You can create good feng shui in a small kitchen
The kitchen is considered the heart of the home not only in feng shui, but in many, if not all, old cultures. Feng shui wisdom adds the element of your kitchen revealing the state of your health; as well as attracting the flow of wealth and abundance into your life. The kitchen is also a part of the very important feng shui triangle — the bedroom, the kitchen and the bathroom — which is directly connected to the state of your health and well-being.
What do you do, though, when your kitchen is very small and it seems like you can never keep it clean or find enough space for all your kitchen supplies? If you have a difficult time with people putting things away and keeping it clutter free, it may mean that you have more items than your kitchen can accommodate. Decide on the very minimum you need in order to have a clear place for everything, and have everything in its own clear place. I know this is much easier said than done, but see if you can pack some items away to improve the feng shui energy of your kitchen.
One feng shui decorating tip that works very well for a small kitchen is, strangely enough, to have some open display shelving. This little feng shui trick opens up a small, confined space and lightens the energy by creating a much better flow and a spacious feeling. Of course, with this comes the added element of keeping the open shelves orderly and attractive. It is good to know, though, that for good feng shui your whole space has to be clutter-free, be it visible or not. You can also consider repainting the wood cupboards in a lighter color, such as white or pale butter yellow, whichever color works best with all the other elements in your kitchen (the countertops, the floors, etc.)
