 The kitchen is the hearth, the “treasure” of the home, so feng shui experts pay great attention to it.
The best shape for the kitchen is square or rectangular, the worst is triangular or pentagonal. The kitchen should not have sharp corners aimed at the person preparing the food. They need to be masked by hanging plants (artificial) or reflective surfaces (foil, mirrors).
The best place for the kitchen is in the southern, southeastern or eastern part of the house, which correspond to the elements of Fire and Wood on the Bagua diagram. A good location is also the southwest sector (the position of the mistress of the house).
My observations show that if the kitchen is located in the far right sector of a house or apartment, then there is a high probability of being left alone.In this case, find a place in the kitchen for a couple of Chinese paper lanterns. The tendency to loneliness is exacerbated by a door to the back door or utility yard. It is desirable to disguise it under the walls.
Look away
Affects the energy of the house and the location of the kitchen in relation to other rooms and premises. The kitchen should not be visible from the front door of the house, otherwise those who enter will only think about food, a lot of money will go to food. It is even worse if the front and kitchen doors are on the same straight line. For correction, hang a screen, curtain on the kitchen door. When leaving home, close the kitchen door, and also close it before family members come home or before guests arrive. Make sure that the first glance of the person entering the house falls on some bright objects, and not on the kitchen door, because Chi tends to follow the gaze.
It will not be possible to simply close the door, since the owners refused the door. The situation is saved by an arched entrance, a "screen" made of light from point sources, bright distracting spots on the wall in the kitchen-living room itself, which distract Qi from flying directly into the window. In many apartments, the kitchen is next to the bathroom and toilet, which can negatively affect the quality of the food prepared. Water enters the kitchen after the toilet and bathroom, even if it flows through pipes. In this case, install an additional water filter in the kitchen. It is even worse if the drain pipes from the toilet-bathroom run under the kitchen floor, polluting the Qi and carrying away positive energy. It is advisable to put all pipes in boxes, grooves or hide in any other way.
Doors and windows
If the window and door are directly opposite each other, then the flow of Qi rushes outward, symbolically taking away good luck, without lingering inside the kitchen. This can negatively affect family relationships and material wealth. To avoid this, hang a transparent (preferably crystal) scattering crystal in the doorway or window opening. Try not to install the kitchen furniture wall parallel to the door-window axis. Install it along the wall separating the kitchen and toilet-bathroom.
Lighting
It is good if sunlight enters the kitchen through the windows, but you can add backlighting to it aimed at poorly lit places. In the evening and at night, it is better to close the windows with curtains. Feng Shui consultants recommend that you pay attention to the choice of blinds - their sharp edges, like blades, can "hurt" people sitting at the dining table.
View from the window
A pleasant, rewarding view from the window also matters. From power lines, sharp corners of roofs and houses, dry tree branches pointing straight out the window, etc. can be closed with flowers or crystal vases on the windowsill, suspended by scattering crystals.
