Chapter VII Feng Shui in Kitchen and Dining Room

kitchen

Modern kitchen system generally consists of four basic parts: cooking, washing, catering and storage. In recent years, dining tables and chairs have also been organized into the kitchen system, forming a complete process.

Kitchen site selection

Because the kitchen represents a family's wealth, food and health, and many incompatible containers are put together, it must be carefully considered for the health and development of the family.

The kitchen is not suitable for the south, because the south is a fire and the kitchen is also a fire. Adding fuel to the fire is not good for home. Food in the south is perishable, so it is best not to set the kitchen in the south. The kitchen should not be in the center of the house, because the center of the house is the most polluted, and the most suitable location is the east and southeast of the house. The five elements in the east and southeast are all wood, and fire and water can live in harmony. It is especially suitable for kitchen and a good place for breakfast.

Ten Taboos of Kitchen Feng Shui

1. Don't point the kitchen door at the main entrance. "Three Essentials of Yangzhai" points out that it takes a lot of money to get to the point. This situation will damage the health of the hostess, making it difficult for the family to gather wealth and have repeated luck. If you encounter such a pattern, the only way to avoid it is to change doors.

2, the kitchen door can not face the bedroom door: lampblack, easy to make residents dizzy and grumpy.

3, the kitchen door can not face the toilet door: as the source of a big and small mouth, the stove is bound to be angry, the toilet is an unclean place, the kitchen represents fire, and the toilet represents water. Incompatibility between fire and water will lead to disharmony between husband and wife and family unrest.

4, the kitchen can not be the same door: some families let the bathroom enjoy a door to save space, so the home is too hot and unlucky; What's more, the desire to eat delicious food in the advanced toilet and then into the kitchen is absolutely gone!

5, the kitchen floor should not be higher than the floor of the hall, room and so on. On the one hand, it can prevent sewage from flowing backwards; Secondly, because of the distinction between primary and secondary, the kitchen can not be above the hall and room; Thirdly, it is necessary to serve food from the kitchen into the hall step by step, otherwise, there is a danger of refund.

6, the balcony aisle can not be directly facing the stove: the promenade presses the fire, the Lord does not gather wealth, and is prone to diseases such as high blood pressure.

7. Don't point the stove in the kitchen at the freezer and sink: the freezer also represents a place to store and gather wealth. Its nature belongs to water, and it is most afraid of fire, which easily leads to poor health of family members.

8. The stove should not be under the beam: any place that is frequently accessed and operated should not be under pressure, especially the stove as a platform for food production.

9, don't open the window between the range hood and the stove, it is unlucky to leak money.

10, the stove can't be backed: the chef's family health, marriage and reputation depend on something, and his back can't be empty. It must rely on solid walls. If it is a glass wall, it is not appropriate.

Create a sense of space in the kitchen environment

Modern family kitchens are generally small due to the limitation of living space, so the visual psychology produced by kitchen environment is very important. Narrow space should seek a sense of rhythm; Since the space is small, we must seek proper limit; Irregular space should pursue form and a sense of order. The width of the room is caused by the horizontal line of furniture and floor tiles; Vertical lines increase the sense of indoor width; Expand the indoor space through the choice of light tones; Through the use of a variety of light sources, increase the level of indoor space. In short, we can make up for the lack of kitchen conditions by visually presenting colorful shapes, materials, colors and other different combinations.

The color of the kitchen.

The color of the kitchen can be decided according to your own hobbies. Generally speaking, the light and bright colors make the narrow kitchen gas lead to poor spirit. In addition, the chair must not be supported by the beam, and objects similar to the beam, such as air conditioners and chandeliers, are pressed on the head. If this happens, it is easy to be constrained everywhere and it is difficult to stretch.

Appear spacious; Low-purity colors make the kitchen warm, cordial and harmonious; Warm colors make the atmosphere of kitchen space lively and warm, which can stimulate appetite.

The ceiling, upper and lower walls and upper partitions can be bright, and the lower partitions and the ground can be dark, which makes people feel that the indoor center of gravity is stable.

The kitchen facing north can use warm colors to improve the sense of room temperature; The room facing the southeast is sunny, so cool colors should be used to cool down.

Clever use of color features can create the height, width and depth of space and make visual adjustment. The kitchen space is too high,

It can be treated with dignified dark color to make it look less noble; In a small room, use bright colors and light tones to make it spacious and comfortable. A well-lit kitchen can be decorated with cool colors to avoid getting hotter when the sun is strong in summer.

