A kitchen in the northwest of the flat: what Vastu suggests
In Vastu the place for the kitchen is the southeast of the flat. If your kitchen is in the northwest, you do not have to move it: some measures need neither renovation nor big purchases.
Why it counts as a defect
The place for the kitchen is the southeast of the flat. A kitchen anywhere else counts as a major defect: you need to be more careful with fire at home, and losses are possible.
In the northwest, a kitchen leads to higher spending and slower progress in your affairs, and it is easier to get burned there; it may complicate the marriage of daughters and give rise to gossip about the family.
Where to start
Hang silver wind chimes of white metal in the kitchen, preferably by the window.
The northwest stands for communication, agreement with people and sales. Wind chimes strengthen it: it gets easier to come to terms and find common ground, with less anxiety.

Make the kitchen light bright and cool white. Keep more glass items in the kitchen.
Light finishes, silver, pearls, glass and white light soften the effect of the kitchen being in the wrong place.
Light candles in the southeast corner from time to time — just not red, blue, black or purple ones.
Without a kitchen in the southeast you need to be more careful with fire at home, and defects of the southeast lead to losses. Copper, pyramids and candles in that corner calm this: fewer losses and less risk of getting burned.
Never leave a candle unattended; put it on a non-flammable stand, away from curtains.
If you are renovating
Kitchen fronts: light and glossy — white, milky, light blue or pearl, no dark colours.
At least bright cool white light, crystal or glass lamps and more glass items.
Handles and fittings in silver tone. A white kitchen ceiling.
Worktop and backsplash of white marble or marble-look. A white marble kitchen floor.
Tiles or flooring in a white marble look.
Light finishes, silver, glass and white light soften the effect of the kitchen being in the wrong place.
How to check your own flat
Where exactly the kitchen lies depends on the shape of the flat and on where north is. The app divides the plan into eight directions, finds which one the kitchen is in and picks measures for your layout, tied to your walls and windows.
