The kitchen is considered the heart of the home, where nourishment and positive energy is created. It is important to keep this place clean and pure for both, your mental and spiritual health.
According to Vastu Shastra, an ancient science of architecture that deals with the inherent energy of places and directions, along with astrological inclinations, to derive the right placement of objects, the design, layout and elements of your kitchen can significantly impact the overall energy of your home.
Hence, here are some essential Vastu tips for you if you\u2019re considering moving around or renovating!
1. Direction: <\/span>Ideally, the kitchen should be located in the southeast corner of the house. This is associated with the fire element and promotes health and prosperity.
2. Stove Placement: <\/span>The stove, representing the fire element, should also be placed in the southeast direction. If placed in the northeast, this can lead to financial losses.
3. Sink and Water Storage: <\/span>The sink and water should be in the northeast corner of the kitchen as this area is associated with the water element. The sink and the stove should not be directly opposite each other, so as to avoid conflict between fire and water elements.
4. Colour Scheme:<\/span> Use light and soothing colours as dark colours can create a very heavy atmosphere.
5. Ventilation:<\/span> Ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen with windows or exhausts for free flow of energy and removal of negative ions.
6. Avoid Beams:<\/span> If possible, do not have beams directly over the cooking area as they can obstruct the flow of positive energy.
7. Plants: <\/span>Place small plants or herbs in the east or north corner of the kitchen to promote growth and positivity.
8. Garbage Disposal: <\/span>Keep the garbage bin in the southeast corner of the kitchen and ensure its always covered and cleaned regularly.<\/div>\n
