Cos so far i only know that the sink and stove cannot be next to each other due to water and fire cant mix. the logic if u put ur stove directly face window ,the wind will blow ur fire, so how can u cook? i heard in fengshui means, no wealth and no fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hihihi 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 To me it's more like a safety issue, stove face the (open) window can extinguish the fire. But if close the window should be fine. nowadays the kitchen is so short, the layout is actually more or less fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

two piece 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Oh... in terms of safety understand la... hee will just close the window when doing cooking. But too bad if in terms of FS, stove cant face window, then dunno wat to do laio, cos mine is a resale flat, the positionings are fixed by the previous owner. Though we can change it, but guess it would be costly and troublesome to do so.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
