There are several factors that together contribute ensuring the best possible kitchen vastu in any given property.

Usually kitchen vastu includes the suitable zone of placement of kitchen and its interior furnishings, along with the color and material of the space.

However, the structure of the kitchen space can also affect its vastu.

In today’s blog, we will understand how the structure of kitchen area can affect kitchen vastu, by understating difference between open and closed kitchen space.

What is meant by open and closed kitchen areas?

If you pay attention to the kitchen area and its enclosure, there are 2 types of the same. Namely- open and closed kitchen.

As the name itself suggests, the closed kitchens are designed to make this area as a separate section in the home. It can be adjacent to any part of the home.

The open kitchens, on the hand, are designed as an extended part of the living room. Usually, they are accessed from the living room itself.

The traditional families usually prefer to have closed kitchen, and most old building usually have this arrangement.

In contrast, the modern residential properties are designed to have the open kitchen type (for better utilization of space), along with the modular kitchen setup.

But out of these 2 types, which one ensures better kitchen vastu? It is time to reveal the same.

Which kitchen style ensures best kitchen vastu?

Before revealing the same, it is first crucial that we explain why such partition in this space was done at the first place.

In earlier days, there were no such things as exhaust channels or fan in the houses.

As a result, the gases, toxins and also negative energies, which were produced inside the kitchen area, used to circulate inside.

To ensure that it does not pollute and spread throughout the home, the kitchen area and also toilets, was made kept isolated from the rest of the house.

The closed kitchen promotes the same concept. And thus, some people assume that this type contributes for better kitchen vastu.

It is in fact true that in open kitchen, there is higher chances of generating and spreading of toxic gases and negative energy.

However, there is more to it. We have exhaust fans, and modular chimney that can serve the same purpose.

In fact, good exhaust from the kitchen window can solve it efficiently. Thus, open kitchen type, too, can promote good kitchen vastu.

Furthermore, you can overcome any underling vastu doshas by installing a suitable painting or a small partition like structure in between kitchen and living room.

Doing so will all the ill effects in the space and make improvise the overall perfect kitchen vastu.
