Questions and Answers
3 questions on Directions and Orientation matching kitchen
Why does the colour of the kitchen platform matter so much?
Eye contact is greatest with the platform, since rolling, chopping and all cooking work happen on it, so its colour works on the eyes and mind. In a wrongly placed kitchen the right platform colour alone can correct about 25% of the dosh: ivory for South, South-East, South-South-East and West-South-West kitchens; light red lakha granite for South-East and South-South-East, used sparingly because red stone comes only as granite, which develops pin holes; yellow for South-West and West; and green for South-East, South-South-East, South, North-East and North.
Is the direction of the whole kitchen considered, or only the direction where the burner is placed?
The place where the fire burns matters most in a kitchen, so the direction of the burner is the key one.
Apart from gridding the house, should the kitchen be gridded separately?
Yes. Interior vastu means zoning each room separately with its own grid and then designing its interior accordingly.