Create an appetite-inducing environment

If the kitchen has the function of a restaurant, it is necessary to create a clean and elegant environment that can induce appetite. For example, in lighting, choose an elegant and soft lifting dining lamp; Orange, cream or lemon; Fabric tablecloth should be striped or lively with local flavor; Decorate with one or three kinds of non-staple food, flowers, edible flowers, still life photography, chlorophytum, begonia and other greening to coordinate fire and water; Choose simple, lively and comfortable shapes for furniture. If accompanied by music, it can make people's index fingers move greatly.

The kitchen should avoid dead ends.

There are often many dead corners in the kitchen, such as the top of the cupboard, the corner and the bottom of the pool. Because these places are out of sight at ordinary times and are also the focus of geomantic omen, they are often ignored in kitchen decoration, which not only accumulates dust, but also easily breeds hidden insects. Therefore, in the design of the kitchen, try to adopt the closed cabinet design. If the hanging cabinet is sealed to the top, it is best to seal the lower part of the gas cabinet and pool. This not only makes use of space, saves materials, but also avoids dead corners, does not hide evil people and practices, and at the same time makes the kitchen look sanitary and beautiful.

Pay attention to the humanization dimension of kitchen space.

The height of the kitchen countertop, the distance between other devices, the height of lockers above or below the countertop and proper lighting are all issues to be considered. These distances must be related to the size of the human body to ensure convenient operation.

When designing a kitchen, there is a very important body size that is often overlooked, and that is the height of people's eyes. In this regard, it should be noted that when determining the height of the bottom edge of the smoke exhaust hood on the stove surface, it is necessary to ensure that the user can see the fire eye behind the stove.

Kitchen lighting

The kitchen should be kept bright, clean and dry. For example, it is ideal to have natural light and sunshine all year round. Even if it is only for a period of time every day, it can also freshen the air and have a bactericidal effect. If the kitchen is dark because of the congenital pattern problem, then the cooker must be equipped with an open flame stove. Strengthen the energy in the kitchen, but not all electric stoves, induction cookers and the like.

Generally speaking, a family's kitchen lighting should provide local lighting besides basic lighting. No matter the workbench, scrubber, stove or storage space, there should be light irradiation, so that every working procedure will not be affected, especially the figure of the operator can not cover the workbench. It is best to install a hidden lamp at the bottom of the hanging cabinet and cover it with glass to illuminate the workbench. Some sockets should be installed on the wall, and the wall lamp should be lit when working.

Because the kitchen is full of steam and humidity, the shape of kitchen lamps should be as simple as possible and easy to scrub. In addition, for the sake of safety, the lamps should use porcelain lamp caps and safety sockets, and the interior of the switch should be rustproof. The glue line of the lamps should not be too long and there should be no exposed joints.

The storage cabinets in the kitchen should also be equipped with small fluorescent lamps or incandescent bulbs to see things clearly. Turn on the power supply when the cabinet door is open, and turn off the power supply when the cabinet door is closed.

The location of the stove and stove.

Stove occupies an extremely important position in home feng shui, and correct safety can be beneficial to health, marriage and fame. The Law on Resolving Fierce Chefs points out that chefs are the source of nourishing life, and all diseases come from diet. A chef should be the secret of being angry, becoming a doctor and prolonging life, not the secret of being fierce. The house facing south refers to the southeast, which is called Shangji; Tianyi refers to the East, known as Zhongji; Yannian is due south, which is called the first episode; These three directions are auspicious, which is conducive to the safety of the kitchen stove.

Although the three directions of anger, natural medicine and longevity are auspicious, how to protect the stove should be implemented according to the different conditions of the house owner. If fame is unfavorable, you will be angry; If you are in poor health, you must prolong your life; If the marriage is not smooth, there should be a medical stove.

Cookware is the most important electrical appliance in the kitchen, because it represents the ability to create and contribute, so it is best to choose a cooker with a natural open flame, such as a gas stove, and try to avoid using an electric stove and microwave oven that will release magnetic force as the main stove. The cooktop is best placed in the center of the kitchen, and the surface material of the cooktop is stainless steel.

There are three disadvantages to using a stove:

1, the stove must avoid water, which has two meanings. First, because the stove and the sink represent the water and fire in the five elements respectively, don't put them together, and separate the cutting table and other buffer zones to avoid disharmony. If possible, other water-based appliances, such as freezer washing, dishwasher, washing machine, etc., should also be far away from the stove. Secondly, don't sit south and north on the stove, because the north is water, so you should avoid fire and water.

2, the stove must also be sheltered from the wind, not facing the doors and windows, such as facing the tuyere, it is easy to cause the fire to flow backwards, leading to home danger.

3. The stove should not be located above the sewer, and the drainage system should be from the front to the back of the house. Toilet sewage should not flow out from the bottom of the kitchen.

