Feng Shui Guidelines for the Kitchen: An article by Master Cecil Lee, including his seven principles for stove positioning

[Cecil Lee]

Morning master Cecil, seek ur opinion. Our ID advise us the kitchen layout, and she has proposed 3 layout for us to choose. These 3 layout is fine for our fengshui right?

LAYOUT 1 - BAD

Make sure the fridge with an ice or water dispenser does not face the stove. This setup is not ideal, especially if the sink and stove are too close together or if the stove is near the wall. I like this arrangement because it encourages the family to cook less and eat at home, which helps everyone stay slim and healthy.

LAYOUT 2 - GOOD

this layout is good

LAYOUT 3 - AVERAGE LAYOUT

stove face opening. Some loss of $$$. as back is behind opening when cooking

LAYOUT 4 - FAIR

Ok, last one option. How about this layout

Generally acceptable.

1. The refrigerator should not have a water or ice dispenser.

2. Be cautious in windy conditions or if the flame goes out.

3. There are no safety measures in place in case of a fire. Fortunately, gas has a strong smell, so it's important to rely on your sense of smell. If a flame goes out, gas could leak into the bedrooms.

Hi Cecil, 
1) can aircon pipe gas and water go above stove and wardrobe? 
2) Can aircon pipe gas and water go below stove level?

1. Frankly, this is the first time in my life I’ve seen something like this. For a moment, I thought it was the twilight zone for it to be above the stove. As long as it’s not induction and there’s electricity, it’s possible. A wardrobe is common.

2. I need to take Panadol Extra. This is the first time I’ve heard of this. If there’s no choice, even if I have to “break an arm” — touch wood — if it has to be done, it has to be done.

 

Fortunately for me, no need to face the air-con installer. Which I feel is unfortunately a pessimist.

Haha.. don't ever let me know the name of your air-con man/person.
