• In Vastu Shastra, the same platform or parallel placement of gas cylinders and ovens should not be used for the washbasins and cooking range, as both water and fire are opposing elements, thus causing a negative impact on their behaviors. Couples and family members can unintentionally fight over it.
• Water pipes, kitchen drains, and wash basins should all be oriented north or northeast in the kitchen. Overhead tankers in kitchens, however, should never face north or north-east. It is recommended putting the water tanker outside the kitchen on the western side of the house. Fire and water should be kept in balance. Maintaining balance with water is essential to wealth and health.
• If you want to overcome obstacles in life, you should position your refrigerator in the south-west direction. A quiet kitchen environment will also be ensured.

2. Vastu for the Bathrooms & Toilets

As bathrooms and toilets tend to become an energy drain in a home because they are not treated the same as bedrooms and living rooms, they become negative spaces.

In reality, by constructing a bathroom according to vastu guidelines, you can reap benefits in the long run. Here are some vastu-compliant bathroom tips recommended by experts.

1. As per vastu, a bathroom should be built in the north-west section of the home to eliminate waste.
2. For the bathroom, a solid wood door of good quality is the best choice. Metal doors encourage negativity and may harm your health.
3. Keeping your bathroom door shut at all times will protect your family and career from negative influences.
4. Decorative statues and religious idols should not be placed on the bathroom door.
5. A wall sharing the same end of a vastu house should not be shared by the toilet, bedroom, puja room or kitchen, as this could create a negative energy in the house. A toilet and a bed that share a wall can cause nightmares.
6. Based on vastu, the sink and shower should be placed in the east, north, and north-east parts of the bathroom.
7. When water is released in the bathroom or toilet, the correct vastu direction is north, east, or north-east. Water should drain from the bathroom floor in the same direction.
8. When placing the toilet seat inside a bathroom, special attention must be paid. Ideally, it should be placed in the west or north-west direction to support the expulsion of waste and toxins.
9. If the bathroom window or exhaust fan faces east or north-east, fresh air and sunlight can enter. The importance of ventilation in the bathroom lies in eliminating bacteria.
10. In vastu, browns, beige, creams, and other earthy shades are the best colours for the toilet interior. You should avoid dark blues and blacks.
