In this article we will talk about the different Feng Shui tips that you can employ whether you are just about to design your kitchen or if you are about to do renovation.

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

A sight of the kitchen upon getting into 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 located near the entrance of your house, you can implement 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 draperies 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 suggests 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 recommended to add mirrors behind the burner, as Chinese believe that by adding a reflective burner, you are in away doubling your wealth.
