A kitchen in the South west

A kitchen in the southwest (SW) is considered an inauspicious placement in Vastu Shastra, as it clashes with the earth element and can lead to instability, relationship problems, and financial issues. To mitigate this, keep the stove in the southeast part of the kitchen, use brown or peach colors, place the sink in the northeast or east, and face east while cooking. Placing a brass pyramid or a red cloth in the kitchen can also help balance the energies.