Kitchen furniture and supplies

For the sake of safety, food cabinets, shelves, worktables, etc. in the kitchen should be equipped with rounded corners and corners as far as possible to avoid sharp corners. Storage space must be arranged and kept clean and tidy. Don't let all kinds of utensils, gadgets and appliances make a mess in the kitchen. The faucet should be well maintained and the sewer should not be blocked. It is natural that the kitchen is in good order and the housewife keeps the house in good order.

Plants in the kitchen

No matter the size of the space, there is enough space in any kitchen, and at least one pot of plants should be placed. The proportion of plants in the kitchen is second only to the living room, because some family members spend a long time in the kitchen every day, and the ambient humidity is also very suitable for most plants. In addition, the kitchens of ordinary families are mostly decorated with white or light colors, and stainless steel sinks. Colorful plants can soften tough lines and inject vitality into the kitchen.

Usually located in a room with fewer windows facing north, some potted plants can eliminate the cold feeling. Due to insufficient sunshine, shade-loving plants, such as Guangdong Evergreen and Starwood, should be selected. The kitchen is a workshop, with frequent operations, fragmentary articles, much smoke and high temperature, which is not suitable for putting large potted plants, but hanging potted plants is more suitable. Secondly, chlorophytum is the best. Putting a pot of chlorophytum in the room can absorb harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the room within 24 hours and play the role of an air filter. In addition, in the prevention and treatment of diseases, chlorophytum has the functions of promoting blood circulation and setting bones, nourishing yin and clearing heat, moistening lung and relieving cough, reducing swelling and detoxifying.

Although natural gas will not harm plants, it is better not to put delicate plants in the kitchen. When the kitchen door is opened and closed, the kitchen is full of high-heat stoves, ovens, freezers and other household appliances, which is easy to cause plants to dry up. Putting some ordinary brightly colored plants is the best choice, which is more practical than putting delicate and expensive plants. Suitable plants include begonia, impatiens balsamina, green radish, bamboo, geranium and bulbous flower. Although these plants are very common, they will look very different if you use special pots such as tea pots, pottery pots and brass pots.

restaurant

Food is the most important thing for people, and food color also shows the importance of eating. Moreover, from the perspective of geomantic omen, the restaurant has a great relationship with the hue of the head of household because it is a place to supplement physical fitness. A restaurant with a successful layout can create a pleasant atmosphere, so that diners can relax, appreciate and love food, and have time to digest it thoroughly, which will also be conducive to the exchange of diners and the harmonious coexistence of family members.

Orientation of the restaurant

The dining room and the kitchen should be adjacent to each other to avoid being too far away. Of course, once out of the kitchen, the restaurant is better and the moving line is the shortest. Traditionally, diners' restaurants should not be located in the kitchen, because the smoke and heat there make it difficult to eat. The location of the restaurant has the following advantages: the east, southeast, south and north of the house. The orientation of the restaurant must be chosen according to the specific situation in order to create a good dining environment.

1. The south of the house is sunny and sunny, and the south is a fire, which can make the family like a fire.

The freezer is usually placed in the kitchen, but also in the dining room. If there is a freezer in the restaurant, it is better to face north instead of south, because it can accommodate the cold in the north and avoid the incompatibility of water and fire, which will lead to more quarrels at home.

The east and southeast belong to wood, and the sun rises in the east in the morning, which has strong vitality and vitality, so it is the last position for breakfast.

4. The restaurants in spring and autumn face the east better, and the restaurants in the north are better in summer. The primary focus in the eating area is to keep clean and tidy, maintain food hygiene, and at the same time create a relaxed eating atmosphere, so that digestion is good and there is a pleasant environment.

The layout of the restaurant should be simple and elegant, and you must not put too many items to avoid too much mess. Residents should not only pay attention to the layout and layout of restaurants, but also pay attention to keeping the air ventilated and clean.

Ten points for attention at the dining table

Of course, the most important furniture in a restaurant is the dining table, and the modern dining table has undergone substantial changes compared with ancient times. In ancient times, most people ate at separate tables, and the dining table was also called a lunch box. Every diner had his own lunch box. Most food boxes are small and light, so there is a story that Hongliang's wife Meng Guang treats him as a guest and gives him a box every day. In modern times, it is almost impossible to cite Qi Mei as an example, because modern dining tables are generally big and heavy, which bring diners together for dinner. Therefore, table feng shui has a great influence on family reunion and harmony between husband and wife. There are ten points for attention about table feng shui:

1, the dining table should be round or square: China's traditional worldview is a round place, so most daily utensils are round or square, and the traditional dining table is a typical example. The traditional dining table is shaped like a full moon, which symbolizes the reunion and intimacy of a family, gathers popularity and can set off a good atmosphere for eating, and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As for the square dining table, the small one can only sit for four people, which is called the four immortals table; The big one can seat eight people, also known as the square table. Because it symbolizes the gathering of the Eight Immortals, it is also very auspicious, square and stable, symbolizing fairness and stability. Although there are horns on all sides, they are not sharp and lethal, so they are readily adopted.

