Feng Shui Common Knowledge in the Kitchen

First, the kitchen should not be located in the northwest or the exact west.

According to the principle of "fire nature", the kitchen design should avoid the "metal nature" directions in the furniture, that is, the northwest and the exact west of the house. If the kitchen is set in these two positions, it may lead to health problems such as respiratory system issues, throat, and lung problems. Moreover, if the kitchen is placed in the northwest of the house, it may negatively affect the fortune of the male head of the family. Therefore, it is recommended not to consider these two positions when deciding the location of the kitchen.

Remedy: If the kitchen is already located in the northwest or the exact west, placing a stone ornament and a cup of water in the kitchen can help neutralize this unfavorable situation.

Second, the kitchen should not face the main door or the bedroom directly.

It should also not face the toilet. A kitchen facing the main door may lead to digestive system diseases, accidents, and family conflicts, which are not favorable for the stability of the home. A kitchen facing the bedroom may cause family members to become irritable, quarrelsome, and have conflicts. It may also have negative effects on blood pressure and cardiovascular health. A kitchen facing the toilet creates an unfavorable "water and fire confrontation" layout, which has a significant impact on the household. Family members may suffer from health issues, interpersonal relationships, and emotional problems.

Remedy: Hanging a pearl curtain on the kitchen door can help alleviate the impact of air flow between different rooms.

Third, the stove and sink should not face each other directly.

The stove represents fire, while the sink represents water. These two should not be placed directly opposite or in a straight line. This "fire and water confrontation" layout can negatively affect family relationships and health.

Remedy: The stove and sink should ideally be placed in an "L" shape or diagonally. For families with this issue, placing a pot of green plants between the stove and sink can help resolve this Feng Shui problem.

Feng Shui Taboos in the Kitchen

First, the kitchen door should not face the main door, back door, or toilet door.

A kitchen door facing the main door can create a "through hall evil," which is the most serious form of financial loss. A kitchen door facing the back door can lead to significant unexplained expenses. A kitchen door facing the toilet door can cause digestive system and financial problems.

Second, open kitchens are not recommended.

In modern interior design, to pursue fashion and increase the sense of space, many people prefer open kitchens. However, open kitchens expose the stove, thus reducing their ability to accumulate wealth. Additionally, in open kitchens, cooking oil fumes can spread into the living room, even with a range hood, it's difficult to completely remove the oil fumes. As a result, the living room often retains an oily smell, which is harmful to the indoor environment and personal health.

Third, kitchens should not be connected or face toilets.

Some homes save space and make design easier by sealing the toilet near the kitchen and opening a door in the kitchen to access the toilet, resulting in entering the toilet through the kitchen.

However, the kitchen belongs to fire, and the toilet belongs to water. When they are connected and share a door, it forms a "water and fire confrontation." At the same time, the bad smell from the toilet can mix into the kitchen, affecting hygiene, making family members prone to various illnesses.

If the kitchen and toilet doors face each other, it also becomes a "water and fire confrontation," leading to skin diseases or sensitive stomachs for the couple.

Fourth, the kitchen should not be located in the center of the house.

The kitchen belongs to fire, and if it is located in the center of the house, it is like "fire burning the heart," which can easily affect the health of the family. It is better to place the kitchen in a lucky position, generally it is safer to locate it next to one side of the unit.

Fifth, red and black colors should not be used in the kitchen.

As the stove belongs to fire, red also belongs to fire. If red is the main color, it may cause excessive fire, leading to a situation of "fire burning the earth," causing irritability or liver diseases. Black is also not advisable because it belongs to water, creating a "water and fire confrontation" with the stove, affecting the health of the partner. The kitchen should preferably use light colors, such as beige or ivory.

Sixth, the kitchen should not have water and fire facing each other.

Water and fire should not clash. The position of the water tap in the kitchen should not face the stove. Otherwise, the female head of the household may suffer from back problems, and the couple may experience relationship issues. The water tap and stove should ideally be placed in an "L" shape.

Seventh, the kitchen should not have a beam directly over the stove.

Although there is no inherent negative effect if there is a beam in the kitchen, a beam directly over the stove can be detrimental to those who frequently enter and exit the kitchen, leading to poor health luck.
