To begin with, it should be mentioned that the Feng Shui kitchen is a symbol of the hearth, a place of gathering and communication for all family members. Careful attention to this part of the house allows you to normalize the psychological microclimate in it, as well as protect yourself and your family from many diseases.
Where should the kitchen be located?
It is believed that, ideally, the Feng Shui kitchen should be located in the southern sector of the house. It is the south that is responsible for the element of Fire, the personification of which is the stove - the most important part of the kitchen. East and Southeast are also quite favorable (the element of these sectors is Wood). But the worst option is the kitchen located in the north. The element of Water comes into conflict with this room, making it less visited, lively and even able to slow down digestion! Particular attention in the northern kitchen should be given to plumbing: there should be no leaking pipes and taps in it!
Area, shape and general guidelines
The Feng Shui kitchen is the habitat of positive Qi energy. The more free space in the room, the better, becausemore space for energy to circulate freely. Make sure the kitchen door is not visible from your doorstep. In addition, the kitchen should be isolated from other rooms. Owners of their own homes can do this by placing it at the back of the building. Closest to the kitchen should be the dining room. If they are combined, try to at least visually separate them. It is impossible for the kitchen to be located near the bathroom or toilet - they will "wash out" all the positive energy. As for the shape, the most preferred are the rectangle and square. Otherwise, areas of "dead" energy will form.
How to compensate for the wrong placement of the kitchen?
Firstly, the doors to the kitchen should always be closed. Above the door, you can hang a crystal or wind music. At the entrance, you can place a flowerpot or hang a picture, and hang decorative bamboo or straw curtains on the door. To reduce the impact of the negative Sha energy, sugar bowls, cereal containers, etc. should be used. round shape. Water pipes should be hidden behind decorative panels. On the shelves you can arrange brown clay and ceramic products - they will enhance the elements of the Earth. You can use natural and artificial signs of well-being and a rich harvest: bunches of dried peppers, onions, etc. And in decorating the walls and when choosing a tablecloth, you should give preference to fruit ornaments. All knives and forks, as well as other sharp and prickly objects, should not lie on the table. They should be stored inclosed places. And, of course, the kitchen should always be well lit.
Appliances and furniture
The main items - a sink, a refrigerator and a stove - should, as it were, form a triangle and be at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other. They should be separated by symbols of the element Earth - wooden tabletops, green and brown objects. The stove cannot be placed in a corner or near a window - otherwise you will “lose” all your well-being. The more burners on it, the better. Even if you only use one, periodically turn on all the speakers. The stove is best placed in the south. The ideal option is a stove with an open fire or gas. But an electric stove or microwave is the worst thing that a feng shui kitchen can endure.
As for the sink, it is best when it is made of stainless steel - this material is able to destroy negative energy structures.
The refrigerator should not be located in the south - otherwise the food will quickly deteriorate in it. The best option is the southeast or southwest sectors of the room. Hang mirrors above the stove and in the refrigerator door to visually “increase” the number of products and burners.
Colours
Feng Shui furniture, like other interior details, should be chosen taking into account the appropriate color scheme. For the kitchen, yellow, green, brown, white and orange are considered the best shades. But if you do not want to allow a conflict of energy in your home, then from using black, red and blue colors in the kitchenbetter to refuse.
As a matter of fact, this is how the Feng Shui kitchen is designed. Photos will allow you to see that everything turns out very beautifully in the end!
