In the art of Feng Shui, the kitchen is associated with health and prosperity. If your kitchen is not Feng Shui friendly, it could have an effect on your home’s overall energy. Considering that Feng Shui is used to achieve peace and harmony around you, and the fact that the kitchen is the focal point for many families, your kitchen should reflect peacefulness and tranquility. In just a few easy steps, you can have a more productive kitchen, and achieve a balance in your home’s Feng Shui energy.

First, get rid of clutter. That means all clutter, even if it is hidden away in a cabinet or pantry. If you are holding on to old, stale food, now is the time to throw it out. Make a note to clean out cabinets, freezers, and your refrigerator on a regular basis. If you are facing the wall as you cook, then your Feng Shui is weak. Consider hanging a mirror on the wall above your stove so that you can see what is behind you as you are cooking. You can also use a mirror so that it reflects your stove burners, and makes it appear as if you have double the cooking space. This symbolizes doubling your income.

What you may not have considered is that water and fire are natural enemies, and fight against each other. If your stove and sink sit opposite each other, it leads to a negative Feng Shui aspect. A quick fix is to place green between them. This can be done by using a green rug or a live plant.

Fresh flowers are always a beautiful and uplifting sight, so consider keeping a vase of fresh flowers on the counter. You can also use fresh fruit or a live plant on the counter, table, or in a windowsill to increase the life energy in your kitchen.