Because the shape of the dining table affects the atmosphere of eating, it is suitable for wooden round table or square table when the family population is small, and for oval or rectangular table when the population is large.

4. The texture of the dining table should be noted: the surface of the dining table is easy to clean, and the tabletop such as marble and glass is hard, cold and artistic, but it is not suitable for all dining tables because it is easy to absorb the energy generated by human diet, which is not conducive to the conversation and communication of diners, but it can be reconciled by modeling and texture, such as a round marble dining table or a square wooden table. These combinations will bring good results.

5, the table is most taboo sharp corners: the sharper the corner, the sharper the urine, the greater the lethality. Feng shui is considered taboo. Because the triangular dining table will lead to family discord and damage to family health, while the prismatic dining table will lead to money leakage and so on. As for those wavy water-like dining tables, although they are inconsistent with tradition, they can be reluctantly selected because they have no sharp corners. In short, the table is always round and square.

6. The desktop of the dining table should be flat and not tilted: the roof of the dining table should be flat and not flawed. If there is a beam at the top, or it is located downstairs, or the roof is inclined, it will be harmful to the health of the family. Liang Ding is a taboo of geomantic omen. No matter where there is a beam roof in the house, it is unlucky, but the bed roof, sofa roof, dining table roof and stove roof are the most harmful, so we must try our best to avoid them. If there is a beam on the dining table, it can be used as a ceiling, but the best way is to move the dining table to another place. If you can't move the dining table under the sloping roof, you can fill the sloping roof with fake smallpox; If the dining table is under the stairs, you can put two pots of bamboo at the bottom of the stairs to solve it, but pay attention to the fact that bamboo can continue to grow upwards and remain evergreen, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect.

7. The dining table should not be rushed: residential feng shui pays attention to avoiding rushing. If there is a rush, the vitality of the house will be easily drained, and Feng Shui will be greatly affected. If the dining table and the gate are in a straight line, you can see the family eating outside, which is absolutely inappropriate. The solution is to move the dining table. However, if there is no place to move, put a screen or a board wall as a cover, which can prevent the door from going straight to the dining table, and a kitchen will not feel uncomfortable because it is disturbed.

8. Don't flush the toilet door at the dining table: the toilet is considered to be a dirty place in Feng Shui, so the more hidden it is, the better. If you are facing the dining table, it will often lead to poor health of your family. If the dining table is in direct contact with the toilet, it is best to move the dining table to another position as soon as possible. If it really can't be removed, it is necessary to put a small water tray in the middle of the dining table, and lift the iron tree head or bamboo with water to solve it.

9. White candle-shaped chandeliers should not be used on the dining table: Some chandeliers are made up of several candle-shaped lamps. Although they are novel in design and have considerable ornamental value, it is not a good sign if they are hung on the dining table. Because white candles are a symbol of funerals, the consequences can be imagined when placed in places where everyone eats together, so they must be avoided as much as possible, but candles of other colors are harmless.

10, the dining table should not face the altar: the altar is a place to worship gods and ancestors. Strictly speaking, it should not be too close to the place where mortals eat. After all, Yin and Yang are always different, and so are immortals. If the altar is dedicated to Guanyin and Buddha, because they all abstain from killing and are vegetarian, while ordinary people eat big fish and big meat, it is out of place. If possible, try to keep the dining table at a certain distance from the altar. The most important thing is to move the dining table so that the two do not form a straight line.

1 1, the dining table should not be too big: some people like luxury and choose an extra large dining table, which is understandable, but we must pay attention to the size ratio of the dining table and the dining room. If the restaurant is not spacious, but it has a big dining table, it will not only be inconvenient to get in and out, but also hinder the feng shui of the restaurant. In this case, of course, the last resort is to replace the dining table with a smaller one, so as to ensure that the size ratio between the dining room and the dining table is moderate, which is convenient for access and greatly improves the feng shui of the dining room.

12, the dining table should not be rushed by the door: the dining table is a place where the whole family get together to eat, and it must be quiet and stable to enjoy three meals a day leisurely. If there is a door rush, it will not only destroy Feng Shui, but also make the food at home turn off. If the restaurant has multiple channels, it is like being in a whirlpool, and the whole body is not smooth, we must find ways to improve.
