, black, or any other light colour in the kitchen. A large window is required in the kitchen, as it helps bring enough light into the room. The kitchen must not be located next to the toilet.
Cooking should be done facing east, as this is believed to be fortunate. You must not have any door behind you while cooking. According to Vastu for the kitchen, the north-east, middle north, middle west, south-west, middle south, and the centre of the house should all be avoided.
It is important to remember that the stove must not be visible from outside the kitchen, as this may cause digestive problems for family members. One more thing to remember is that the sink and tap must not be close to the cooking area, as water and fire oppose each other.
The dishwasher must be placed on the north-western side of the kitchen. Drinking water must be located in the north-eastern direction of the kitchen.
Storage is an important part of a kitchen. Cabinets should be used to store lightweight items.
Storage is also a very important aspect of the kitchen.
If you have extra storage capacity, you should use it, as it keeps the kitchen neat and clean. If the kitchen has overhead storage cabinets, you should avoid placing them directly over the cooking area. When you build a kitchen, you must also ensure proper ventilation.
