Kitchen in the world of Feng Shui epitomizes nourishment and prosperity. How you set up things in your kitchen can greatly affect your health and your wealth. In this article we will discuss the different Feng Shui points that you can implement whether you are just about to design your kitchen or if you are about to do renovation.

1. Kitchen Location. When applying Feng Shui in your kitchen, the first thing you need to consider about is the location of the kitchen. Ideally, the best position for the kitchen is a place that you don't see when you come into the house, this would of course be the back of your house.

A view of the kitchen upon entering the house would make your life revolve around food which most often than not can result to eating problems.

If you already have your kitchen situated near the entrance of your house, you can apply certain renovation and designing techniques that would shift the attention of any person entering into your house away from your kitchen. A good idea would be to hang curtains that would hide your kitchen.

2. Kitchen layout. You should design the layout in such a way that the cook can distinctly see the doorway. Feng Shui consultants also advises that it is good to have a something reflective in the kitchen. So utensils that are stainless are the way to go. It is also advisable to add mirrors behind the burner, as Chinese believe that by adding a reflective burner, you are in away doubling your wealth.

3. Kitchen Lighting. Incandescent bulbs or halogen lights are the most recommended for kitchen. A well lighted kitchen is good for Feng Shui. Lights must be placed such that no shadows are casted while preparing and cooking food.

4. Kitchen appliances and utensils. There must be a grouping among the appliances and utensils in the kitchen. You need to separate fire elements from water elements.
