Is it good feng shui for the kitchen in the basement? What are the taboos?

Many families may place the kitchen in the basement due to the layout of the house, thinking that this can greatly save space upstairs. In fact, according to Feng Shui, if the kitchen is in the basement, Feng Shui will have some impact. But if it is improved, it can still be arranged as a kitchen. Let’s analyze it in detail.

How to lay out a basement kitchen?

If the kitchen is in the basement, the gas stove should be installed in a room with natural ventilation and lighting. The height of the kitchen with gas ventilation must be higher than 2.2 meters. When the kitchen When there are no doors or windows that lead directly to the outdoors, a gas stove with automatic flameout should be installed and a series of safety equipment should be installed. Secondly, in addition to meeting the conditions for gas installation, another problem that should be solved is the drainage system of the kitchen. If the original design of the house is to put the kitchen in the basement, then the drainage pipes and other arrangements have been arranged. Otherwise, you need to arrange it yourself. For the drainage system, attention should be paid to waterproofing measures.

Do not place stoves and sinks in close proximity

Keep a distance between stoves and sinks. Any knowledge related to kitchen Feng Shui will emphasize these points, because this is a point that is often encountered in kitchen decoration. Sometimes because the kitchen area is not large, the decorator directly considers this decoration method. This kind of decoration is because it will cause water and fire to be incompatible, and the result is that there are more water and fire incompatibilities among family members. If you want to avoid this problem, try to separate them during decoration. If this is not possible, choose a stove ring that is far away from the sink when cooking, and try not to operate the stove ring and the sink at the same time.

There should be no window between the range hood and the stove

Some people may think that there must be a window between the range hood and the stove, or that the window should be opened to prevent the discharge of oil smoke. It is very effective and can be set directly like this. In fact this is not appropriate from a Feng Shui perspective as it can cause discouragement. The family's wealth also leaked out through the window. In this case, if you do have windows in your home, be sure to cover them. Since this will cause the kitchen to be dark, just close the windows while cooking.
