How to decorate the entrance of your house using Feng Shui
The entrance to a house represents a very important part of Feng Shui. When it comes to decorating, all of the positive and negative energies enter and leave through the door. If you're decorating your home and want to maximise the benefits of this technique, check out this article at OneHowTo.com about how to decorate the entrance of your house using Feng Shui.
Steps to follow:
Lighting plays an important role in the decoration of the entrance to the house, according to Feng Shui. A house with an entrance that's well lit, bright and with light colours like yellow, will always be a house that's welcoming. Remember that the entrance is the first thing that your guests will see. Never leave the entrance to your house dark. If there's no window, install decorative light bulbs in the ceiling so that there's always light.
A table at the entrance of the house is important, preferably a wooden one. A table is the ideal place to display photographs that show happy family moments, representing the positive energy that exists in the home and counteracting any negative forces that can upset the balance of the house.
The perfect colours for receiving your guests are those that transmit a feeling of peace, reflecting the cosiness of the house and making them feel at home. Lighter colours are recommended like yellow, melon, orange, peach and salmon.
On the back of the door , Feng Shui experts recommend placing the Pa Kua symbol to cultivate harmony and be at peace with the universe. You can find them at any store specializing in Feng Shui and it should be placed in a mirror.
If the entrance to your house has steps, you should place a small mirror on your door in order to reflect the bad energy back out of the house.
At the entrance to the house, it's important to have a coat rack where people can leave their belongings. Such as keys, coats, purses and feel that they've come home. Avoid placing mirrors on the walls to either side of the entrance, because they can steal the life energy of the house's inhabitants and visitors.
The entrance should never show any living spaces such as the kitchen or bedrooms, and if so, you should keep the doors closed.
