Kitchen
Direction
Of Placement
* The kitchen
should be in the southeast corner of the main building
or flat.
* A kitchen in the west direction can be tolerated.
However, if the kitchen is in the northeast direction mental
tension increases and one may suffer great losses. If the
kitchen is in the southwest direction, life at home becomes
difficult because of clashes.
* The main kitchen platform should be in the east and
the southeast corner. The platform should not touch the east
and the south walls of the kitchen. It should be at least
one to three inches away from the walls. We can also take
a projection of 1 to 2 inches while constructing the kitchen.
* Stove or gas burner should be in the southeast corner,
a few inches away from the wall.
* The washbasin
(sink) of the platform should be in the northeast corner as
far as possible. Pitcher of water and utensils for drinking
water should be in the northeast or the north side.
* The entrance door of the kitchen should not be in
any of the corners. Kitchen doors in the east, the north and
the west are useful.
* If
a freeze is in the kitchen, it should be in the southeast,
the south, the west or the north direction. It should not
be in the northeast direction. If it is in the southwest direction
it should be a feet away from the corner otherwise it always
gets out of order.
* Sink should be on left side of the
platform and gas (cooking range) should be on right side of
the platform.
*
Dining room should be in the west.
Colour
Of The Kitchen
*
The colour of the
floor and the walls of the kitchen should be yellow, orange,
rose, chocolate or red. However, it should not be black
or white as far as possible.
