Kitchen The Place Of Energy

The KITCHEN plays an important role in our lives. Considered the heart of the home, it provides physical and spiritual nourishment. The kitchen should be used for cooking and chatting only, so keep the energy light and bright and benches free of clutter.

As the kitchen deals with the elements of fire and water, the best design scheme is one that uses “tree energy” which will balance the two elements. Natural objects and materials, like timber chopping boards, wooden plate racks and cane baskets work wonders. The location of the stove can have a large impact on the quality of the food and naturally, gas is the first choice for cooking.
Try to arrange the stove, sink and fridge in a triangular shape.
