There is harmony between the Water and Fire elements
In the Five Elements theory, Water and Fire are two elements that coexist but conflict with each other. When designing the interior of a kitchen, homeowners need to pay special attention to the Water and Fire elements.
In the kitchen, the stove represents Fire, while the faucet, sink, drainage pipes, refrigerator, etc. represent Water. Having Water and Fire close to each other will disrupt the airflow in the house. Therefore, it is absolutely not recommended to design the sink right next to the stove or facing it. These two should be at least 50 cm apart if they are on the same line.
From a scientific point of view, if the sink is too close to the stove, the splashing water can affect the flame during cooking or even damage the stove (especially for electric stoves as they can cause sparks and fire).
Homeowners should also avoid placing the stove right next to the refrigerator. The stove emits a lot of heat, which can affect the refrigerator’s operation and reduce its lifespan.
Various types of feng shui plants
In the kitchen, you can plant various feng shui plants such as Snake Plant, Spider Plant, Aloe Vera, etc. They are compact, with neat foliage, and have the ability to absorb odors and purify the air.
In addition, homeowners can also grow herbs like basil, thyme, mint, etc. in the kitchen for both decoration and cooking purposes.
Spacious, tidy, and clean space
According to feng shui, a kitchen that is too open will not retain wealth and luck in the house. In reality, too much wind will make cooking difficult.
On the other hand, a kitchen that is too enclosed will make food odors difficult to escape, causing a stuffy environment. Therefore, homeowners should create a kitchen space with good air circulation and natural light.
Furthermore, it is important to keep the kitchen organized, clean, and regularly cleaned. This not only ensures hygiene but also attracts wealth and keeps the Wealth God in the house.
