The kitchen is probably one of the most important parts of a house, as being multifunctional, sometimes it can be difficult to achieve a more harmonious space.
Besides being where we storage, prepare and even eat our food, it’s also a meeting point for family and friends, a place that children love and our own health center, so it should be functioning well as well as supporting a healthier lifestyle.
The orientation of the kitchen could also have a powerful effect on how it functions, and with deeper studies of Feng Shui, it’s even possible to know the best place for Fire elements as the stove and Water elements, like the fridge and sink, bringing abundance and prosperity to the inhabitants of the home.
As soon as we discover the best option for the kitchen, we can use the 5 elements cycle to help us create balance, but also keeping in mind that modern kitchens could affect negatively our well being if we discard some important things:
- A very noisy kitchen with many electronic devices;
- Lack of space and light;
- Food contamination from using certain materials for packaging and preservation;
- Dangerous and harmful products to clean countertops and other surfaces;
- The consume of chemical substances used in industrial food production can cause huge damage in health;
- Finally, not contributing for the world health with unsustainable actions, such as not separating garbage from compost, plastic, paper and glass, all these materials end up in food chain.
Therefore, when practicing Feng Shui try to incorporate these and other important issues inside your space, be aware that there are no miraculously solutions when the problem is not exactly the home, but a relationship of respect and harmony with the environment that surrounds us.
