In Feng Shui, the entryway is the first location where the chi energy enters the house. It is important to construct an inviting entrance for opportunity, wealth, and relationship. Here are 7 useful insights to improve your entryway Feng Shui and maximize the benefits of good energy.

1. Front Door Play a Major Part

The front door is one of the most important area for good home Feng shui. It co-exists with the entryway in the same area, so it has a great impact on the energy flow in the home too.

Here are some basic front door Feng Shui tips:

• It should be made of solid and sturdy wood and avoid windows on the door. It will help to heighten the sense of security.
• Check your door regularly and ensure the lock is working fine
• Check for chips and crack and fix it
• Ensure that your main door is the largest door in the house. Size of the main door should be proportional to the house

Follow these main door feng shui tips can make a difference to the Feng shui in the house.

2. Remove Clutter From the Entryway

It is advisable to keep clutter away from the main entrance since it is the first point of entry. The most effective way to keep it minimal and clean.

Do not place messy shoes, bags, umbrella and trash bins in this area. You can always place them in a closed cabinet and move the trash bin to another location.

3. Shy From Mirror Facing Directly Towards Main Door

Have you noticed that many people love to install mirrors at the main entry to make the space look spacious and also more convenient? Besides that, it also helps to make the entry look brighter because it reflects natural lighting from outside.

However, some practitioners advise against it. They believe that a mirror facing the main door pushes away Chi, instead of welcoming energy into the house.

Alternatively, you can strategically install the mirror on a side wall near the door to have the same effect. Just ensure that it does not reflect any sharp objects or other room’s door

4. Have Good Lighting

Appropriate lighting plays an important part in attracting good vibes into your house. Have you ever been to a house where darkness occupied this space? It will definitely affect your mood negatively and makes you feel uncomfortable.

It is good to install overhead lighting at the entry to brighten this space. Always choose lighter colors to create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. This is the main reason why some Feng Shui consultants advise you to install overhead light at the main entry or foyer of the house.

5. Choice of Display and Decor at Entryway is Important

The entryway is considered the most public place of all rooms where outsiders can easily peek and see what is happening inside. It is advisable to display artworks with positive meanings to set the correct tone of the house. Avoid displaying personal items like family photos and etc to protect your privacy.

6. Bring in Green Lushes

Incorporating plants into a particular space is an effective way to fill it with positive vibes. In addition, if you are faced with any negative energies caused by external factors, like a lamppost, etc, you can also use a large plant to serve as barrier protection.

With that being said, you must also practice due diligence to nourish and maintain them. Choosing the right kinds of plants for your main door does matter too.

7. Create a Welcoming Feel with a Mat or Rug

A mat at the doorstep add an inviting feel instantly to the environment. It is good to have one but avoid choosing those that have your family name on it, because you also don’t want to be stepped, right?

There is also another practice to choose the color of the mat based on the door facing direction.

In concludsion, if you follow and apply these useful tips to Feng Shui your entryway, you are encouraging positive energy into the house.
