Vastu considers this a challenging placement, but it can be balanced without construction.
Moderate, but not ideal.
Best direction: South-East (100/100)
In Vastu Shastra, the North-West is the air zone (Vayu). It governs movement, change and support from others, which suits guests, storage of things in flux and drainage. Its element is air and its presiding deity is Vayu.
The kitchen holds the fire element, so Vastu places it where fire is naturally strong and keeps it away from the water and earth zones it would clash with.
North-West governs air and movement; a kitchen here is usable but can add a sense of restlessness or minor friction.

Keep ventilation strong; stagnant air compounds this zone's imbalance more than most.
Favor white or light grey tones.
