[Washing Machine Placement]Does the feng shui of the washing machine pay attention to the hidden mystery of the washing machine?
The feng shui of the washing machine is exquisite
The washing machine is related to the stomach and heart of the human body. Stomach and heart belong to fire earth, washing machine is extremely fire earth. Coupled with the fact that most modern washing machines have a drying service, laundry has become a very popular behavior.
Under normal circumstances, men’s stomach problems are mostly related to the washing machine placed in the northwest of the home; and the hostess’ stomach problems may be related to the washing machine placed in the southwest.
The current home furnishing is in the middle. According to the area, functional division, etc., people usually choose between the bathroom, kitchen and balcony where the washing machine is placed.
Whether from a practical point of view or from a feng shui perspective, the bathroom is the ideal place to put a washing machine.
The toilet is easy to run and drain, and it will not be exposed to the sun for a long time like a balcony; and people can directly put their clothes into the washing machine after taking a bath, which is very convenient. From the perspective of feng shui, the five elements in the bathroom belong to yin water, and yin water is unable to overcome fire.
If the bathroom is too small to place the washing machine, you can take the next step and place the washing machine on the balcony. It is very convenient to dry clothes on the balcony, and it is generally far away from the area with frequent activities, so it will not be affected.
It needs to be reminded that the most suitable balcony for placing the washing machine is: east and southeast, both of which belong to wood, and wood makes fire (washing machine belongs to fire).
In general, try not to put the washing machine in the kitchen. From the perspective of the five elements, the kitchen belongs to fire, and the washing machine also belongs to fire. Excessive anger will cause people to be short-tempered. The washing machine also has the characteristics of water.
So, unless it is a last resort, for example, the bathroom and balcony are too small to fit the washing machine at all, so the washing machine has to be placed in the kitchen.
In the Book of Changes, there is a saying: “Fortune and misfortune, regret and miserliness are born of action,” and “every action must be answered.” In home feng shui, please don’t underestimate the washing machine.
Washing machine placement selection
When purchasing home appliances or renovating a new house, homeowners have to consider the actual situation of the room and the home appliances to be purchased Whether the size matches, when buying a washing machine, you should not only consider whether the size of the washing machine and whether the size meets the reserved position, but also the water supply and water problems of the washing machine, and whether there is an available water source and a convenient floor drain nearby. Unless it is a large and luxurious house with a separate laundry room, these trivial problems are faced by every householder. Where should an essential washing machine be placed?
The house is expensive, and the area of the home is a real price. Everyone definitely wants to make their house look more transparent and spacious, and this effect can also be achieved by coordinating the placement of furniture and appliances. How can we coordinate the placement of home appliances? “Mutting parts into whole” is the most common method used by many householders. The refrigerator and smoke stove must be placed in the kitchen, and the water heater is installed in the toilet, but this washing machine is really a headache.
Washing machine, toilet? Yes, yes, what should I do if I am afraid of getting wet? There is a living balcony at home, how about putting it on the living balcony? If there is really no space, the washing machine can also go to the kitchen to squeeze a squeeze; I heard that the clothes dryer is popular abroad, then we will buy one, but where should we put it? Seeing that foreigners put washing machines and dryers on top of each other, is this possible?
You can’t let the washing machine “have nowhere to stay”, where is the best place to put the washing machine, don’t worry, listen to the editor’s analysis and analysis, there must be something you didn’t expect. If one place doesn’t work, let’s move to another place. There is no washing machine here… It means that this place is not suitable for washing machines, and there is a lot of knowledge and attention to the placement of washing machines!
● The most traditional place for the washing machine: the bathroom
If I ask my parents, where is the washing machine? They must have opened their mouths and said, “Put the toilet!” That’s right, washing machines are electrical appliances that often deal with water in the minds of users. Of course, they should be placed in places where water collection and drainage are more convenient, and such places must be non-bathrooms. None.
But why is this the most traditional placement? The author has seen many uncles and aunts’ homes. After a lifetime of hard work, they have obtained a big house. The bathroom is spacious and bright with bright windows. Not only the dry and wet areas are separated, but the sun is full of sunlight on weekdays and the ventilation is smooth. It is not easy to enter the bathroom. To accumulate water vapor, many of them will choose to place the washing machine in the dry area next to the sink, which is convenient for water collection and better drainage.
However, for many hard-working house slaves, the house is small and the bathroom is also small. If you do the separation of dry and wet, you may not be able to take a shower and even turn your body. Such a bathroom washing machine will definitely not fit; Under the condition of long-term humidity and water accumulation, the accumulation of water vapor can easily corrode the motor inside the washing machine, and it is also easy to breed bacteria.
● What should you pay attention to when you have to put the toilet in the bathroom
If the washing machine has to be placed in the bathroom that cannot be separated from wet and dry, you need to pay attention to the first One is moisture-proof, the second is moisture-proof, and the third is moisture-proof!
The washing machine is placed in the whole bathroom. First of all, to avoid the erosion of the body by the accumulated water in the shower, you can design a washing machine placement table, and raise the height of the washing machine, so that the accumulated water will not erode.
