Feng Shui rules for the kitchen
Accommodation and isolation of the kitchen . According to Feng Shui, it is undesirable that at the entrance to the apartment you could see the kitchen. Favorable is the placement of the kitchen on the southern or eastern side, but not in the center of the apartment. In addition, it is good if the kitchen is isolated from other rooms, because they can be quite another specific energy. On the other hand, feng shui admits the unification of the kitchen with the dining room. It is believed that this does not violate the free circulation of positive qi energy. And of course, the neighborhood of the kitchen with the bathroom is not welcome.
The kitchen door . According to Feng Shui, the door to the kitchen should be tightly closing. Welcome placement above the entrance bell or the phone. It is believed that these attributes illuminate the path with positive energy. Pipes and faucets in the kitchen should always be in good order, as a stream of water running away from the inane crane symbolizes a drain of money.
Kitchen interior . Color solutions in the interior are chosen by the location of the kitchen. So, for example, for the kitchen located on the east side, blue and green tones are perfect. In addition, the finish allows the use of a small amount of chromium, gold, silver. For the southern cuisine any bright colors are good: orange, peach, red.
In addition to the above, Feng Shui apartments pay great attention to the location of family members at the dinner table during the meal. So, for example, a man should sit facing the door. This is due to the fact that he is the protector of the family and must constantly monitor the situation. A woman should sit with her back to the stove. A son is seated from his father. The most correct is considered when next to the head of the family sit the youngest daughter or daughter-in-law.
Furniture and household appliances in the kitchen
In the modern kitchen, the two conflicting elements, namely the Fire of Water, are side by side. In this is the opposition between the sink and the stove. In this regard, it is not recommended to have them in close proximity to each other. Very unsuccessful in feng shui is the neighborhood of the washing sink and microwave oven, as well as the oven and dishwasher. In the event that avoiding such a neighborhood is not possible, it is recommended to divide the two elements by any neutral object. In this capacity, you can use a wooden floor cabinet or a small table.
The door should be in sight. Plate should be placed so that when cooking people saw the door. It is recommended to place a plate near the south side, away from the window. If it is not possible, place a reflective object over the plate, for example, a decorative tray or an extractor with a polished surface. The refrigerator should be installed from the south-eastern side of the kitchen, and the refrigerator door should not be opened in the direction of the entrance door.
Placement of a dining table . According to the rules of feng shui, the shape and size of the table play an important role in creating a favorable atmosphere in the kitchen. If you want the kitchen to have metal energy, stop your selection on the table without sharp and distinct angles, for example round or oval. If you want the energy in the kitchen to dominate, choose a dining table with a glass top. In placing the table, you must also follow certain rules. For example, Feng Shui does not allow the table to be placed on the "tension line", namely between the window and the door. An oval or round table will create an excellent confidence. It is necessary to use this rule, especially since tables without corners contain a larger number of people than the same ones square and rectangular in area.
Things and small kitchen interior items. It is recommended to close the doors of kitchen lockers tightly. Open shelves are completely uninvited. Such sharp objects as knives and forks must be tied. It is better not to store any objects in the kitchen. It is believed that they accumulate negative energy. Room flowers, placed on the windowsills, are welcome.
Kitchen lighting
According to Feng Shui, the kitchen should be lit by natural light. Therefore, refuse the blinds and massive curtains. Nothing should interfere with the penetration of the sun. Remember that textiles absorb odors and dust. Keep the windows clean, they should not have any cracks, otherwise it can lead to discontent of the family. Clean windows let in the house a lot of sunlight.
Artificial lighting should also be bright. Spread the main lamp above the dining table.
