A refrigerator is an essential appliance in every modern household. Therefore, for those who are interested in feng shui, its importance in terms of feng shui is also significant.
Should a refrigerator be placed in the kitchen or not?
According to feng shui experts, the best position to place the refrigerator is in the kitchen. The refrigerator belongs to the element of Metal, and the kitchen is a place of Fire, which counters Metal. Therefore, placing the refrigerator in the kitchen will have the effect of balancing the Fire element.
However, it is important to note that the refrigerator should not be placed opposite or near the stove because the heat from the stove and the cold air from the refrigerator will collide with each other, potentially damaging the appliances and affecting the health of the homeowners. According to feng shui beliefs, this collision also affects the harmony of qi in the family.
If there are family members who belong to the Wood element, it is recommended to place a large refrigerator, or even place the refrigerator in the living room. Regardless of which family member belongs to the Wood element, they can place the refrigerator in their corresponding element position to enhance their luck. Male homeowners belonging to the Wood element can place the refrigerator in the Northwest corner of the kitchen or living room.
Should a refrigerator be placed in the kitchen? The answer is yes.
For people who belong to the Water element and have difficulties in their careers, it is recommended to place the refrigerator in their workplace, where they can store water, beer, and ice to enhance their career advancement and luck. In addition, people belonging to the Water element can also place an additional refrigerator in the living room to support their element.
On the other hand, people belonging to the Wood element should avoid placing the refrigerator in a prominent location and instead place it in a concealed area of the house. In bars, refrigerators are often placed inside wooden cabinets. For those who are not compatible with the Metal element, this is an excellent way to neutralize the negative effects of the refrigerator.
Some considerations when placing and using a refrigerator:
– Choosing the color of the refrigerator: According to feng shui, the refrigerator is an essential item in every household, but at times it can clash with the owner’s element. Therefore, it is necessary to apply the principles of the compatibility and clash between the Five Elements to choose the appropriate color. The color white, milky white belongs to the Metal element. The color green belongs to the Wood element. The colors black and dark blue belong to the Water element. The colors red and purple belong to the Fire element. The colors yellow and brown belong to the Earth element.
– Do not place items on top of the refrigerator: No electrical appliances should be placed on top of the refrigerator. Many families try to save space by placing small electrical appliances on top of the refrigerator, but from a scientific point of view, this is not correct. From a feng shui perspective, each type of electrical appliance will have different electromagnetic fields and the flow of energy will affect the surrounding qi, which can have a negative impact on the health and luck of the homeowners.
– Do not leave the refrigerator empty: The refrigerator should not be left empty. The refrigerator is a place for storing food, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. If it is left empty, it will have negative effects on the wealth energy. From a practical perspective, an empty refrigerator consumes more electricity.
– Do not place the refrigerator opposite the door: Whether the refrigerator is placed in the kitchen or living room, it is important not to place it directly opposite the door, as it can cause a clash in the flow of energy and make the luck unstable.
– Regularly clean the refrigerator: The refrigerator is related to the health of the homeowners, so it is necessary to regularly clean it. Good health is essential for promoting good luck.
