Can the direction of the kitchen entrance impact its Vastu?

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science of architecture that guides us in maintaining our household with certain principles and guidelines. It helps to create a comfortable environment in the home by harmonizing it with nature’s energies. The direction of the kitchen entrance has a major impact on Vastu as it serves as the gateway to all the energy entering and leaving your house.

Here are some basic guidelines for choosing the right kitchen entrance direction according to Vastu:

Kitchen Entry

The ideal direction for a kitchen entry door is south-east, east or north-east facing. This ensures natural light to enter, providing plenty of fresh air and preventing smoke from escaping too quickly. Make sure the entrance does not point directly towards any other room within the house. And always open away from you when entering/exiting.

Kitchen Placement

Kitchen should ideally be located in South East, West or North directions – while these are considered auspicious directions for kitchens. If there isn’t enough space available then alternate locations can also be chosen such as Northwest corner or Eastern side of home (if possible). Avoid constructing your kitchen near water sources like ponds/tanks etc. as they attract negative energies and disturb peace in home ambiance leading to health problems.

Window Placements

Ensure proper ventilation – when designing your kitchen layout keep provisions for adequate ventilation. This will ensure healthy airflow & prevent buildup up odors & fumes inside cooking space. Which otherwise might circulate into living area causing discomfort among residence dwellers at home (especially during summers). Place exhaust fans on either sides of stove & leave chimney out at wall facing away from main entry door (ideally towards South-East Direction). Leading outside premises only so that smoke accumulated from burning fuel gets carried easily.
