Choosing the right kitchen colour as per vastu can bring a surprising amount of positive change to your home. According to Vastu Shastra, colours influence energy, mood, and overall harmony—especially in the kitchen, which is considered the heart of the house.

If your kitchen is in the southeast direction (the fire zone), warm colours like red, orange, and saffron are said to enhance the fire element, boosting energy and well-being. For kitchens in the northwest, lighter shades such as white, cream, or grey work better to support balance and air energy. Green and brown are ideal for east-facing kitchens, symbolizing freshness and growth.

Avoid colours like black and deep blue, as they can conflict with fire energy and may even attract negativity. A lot of people also avoid very dark tones because they can make the space feel heavy or uninspiring.

You don’t need a full renovation to follow Vastu. Small changes like painting a wall, updating cabinets, or switching kitchen linens to vastu-friendly colours can make a noticeable difference. Just be sure the tones you choose create a light, open, and inviting environment where your family feels good spending time.
