TL;DR
Avoid direct stove-sink face-offs, keep the stove backed by a solid wall, and maintain clear prep flow.
Why it matters
Fire and water clash when they face or touch; separation creates steadier energy.
Fixes you can try
Start with no-renovation moves before heavier changes.
1
Fixes without renovation
Add a buffer between stove and sink, and keep prep zones clear and dry.
2
Fixes with renovation
Reposition the stove or sink to avoid direct alignment and improve the work triangle.
3
Check it on a floor plan
Map the triangle between stove, sink, and fridge to spot clashes.
