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.
Fixes without renovation
Add a buffer between stove and sink, and keep prep zones clear and dry.
Fixes with renovation
Reposition the stove or sink to avoid direct alignment and improve the work triangle.
Check it on a floor plan
Map the triangle between stove, sink, and fridge to spot clashes.
Scenarios covered
Stove facing sink, stove facing door, stove on island, sink facing window, fridge next to stove.
When it is OK
- Stove and sink are offset and not directly facing.
- There is a counter buffer or island between them.
- The stove has a solid back and no window behind.
When to dig deeper
- Stove faces sink or the front door directly.
- Fridge or sink crowds the stove.
- Cooking feels cramped or chaotic.
