To begin with, it should be mentioned that the kitchen in Feng Shui is a symbol of the hearth, a place of gathering and communication of all family members. Attentive attitude 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 a 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 the Tree). But the worst option is located in the north of the kitchen. The element of Water comes into conflict with this room, makes it less visited, busy and even able to slow down digestion! Particular attention in the northern kitchen should be given to plumbing: no leaking pipes and taps should be in it!
Area, shape and general recommendations
Feng Shui cuisine is the home of qi positive energy. The more free space in the room, the better, because energy has more space for free circulation. Make sure the kitchen door is not visible from the doorway of your home. In addition, the kitchen should be isolated from other rooms. Owners of their own homes can do this by placing it in 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 that the kitchen was located near the bathroom or toilet - they will "wash out" all the positive energy. As for the shape, the rectangle and square are the most preferred. Otherwise, areas of "dead" energy will form.
How to compensate for the incorrect placement of the kitchen?
First, the kitchen door should always be covered. Over the door you can hang a crystal or the music of the wind. At the entrance you can place a flowerpot or hang a picture, and decorative bamboo or straw curtains can be hung on the door. To reduce the impact of 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 clay and ceramic products of brown color - they will strengthen the element of the Earth. You can use natural and artificial signs of prosperity and a rich harvest: bundles of dried peppers, onions, etc. And in decorating the walls and when choosing a tablecloth, it is worth giving preference to fruit ornaments. All knives and forks, as well as other sharp and spiky objects should not lie on the table. They should be stored in closed places. And, of course, the kitchen should always be well lit.
Appliances and furniture
The main objects - a sink, a refrigerator and a stove - should form a triangle and be at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other. They should be separated by the symbols of the elements of the Earth - wooden countertops, green and brown objects. The stove must not be placed in the corner or near the window - otherwise you will "lose" all your wealth. The more burners on it, the better. Even if you use only one, turn on all speakers periodically. The stove is best placed in the south. The ideal option is an open fire stove or a gas stove. But the electric stove or microwave is the worst thing that the kitchen can endure in Feng Shui.
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 products will quickly deteriorate in it. The best option is the southeast or southwest sectors of the room. Mirrors should be hung above the stove and in the refrigerator door in order to visually “increase” the number of products and burners.
Color spectrum
Feng Shui furniture, like other interior details, should be selected taking into account the appropriate color scheme. For the kitchen, the best shades are yellow, green, brown, white and orange. But if you do not want to allow a conflict of energy in your home, then it is better to refuse the use of black, red and blue colors in the kitchen.
As a matter of fact, this is how Feng Shui cuisine is designed. Photos will allow you to see that it turns out in the end everything is very beautiful!
