PEOPLE say the kitchen is the heart of every home. It is an area where food is prepared and cooked for the family and to do household jobs such as washing dishes. The location, design and Feng Shui basics of the kitchen are very important in a good Feng Shui floor plan.
According to Feng Shui practioners, the kitchen is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Therefore, it is important that items in the kitchen are well placed, and the area is bright and airy to bring in the qi.
Where you place the stove is also important to maintain intense fire energies. The stove represents the fire element so it is best to have it in a location that is compatible with or not damaged by fire energy.
According to a Feng Shui website, the position of a cooker and sink is important. Their placement in opposite direction could lead to quarrels and misunderstandings in your family.
Energy in the kitchen could also weaken if the cooker and sink neighbour each other.
But if your kitchen already has a cooker and sink in opposite direction or neighbouring each other, worry not as the situation can be remedied by placing something green like a live plant or carpet between them.
The kitchen must also be clutter-free and shine with cleanness. A crowded and messy kitchen and a sticky one can bring about negative elements and disturb the quality of your meals.
Also ensure that your pantry and fridge are not filled to the brim with food stuff. Discard any items which are old or have expired as they can become a disturbing element. Try to add more healthy and organic meals - especially fresh fruits and vegetables.
If you like fresh flowers, you can place some in a vase to elevate the energy in the room.
