Each part of your kitchen can be affected by positive or negative energy, depending on a few very important factors. The cabinets can be a primary source of negative energy if they are chaotic and cluttered, or a great source for positive energy if they are organized and clean. In this article, we will take a brief look at the effect of organization on cabinet feng shui in the kitchen.
Positive vs. Negative Energy
Positive and negative energy are attracted by cleanliness or chaos, respectively, and in the kitchen the primary source of organization comes from the cabinets. If you just put things away wherever, with no sense of organization or order, the result is an unorganized chaos, and there will be no positive energy flow from that part of the room. This also drains the positive energy from the rest of the room, and could leave you with nothing good to come out of the kitchen, from meals to family together time.
In order to maximize the potential of something as seemingly innocent as kitchen cabinets, keep them organized and tidy as much as possible, with a logical order to the items stored in each cabinet. Not only does this increase the positive chi, it also looks great, adding value to your home and increasing your potential return on investment (ROI) should you ever decide to sell the house. Whether you are interested in a future sale or not, keeping things organized will help you with each meal that you prepare.
How to Organize Cabinets
Start the project by seeing what you have, dividing things up into a logical order, such as bowls in one place, plates in another, and serving bowls in a different place. Stack the items that can be stacked, giving yourself a rough idea of how many items you need to store within the cabinets. Once this is done, you can start setting up the cabinets more efficiently.
If you see that you have too much to fit into your available cabinet space, begin to weigh your options. You could prioritize; putting the things you use less often on a top pantry shelf or in the attic. You could give away or sell the things that you do not use at all. Or, you could simply try rearranging the stacks or using organizational accessories to make the space more efficient.
The Right Tools
Organization is not as difficult as you might initially think, with some help accessories offered by most cabinet companies today. Most are not very costly, and they will make your life`and your organizational project`much easier. They can be found at the vast majority of home improvement stores, and with some online retailers, especially brand name cabinet companies.
Lazy Susan technology has been introduced as a vital part of cabinet organization, with inserts that allow you to utilize even corner cabinet space effectively. Some offer pull out shelves, so that getting things is even easier. There are many different sizes to choose from, depending on the width and depth of your cabinet and cabinet door size.
