No matter which culture you look at, the kitchen always plays a very important part in the overall design of a home.

In feng shui, the state of your kitchen is directly related to the state your health, wealth and happiness. It is important to know how to create good energy in your kitchen, as well as how to sustain it at all times.

Feng shui advises against having a bathroom above your kitchen, or a bathroom door facing your kitchen. It is also undesirable to see the kitchen as soon as you enter the home. Best feng shui colors for the kitchen would depend on its feng shui direction, but generally warm, clean colors will create best energy in your kitchen.

Vastu shastra also places a big importance on good energy in the kitchen. According to vastu, the kitchen should not be placed under or above the prayer (puja) room, bathroom or bedroom. Best colors for the kitchen are considered yellow, orange, pink, chocolate or red. Black is to be avoided as a bad vastu shastra color for the kitchen.
