Using natural materials is one of the fundamental tenets of creating a harmonious energy in the kitchen. You feel better if surrounded with the natural materials used in the kitchen. Wooden cabinets, wooden accessories, cotton napkins, bamboo baskets etc. are good examples of the natural material.
Food preparation in a windowless space discourages you from cooking. The kitchen should have a link with the outdoors, with nature, as this brings creative cooking energies. Keep live plants, especially herbs in the kitchen window. They are great for cooking and represent positive health energy, while making you feel good. Positive energy will also flow more freely throughout the entire kitchen.
Kitchen is the heart of a home and so it should be warm and welcoming. Keep drawers and cabinets organized all the time. Hiding clutter is not a solution: so take the time to organize and neatly arrange your kitchen items in every drawer and cupboard. The knowledge that all is in perfect order will affect your mindset; encouraging a feeling of tranquility and well being. The food we eat deserves to be prepared in a fresh and clean environment which will help you live healthier. Keep only essential appliances and items that are used daily on the counter such as a tea pot, toaster, salt etc. put the rest of the things into drawers and cupboards including knives, spoons and the stacks of small containers that regularly seem to accumulate in a kitchen.
Storing old, stale or expired food energetically holds you in the past and drains you of the vital energy that is needed to live an inspired life. It is advisable to keep the contents of your refrigerator current and create the energy to welcome the right opportunities in life.
The colour scheme in the kitchen should be of light colour ranges like pista green, lemon yellow, light ivory and pink. It is bad to use darker colurs like black, grey and maroon for the kitchen. Also a strong red is not comfortable for it. Above all create time to gather around the dining table and share meals together to encourage family harmony.
