Can the washing machine be put in the kitchen?
From the perspective of geomantic omen, it is not good to put the washing machine in the kitchen. From the five elements, the washing machine belongs to water and the kitchen belongs to fire. Putting the washing machine in the kitchen is a bit out of place. Most feng shui masters don't advocate putting the washing machine in the kitchen. There is also a geomantic saying that the washing machine represents the stomach in the geomantic omen of home, and the kitchen belongs to fire, so putting the washing machine in the kitchen will be harmful to the residents' health and there will be stomach problems.
Where should I put the washing machine?
1. The washing machine is placed in the bathroom: in general, the washing machine is placed in the bathroom. There is laundry space in the bathroom, so the storage of items is relatively more scientific, and washing supplies can be placed in a unified way. Changing clothes is also more conducive to induced labor, but attention should be paid to prevent water vapor generated by bathing. Being in a humid environment for a long time is not conducive to the safety of washing machines, and it is also easy to breed bacteria.
2. The washing machine is placed in the kitchen: it is also good in the kitchen, and it can be placed in the cupboard, which is more integrated. However, water pipes should be placed in advance. When placing the washing machine, we should pay attention to raising the height of the laundry area, so that the drainage device in the laundry area and the drainage device in the kitchen can form a height difference to avoid inconvenient drainage; Even in dry and humid areas, the laundry area should be waterproof.
3. The washing machine is placed on the balcony: Many people think that it is more convenient to dry the washing machine on the balcony, but there is no water supply and drainage on the balcony. If the washing machine is placed on the balcony, it will cost a lot of money to arrange water supply and drainage. And the washing machine should not be placed in a place where it is easy to be exposed to the sun. Therefore, bathrooms and balconies should take various protective measures.
4. The washing machine is placed in the corridor: the utilization rate of the narrow corridor is very low, but for families with limited space, the corridor can actually be set as a laundry area. You can choose to hide this area, install curtains, or install upper and lower sliding doors to make it a hidden functional area in the space, but going up and down the stairs is still a problem.
