List of Kitchen Colour As per Vastu
First of all, here is a list of colours that are considered good as per vastu. You should paint your kitchen with these colours as they have their own benefits. Here is the list of the best colours for your kitchen:
Orange/ Saffron
Saffron and orange come first on this list. These colours symbolise spirituality. In Sanatan dharma, these are very lucky as they are connected to Shree Ram and Hanuman. Therefore, these colours bring strength, positivity, and spirituality. Also, Orange and Saffron are linked to fire. So, these colours stimulate appetite, promote communication, and bring happiness to your kitchen. Now, let us move on to the next colour.
Yellow
Now, the next colour is Yellow. According to Vastu, yellow is the colour of Jupiter and the Sun. So, it is connected with energy, freshness, wisdom, knowledge, and luck. All of these are important to build a healthy and peaceful atmosphere. So, there are fewer fights over “aaj tinde kyu bane hai!” Plus, yellow is a very bright colour, so there will be no laziness. Overall, yellow is a good colour for the kitchen and your well-being. Now comes the next colour.
White
White is a neutral colour. It is a symbol of peace. White represents purity, cleanliness, and weightlessness. It is also a better colour for the kitchen. White colour promotes hygiene and creates a sense of spaciousness. You will feel that your kitchen has become bigger. Also, white can be paired with almost any colour. So you do not have to scratch your head while selecting colours for kitchen slabs and cabinets. Do not worry; we will tell you the best colours for slabs and cabinets in this blog.
Pastel Green
Green is one of the best colours to pick for your kitchen, as per Vastu. It is a colour peace and nature. Pastel Green may keep the atmosphere fresh and positive. It gives a soothing ambience to your kitchen. Plus, colour is also associated with the planet Mercury which is a planet of communication. So this improves communication in your relationships. Moving on to the next colour.
Red
Red is the colour of Mars, which is a fiery planet. It promotes energy and warmth and is also connected to the element of fire. As per Vastu, this is a very good combination for your kitchen. However, it is only good when your kitchen is in the South East direction. So, check the direction of your kitchen, and if you find that its direction is West or North, then avoid the red colour in your kitchen. Apart from this, this colour boosts hunger, so the problem of loss of hunger goes away.
Pink
Vastu says pink is good for not just the kitchen but the entire house. It is a very soothing and pleasant colour. This colour brings love and peace to your cooking space. It makes the kitchen feel pleasant and inviting, so you will enjoy cooking there. Just like white, pink also helps a small kitchen feel bigger. But it should be balanced. Do not include too much pink; it will look like Barbie’s house. Also, pink is the colour of the planet Venus. Therefore, it promotes peace and love in the atmosphere.
Brown
If you are selecting better colours for your kitchen, consider chocolate brown or soil brown. Not only does it give your kitchen an aesthetic look, but it also looks ambient. Brown is a very comfortable colour which provides warm and positivity. Moreover, this colour suits well to a modular kitchen. If you use the combination of chocolate brown and light brown then it may give your kitchen a great look. Now let us see which colour is next.
Peach
Peach is one of the lighter shades of pink colour. It gives your kitchen a soft and inviting tone. This colour combines the warmth of orange with the calmness of beige. It promotes a feeling of contentment and peace in the kitchen. Peach colour also promotes a nurturing feeling among the people living there.
Beige
Beige is a soft, creamy, and neutral tone that brings calmness and peace to the kitchen. It gives a relaxing feel to your kitchen. It is easy on the eyes and makes a great base for other colours. You can use other colours of your choice in the kitchen, and if you add brighter colours, then they may emerge beautifully. Beige can be a good alternative to white colour. So, if white feels too boring, then beige is the best colour for your kitchen. Let us move on to the last colour on our list.
Brick Orange
Brick orange is a good choice for your kitchen, according to Vastu. It brings a burst of energy and good cheer, making you feel happy and active while cooking. Thus, the food you cook will be tasty.

Vastu for Kitchen Sink and Stove
Direction of kitchen Sink and Stove
One of the most common mistakes that people make is keeping their sink and stove in the same line. As per Vastu, the gas stove is linked to the element of fire, whereas the sink is linked to the element of water. So, when fire and water combine, they create steam, which causes severe burns. So, you should avoid keeping them in the same line.
But if you already have these placed together and you cannot change them, then you can partition them. Place a slab made of stone or good-quality wood between them.
