After all, a family which eats together, stays together! So, when kitchen is so significant in our lives, it is our duty to make a Vaastu-compliant kitchen one to avoid unnecessary problems in life.
Here are some really easy Vaastu Tips for kitchen one can follow anytime.
1. Correct Direction 
The perfect direction considered for the kitchen is the southeast direction/corner of the house. The reason behind this is that the southeast direction is governed by the Fire Element which makes it the ideal location for kitchen.
2. Position of the Kitchen
It is very important to ensure that the kitchen doesn’t share any of its walls with the washroom or the toilet as these are the places of waste. In multi-storey buildings also, kitchen should never be made below or above the washroom/toilet.
3. Position of Refrigerator
Almost everybody, nowadays, plans to keep refrigerators in the kitchen. As per Vaastu rule for kitchen, if you are also planning to do the same, then you must ensure to keep it in the south-west direction but at least 12 inches away from the corner. The north-east direction should completely be avoided.
4. Gas Stoves are the Heartbeat!
Placement of kitchen is very important but what is the most essential part of the kitchen? It is the gas stove as it does most of the cooking, therefore it should also be placed in the southeast direction that too a few inches away from the wall. This is to make sure that the person cooking is facing the east direction.
5. Position of Sinks/Washbasins/Taps 
Sinks/washbasins/taps are symbolizes flowing water. Vaastu rule for sinks in Kitchen suggests that they should be placed just opposite the gas stove in the northeast direction. This is because Fire and Water repel each other as they are opposite elements.
6. Path of Air
According to Vaastu rule for kitchen, one or two windows are mandatory in the kitchen. Any kind of window – big or small- should be placed in the east direction. Similarly, exhaust fans should also be placed in the east but any kind of ventilators should be in the south direction.
7. Storage
A kitchen is always full of groceries which need space for storage. Storage shelves or cupboards should always be on the western or southern walls of the kitchen whereas north and east should be completely avoided.
8. Drinking Water
Drinking water can be kept in various forms in the kitchen such as ROs, filters, earthen pots etc. but the correct direction for these is the north-east.
9. Electronic Appliances
We can’t imagine our eating habits and meals without microwaves, toasters, sandwich-makers, ovens etc. Because of their regular use we tend to keep them in the kitchen to avoid hassles. Therefore, they should be kept in the southeast or the south direction. North east direction should be totally shunned.
10. Dine Together
