Feng Shui is a system based on keen observation and experimentation, combining elements of nature and nutrition. It is the study of the environment, places, people, time, and how the energies of each interact.

The kitchen should not be irregularly shaped. It should also not have one side much longer than the other. In the kitchen, a designer as to tackle two opposing elements, the stove represents the fire element and the sink and refrigerator representing the water element.
Both elements will clash. One must seek a proper balance between the two opposing forces. A gap between the sink and the stove is good. If not, place a wooden divider in between.
Fit cupboards and shelves with rounded corners to avoid energy into your body while preparing and cooking your food.
Wood surfaces are ideal for kitchen floors. Stainless steel and ceramic tiles can create fast moving energy.
This may not be ideal if you want to spend a lot of time in your kitchen, it may leave you feeling drained or tired.
The kitchen should have sufficient lightning and be airy ad spacious. Clean the kitchens regularly. This room needs to be well organized, uncluttered and easily possible. Get rid of all unnecessary clutter for it attracts stagnant energy. Only have items which are used regularly and do not get in the way.
