Kitchen-Bath Adjacent厨卫紧邻 · IF-9-A
TL;DR — Core Definition
Kitchen-Bath Adjacent (厨卫紧邻) is a traditional interior feng shui formation in which a kitchen and a bathroom share a wall or sit immediately next to each other, placing fire and water associations in direct contact.
| Formation | Kitchen-Bath Adjacent |
|---|---|
| Visual cue | Kitchen and bathroom sharing a wall |
| Nature | Cautionary (煞) |
| Five-element remedy direction | Buffer fire and water with a wood-element transition |
Why it matters in traditional feng shui
Fire (kitchen) and water (bathroom) are traditionally seen as opposing elements; placing them in direct contact is read as a clash that benefits from a buffer.
How to recognise it
Check whether the kitchen and a bathroom share a dividing wall or open directly beside one another.
Traditional remedy direction
Traditional balancing introduces a wood-element transition between them — the element that mediates between water and fire in the generating cycle.
