First of all, from a practical point of view.
The most important thing in the kitchen is to pay attention to practicality, followed by decoration. Northwest wind often blows in winter in northern China. If the kitchen is set in the east or southeast, all kinds of smells in the kitchen can be blown outdoors with the wind, so that the air in the kitchen can be kept fresh and the odor can be naturally removed.
Second, from the perspective of geomantic omen.
From the perspective of traditional geomantic omen, the kitchen should face east or southeast, and these two directions are the best positions. This statement comes from the five elements, with wood in the east and water in the southeast. The kitchen needs fire and water. Burning wood can make money, and water can moisten wood. This is a mutual relationship. The kitchen faces these two directions, which means that the family will be very harmonious and happy, and everything will be smooth.
Third, from the health point of view.
The safety and hygiene of food storage in the kitchen is the focus of everyone's attention. The kitchen is located in the east or southeast, which is the most suitable place for safe and hygienic storage of food. The air in the east and southeast is fresh. The temperature is low in the morning, so you can bask in the sun. When the temperature is high at noon, it will become a cool place, which can keep the freshness of food.
How to decorate the kitchen?
One of the most important things in kitchen decoration is the need for anti-skid. When cooking, washing dishes and washing vegetables in the kitchen every day, it is inevitable that there will be water stains on the ground. If the anti-skid is not good, it is very easy to cause accidents. Therefore, in the kitchen decoration, we must choose non-slip tiles. Carpets are not recommended.
The storage function of the kitchen is very important. Most people's kitchens are not too big. Pots, pans, dishes, trash cans and other things make the small space in the kitchen more crowded. So we must make rational use of space, but the area is so large that we can make good use of it. If it is not horizontal, use vertical space, and reasonably use the wall space of the kitchen, and hang some storage items on the wall, paying attention to being higher than people's heads.
Our cabinets are usually rectangular, so the cabinets can only be attached to one wall, which may lead to a gap between the two walls. We can make good use of this space with a circular cabinet, which can not only save space, but also store items.
It is not recommended to use white as the main color in kitchen decoration, because if the kitchen is all white, it will become ugly after a while, which is easy to explain. Kitchen fumes will pollute the walls. And white is not easy to clean. So it is recommended to choose some relatively dark colors.
To sum up, this paper discusses the kitchen orientation from the perspectives of practicality, geomantic omen and hygiene, and draws a more reasonable conclusion that the kitchen faces east or southeast. Therefore, everyone should pay special attention to this in the process of buying a house or home improvement. After all, the kitchen, as an important supply place for three meals a day, is related to the health of every family member, and it is really sloppy.
