Placing the refrigerator next to or opposite the cooking area
The arrangement of electrical appliances in the house not only needs to ensure convenience when using, but also needs to satisfy feng shui requirements, helping to bring vitality and attract wealth to the family.

According to feng shui, the refrigerator belongs to the Metal and Water elements, while the cooking area has strong Fire energy. Therefore, placing the refrigerator next to or opposite the cooking area creates a conflicting energy, with Fire counteracting Metal, and Water counteracting Fire. Placing the refrigerator next to or opposite the cooking area can disrupt the flow of energy in the kitchen and affect the harmony of the family members.
In reality, the cooking area emits a large amount of heat. If the refrigerator is placed right next to the cooking area, its operation can be affected. Moreover, the grease generated during cooking can stick to the refrigerator, making it difficult to clean and reducing its lifespan.
Placing the refrigerator opposite or near the bathroom
The bathroom belongs to the Water element. According to feng shui, Metal produces Water. Placing the refrigerator opposite or next to the bathroom will excessively enhance the Water element, affecting the overall energy of the house.
The refrigerator is also considered as the family’s wealth. Placing the refrigerator opposite the bathroom will let the wealth be washed away by the Water element.
In reality, the bathroom is a damp place with high humidity and bacteria. Placing the refrigerator opposite or next to the bathroom can contaminate the food and affect the health of the family members.
Placing the refrigerator near the bedroom

For convenience, many people choose to place the refrigerator in the bedroom. In some small houses, homeowners may also place the refrigerator next to the sleeping area to save space. However, electrical appliances like refrigerators generate a certain level of noise and emit electromagnetic radiation when operating. These factors can affect sleep quality and health if exposed for a long time.
In terms of feng shui, the bedroom is a place for rest, requiring a calm energy flow. The refrigerator belongs to the Metal element, and when in use, it generates heat. This can affect the energy flow of the room and have a negative impact on the people inside.