Some people will design the countertop of the washing machine. After the washing machine is installed, other objects can be placed on the countertop. It looks very convenient, but when using the countertop of the washing machine, pay attention: the size must be measured well; such The countertop is only suitable for front-loading washing machines with side doors. If it is an inclined drum, it is necessary to measure whether the angle of the door will conflict with the edge of the countertop; it is not suitable for toilets that are too humid, and water droplets are easy to accumulate in the space between the countertop and the fuselage. And these crevice spaces are not easy to air dry.
● The most fashionable washing machine: Living Balcony
The traditional apartment design of the old house, the bathroom is a small piece. In comparison, the design of the new apartment is more user-friendly. It may be considered that the small bathroom is not good for the washing machine. Many apartments have also designed a living balcony with a small area. Many users choose to put the washing machine on the washing machine. Here, compared with the formal lighting balcony, the design of the upper and lower water of the living balcony may be more convenient.
Compared with regular lighting balconies, living balconies generally do not occupy the sunny side of the room, so that the washing machine and the clothes to be dried will not be tortured by “exposure”. Ventilated and dry, it is an ideal place to place the washing machine. However, the area of the living balcony is generally very small, most of which are about 1-2 square meters. How to use this part of the space reasonably is more critical.
● Pay attention to where to put it on the balcony in time for fashion
Whether it is placed on the balcony of the sun or the living balcony, it is convenient for drying clothes. If you need to put the washing machine Put it on the balcony, and be sure to design the water supply and water during the decoration, so as not to re-knock it out after the decoration is completed. How troublesome this process is, I believe many householders have suffered from this.
If there is only a balcony with lighting, be careful not to expose the washing machine to the sun when it is placed on the balcony. It can be designed to be placed in curtains, or in the corner of the balcony with better shading. If necessary, you can use the washing machine as a sunscreen. The advantage of putting the dust cover here is that at least you don’t have to worry about the problem of water vapor.
● The most frustrating place to put the washing machine: under the kitchen cabinet
The balcony is not big and the bathroom is not big, so is there no place to put the washing machine? Don’t worry, there are always people who have the same problem as you. When there is not enough space in the balcony and bathroom, some netizens put the washing machine under the kitchen cabinet… But this requires a relatively large price. First of all, the height of the washing machine can be said to indirectly determine the height of the matching cabinet. In addition, such The placement settings make it only possible to choose drum products, and you have to pay attention to whether the distance between the opening direction of the drum door and the opposite wall is sufficient… All in all, it is really helpless to place the washing machine in the kitchen.
Let’s not talk about the space problem first, the kitchen is a place with heavy fumes, so people are more worried about the cleanliness of the washing machine, so they have to keep the washing machine and the smoke stove far away during installation, and try to wipe as much as possible. Wipe the surface of the washing machine, otherwise, when you see a greasy washing machine when washing clothes, I think no one wants to use such a machine to wash clothes, right?
● I have no choice but to squeeze the kitchen to reserve enough space
The space design of the kitchen is generally a long strip. In order to be neat and beautiful, the thickness and height of the washing machine , The width should be unified with other cabinets. Some householders will measure the size of the washing machine in advance and then design the matching cabinet. When measuring the size, don’t forget to reserve the space for the pipes on the back of the washing machine, so as not to design the cabinet space. , After the washing machine is installed, it is still highlighted outside the cabinet because the pipes are not considered, which is not only unsightly, but also has a discount in practicality.
The plumbing in the kitchen is more complicated, so it is necessary to take into account the water supply and water issues of the washing machine when decorating, so as to avoid the trouble of rework.
Learning from a foreigner: Is it feasible to put a washer and dryer on top of one another?
Some friends who pay more attention to the quality of life have also purchased a clothes dryer, but due to the limited space in their homes, the placement of the clothes dryer has become a headache. Clothes dryers are more popular in foreign countries, and foreign housing space is relatively large, so you can choose this kind of equipment that separates washing and drying clothes. The author saw on the Internet that a friend bought a clothes dryer, and finally There was nowhere to put it, so the installer had to put the dryer and washing machine on top of each other.
Fortunately, the size difference between the washing machine and the dryer is not much different. After consulting the installer whether the dryer can be placed on the washing machine, the installer’s answer is also very worrying: “We It’s always been like this before.” The netizen said that the installer installed a fixed rack on the washing machine, and then punched holes and installed the dryer on it…
Considering the dry clothes The weight of the machine is also not clear, I am more worried about the problem of squeezing the washing machine; moreover, this netizen also said that no matter whether the washing machine or the dryer is used, the vibration of the machine will make her worry about another idle machine. In addition, when the washing machine was purchased, a faucet was specially installed on the wall above the washing machine for the convenience of water use; The faucet makes the dryer difficult to install and has to be moved out as a whole.
For users who want to buy a clothes dryer, the author reminds everyone to try not to put them on top of each other. Long-term squeezing is not good for the fuselage, and the external vibration and mounting brackets It cannot guarantee the stability of the fuselage very well, and it will also bury potential safety hazards when using it. If conditions permit, try to make the machine work “down to earth”.
Conclusion: To sum up, the placement of washing machines should be considered according to different apartment types and designs, but whether it is placed in the bathroom, balcony or cabinet, the most basic and most important thing is to pay attention to Put the washing machine in a place that is easy to drain, dry, ventilated and not exposed to the sun. The most important thing is to reserve the size. The size should not be too strict, and there should be a loose space.
