The Quick And Easy Way To Create A Feng Shui Kitchen

Very quickly you can create a feng shui kitchen by examine a few key concept of feng shui. I will discuss how you can use feng shui colors and feng shui elements to do that. And then I will move on to discuss on - what you should take note on - the placement of the stove.

Balancing the Feng Shui Elements
A quick check and you may realize that your kitchen should more or less be in a balanced state. All the heat, fire and cooking turn this place into one with strong fire element.

But it is balanced off by the wood element (as in the wooden cabinet), water element (as in water from the tap), earth element (as in the earthenware such as clay pots) and metal element (as in the metal utensils)

Perhaps the main consideration is the choice of color for the wall. Move on to read about feng shui colors then.

Choosing the Right Feng Shui Colors
My strongest recommendation is to go for white color. White is also the metal element, which goes well with the strong fire element of this place. Metal element can diminish the strong fire element in this place.

Keep away from red (fire element) and green (wood element), since it add on to the fire element in this place. Also stay away from black or dark blue (water element) as it clashes with the fire element.

However splashes of these feng shui colors are fine. Remember feng shui is always about balancing. Not overwhelming or lacking of certain elements.

Harnessing the Power of Feng Shui Crystals
You may like to add chrysoprase crystal to this place. This crystal has a calming effect and brings tolerance to this exciting room. Another good crystal will be moss agate which symbolizes growth, sustainability and prosperity.

Stove Placement
The heart of the kitchen is the stove and much emphasis is placed on its positioning.

Take note that that the stove,

  • Should not be directly in line with the front door.
  • Should not be position directly under the window as it lacks support. If relocation is not possible then keep the blinds down while cooking.
  • Should not be place directly beside the fridge or sink since this create direct clash of the water and fire elements. You may place green crystals between them to act as a moderator.
  • Should be placed away from the direct line of door.
  • If you live in a 2 storey building, ensure the stove is not place directly below the lavatory.
  • Should not face the toilet.

So what's next? Get off your seat, go into your kitchen and do a quick check. Are you violating any of these feng shui kitchen rules?
