How to design a beautiful kitchen?
To Nice kitchen design requires us to follow a lot of principles and depends on 3 main factors: area, kitchen furniture and light.
Standard kitchen area
The kitchen area will be balanced according to the overall area of the house or the number of family members.
Popular kitchen areas | |
Case | Suitable area |
Minimum area for kitchen | 12m2 |
Kitchen for 2 people | ~ 15 m2 |
Kitchen for 3 people | ~ 20 m2 |
Kitchen for 4 people | ~22 – 25m2 |
Note: Kitchen area can be changed according to needs and preferences. There is still a small kitchen of 6-8m2 or combined with the dining room, connecting the living room to save space.
The most reasonable size for the furniture in the kitchen
- Kitchen cabinet height below 81 - 86 cm and depth range 60cm.
- Kitchen cabinet height below 80 cm and depth range 35 - 45cm.
- Distance between upper and lower kitchen cabinets 60 - 80cm.

- The height of the bar range 70 - 80 cm.
- The height of the bar attached to the kitchen table or island is about 1m – 1m2.
- The usable depth of the bar is from 40 - 60 cm.
Kitchen island, island table are the names of the kitchen table (or kitchen cabinet) located in the middle of the kitchen.
The size of the kitchen island depends on the size of the kitchen. The height of the island is the same as the height of the stovetop for balance.
The best way to arrange kitchen furniture
Kitchen furniture usually includes: cabinets, shelves, kitchen island, dining table, electric/gas stove, refrigerator, sink, garbage disposal and deodorizer (if any).
Furniture in the kitchen is arranged most reasonably when we adhere to the principle of "kitchen triangle".
Kitchen triangle (the kitchen work triangle) also known as "working triangle" was invented in 1940. This is an invention that helps people optimize space in the kitchen, based on the 3 most common items: stove, sink and refrigerator.
Some common kitchen triangle principles | ||
STT | Location | Requirement |
1 | Triangle edge:
| Sizes from 1.2 m to > 2.7 m |
2 | The sum of the lengths of all three sides of the triangle. | Size from 4 - 8 m |
3 | Between any two points of the triangle:
| Must be very clear, no obstacles |
4 | Food preparation area next to the sink. | > 91cm |
5 | Distance between the two sides of the fire. | 1 side 40 cm 1 side 30 cm |
The kitchen is a place where there is a risk of grease and moisture splashes, so the wall/flooring material for this area must be water-resistant and easy to clean. See more suitable kitchen wall cladding materials here.
Guide to the most suitable kitchen lighting layout
The light intensity for the kitchen (also known as illuminance) according to TCVN 7114:2008 standard must be greater than or equal to 500 lux. This is the right light for homeowners to operate in the kitchen, does not cause glare and is considered the most comfortable.
- Natural light from doors and skylights.
- Light shines throughout the kitchen.
- The light from the task light (Task Lighting) illuminates a specific area.
Task lights are often placed in cooking positions such as the stovetop, the place to prepare ingredients. And lamps that are only used for decoration are often concentrated in the dining area or used to create accents for decorative items such as wall paintings, island tables or vases.
Notes in kitchen feng shui
The kitchen is an important area. Building / designing a kitchen that is not in accordance with feng shui can affect the health and fortune of the owner.
Put the stove in a bad position but facing the good side
Kitchen direction is the direction that the stove / fire handle is facing out, we often stand with our back to this direction to cook. According to the principle "sitting in the direction of the sand”, the stove is placed in a bad position to burn off all bad omens in the house and turn the stove to the good side to attract good things.
According to feng shui, the kitchen belongs to the Fire and Water elements. Meanwhile, the East and Southeast directions belong to the Wood element, standing between Water and Fire. This is why the kitchen direction is usually East and Southeast, bringing balance to the kitchen. You can refer to how to set the kitchen direction in the direction of the house as follows:
How to set the kitchen direction in the direction of the house | |
The direction of the house | Kitchen direction |
East facing house |
|
Southeast facing house |
|
North East facing house |
|
West facing house | The direction of the house in the West is very good, so we can arbitrarily place the direction of the kitchen. However, the best directions that you should consider are:
|
Northwest facing house |
|
Southwest facing house | The direction of the house in the southwest is very bad, so we need to arrange the kitchen to face the best direction - Southeast. |
South facing house | Good kitchen direction:
Bad kitchen direction:
|
North facing house |
|
In addition, the direction of the kitchen is determined based on age of landlord and follow Bat Trach direction.
Bat Trach is an ancient science of feng shui, specializing in the study of the relationship between human qi (energy) and house space.

Locations where the kitchen should not be placed
Because of the metal element, the West direction is not suitable for the kitchen.
According to feng shui, placing the kitchen in this position will cause the male owner to have head problems and the female owner to have trouble in social relationships.
The kitchen at this coordinate makes the members of the house easily angry.
Family members are easy to quarrel and discord if the kitchen is placed in this position.
The stove placed close to the wall is like a house with a fulcrum. We should limit the kitchen playing empty in the middle.
The kitchen is a place where the smell of smoke and fire is stale, avoid placing it near sacred places of worship.
It would not be pleasant to let the smell of kitchen smoke haunt our resting area. The fire from the kitchen to the bedroom will make the homeowner feel suffocated and stuffy. If you put it close to the fire at the head of the bed, it also makes the sleeping person suffer from headaches, psychological instability.
The toilet is a place that is not very clean, so avoid placing it near cooking and eating places like the kitchen.
The crossbar is something that contains a lot of killing intent, so we must place the kitchen away from it, not in direct contact or use a panel to cover the bar. If doing wrong, the health and spirit of the female owner is at risk of being harmed and the members are susceptible to illness and illness.
This is the place where the prosperity of a house converges, so it needs peace, not a kitchen. It is best to place the living room in a central location.
