Vaastu helps to balance positive energy in your kitchen and promote a sense of well-being within the household. After all, the kitchen is the heart and health of your home!

These are a few common Vaastu defects that every individual must avoid while planning their kitchen, according to Vastu shastra: 

• Placing the kitchen above or below a toilet or bed room is one of the most severe Vaastu defects. Also, the prayer room should not be above the kitchen sink or stove as it brings bad luck and drains wealth. 
• The kitchen and toilet should not share a common wall. Both these Vastu defects have a direct bearing on the health of the occupants. 
• The kitchen should never be situated in the North East or North as this adversely affects one's career. 
• The kitchen should not face the main door of the house. 
• The kitchen and bathroom door should not be opposite to each other.
