Feng Shui Home Entrance

In Feng Shui, main door or entrance is given very high degree of importance and that’s because it’s the main door from where the Qi energy enters into your home.

Now, I’m sure that you’re aware of the problems that very fast or extremely slow moving Qi and misbalance of 5 elements (and colors) can lead to and that’s why its extremely important that you feng shui the entrance of your home.

Here, I’ve assumed that you’re aware of feng shui and concepts of Qi energy; if, by any chance, you aren’t then please read the article @ Feng Shui to understand the concepts. Furthermore, if you’re planning to feng shui your home, then our room by room feng shui guide @ Feng Shui House is surely a big help.

Feng Shui Home Entrance

Feng Shui Home Entrance – Why To Do It

Since a house is “the place” where we all tend to retire , relax and enjoy after strenuous day of office and work, we want the place to be comfortable, relaxing, calm, welcoming, cozy and everything positive that you can think of off the top of your head.

Now, having a feng shui compliant entrance helps to usher in health, wealth, happiness, prosperity, calmness, love, trust and a lot of positivity into your home and that’s what we all want. Isn’t it?

Furthermore, a feng shui compliant main door also tries to keep all sorts of negative energy away from your home thus saving you from landing into many troubles and issues.

Feng Shui Main Door – Here’s How To Do It

As said earlier, we don’t want very fast or slow moving Qi to enter our home; in fact, the type Qi that we all need – or rather want – to enter our houses is the moderately moving one and that’s because a really fast moving Qi brings in lot of anxiety and an extremely slow one brings lethargy.

Now, in order to have such a Qi enter our home and have a balance of 5 elements, we need to feng shui our house’s entrance and here’s how to do it! (in do’s and don’ts format)

Main Door Feng Shui – What To Follow

  1. Make the entrance, welcoming, cheerful, happy and inviting; all in all, it should be very positive.
  2. Make sure that the main door is larger than other doors.
  3. Let it open inwards and clockwise.
  4. It should open in to a big space and not a cramped one. For cramped spaces, use mirrors to make it look big. Read more about mirrors @ Feng Shui Mirrors
  5. If there’s an altar that faces the living room then it’s very auspicious.
  6. The door must be 90 degrees to the ground and not leaning inwards or outwards.
  7. Use best quality materials for main door.
  8. The main door mustn’t make any noise while opening or closing.
  9. Keep the entrance well lit.
  10. Make sure that the entrance is visible; if it isn’t then place plants and lights to make it visible.
  11. Hang a beautiful name plate and keep it well lit too; this’ll help auspicious opportunities to find you easily.
  12. If there’s a crack or dampness in the main door then either get it repaired or change the door.
  13. Place three coins tied with red ribbon under the ground or rug inside the main door.
  14. A good feng shui tip is to place a photo of 100 birds near the entrance as it symbolizes 100s of opportunities flying your way.
  15. Placing fortune plants is another good feng shui trick.
  16. Placing plants next to the home’s entrance is very good feng shui; just make sure that the plants don’t block the entrance.
  17. If there’re plants near the entrance of the home then they must be thriving, well maintained and not dead.
  18. A pair of Foo Dogs helps to prevent negative energy entering your home.
  19. Placing a pair of dragon inside main door is considered auspicious.
  20. A water fountain towards right side of the door is good feng shui; this brings prosperous energy in the house.
  21. Placing statue of any friendly animal, religious figure (such as Buddha) or an angle provides stability.
  22. Put a bright and colorful welcome mat at the entrance.
  23. Keep the path that leads to your home, clutter free and clean; remove broken sprinklers, old newspapers, dead leaves and plants etc.

  2. Avoid sliding, circular or slanting type of doors as entrance.
  3. Avoid another house’s main door facing yours.

  7. Avoid doors that close automatically.

  12. Avoid keeping the main door dull; you can have some nice carving or designs on it.

Main Door Feng Shui – What Colors To Use

Now, it won’t be a new thing if I tell you that colors mean a lot in feng shui; also, as with everything else there are some feng shui tips for choosing colors when it comes to main door.

Here, I assume that you’re very well aware of the relationship between colors, directions and the 5 elements. If – by any chance – you aren’t then please read the article @ Feng Shui Colors, Directions & Elements to know more.

Now, to make it really easy for you to understand what color to choose for your main door, I’ve created a small table (that you can see below); do have a look at it and you’ll understand feng shui colors for home entrance in a jiffy.

Below table shows you how to choose the best color for the main door of your home depending upon its direction.

Direction Color(s)
North Blue or Black (prefer Blue)
South Red or shades of red.
East and South-East Wooden color (make sure it’s a shade of green and not brown; brown is color of earth. Avoid colors resembling dried out wood; it represents decay)
West and North-West White color is good
North-East and South-West Yellow, brown, pink or ochre shades

Apart from all this you also need to pay very special attention and need to look for any poison arrows that may be directed towards your home’s entrance. Since remedying poison arrows are a very important part of feng shui, I’ve dedicated the next section of the article to them, so just read on.

Feng Shui Home Entrance – The Poison Arrow Angle

Poison arrows are one of the worst things that can point to your home; they tend to alter the movement of calm and positive Qi to a fast and rapidly moving one; and that’s what we – definitely – don’t want to get into our home.

But there’s something more bad about poison arrows and it’s that they’re present in many shapes, ways and forms;

Here are some:

  1. shape edges from another building
  2. staircase in front
  3. cemetery near entrance
  4. Light pole in front of main door

And those are few – in fact – very few.

But that’s certainly not the end of the world as there’re remedies that you can apply if you ever happen to live in a home that’s got poison arrows aimed at it.

Now, depending upon the direction from which the poison arrow is coming towards your home, you need to apply the remedy.

Again, for ease of understanding and simplicity, I’ve created a table that’ll reveal to you the remedies that you can – and must – apply in case you find a poison arrow towards your home.

Here’s the table:

Direction Element To Use Item To Use
North Earth or Wood Place a plant or crystal
South Water or Earth Place water fountain or a crystal
East or South-East Metal or Fire Place a wind chime or light
West or North-West Fire or Water Place light or water fountain
South-West or North-East Wood or Metal Place plants or wind chime

Feng Shui Stairs

Stairs or staircases (as some like to call it) aren’t a new concept when it comes to multistory home. They have been in use since ages and chances are that they aren’t going anywhere in future too! Stairs allow everyone to move from one floor to another with ease (more ease while coming down). Now, in feng shui, stairs have a bad repute, although not as bad as toilets, but bad enough to make you pay special attention towards having feng shui staircase in a home.

Here it’s assumed that you’re well aware of feng shui concepts like Qi energy and its movement; if you aren’t then you can learn about feng shui @ Feng Shui. For learning complete home feng shui, head over to the room by room house feng shui guide @ Complete Feng Shui House Guide.

Feng Shui Stairs

Feng Shui Stairs – Why Are They Important?

In the previous section, we stated that stairs have a bit of a bad repute in feng shui and here’s the reason why; you must know that stairs are heavy – in fact very heavy – structures; hence, they tend to exert pressure wherever they’re located, what this means is that they’ll try to suppress the benefits or positivity of the area of the house where they are located.

Here are a few examples that’ll clear the air for you:

Example #1: If, in a home, there’s a staircase in the wealth section of a house i.e. in South-East, then the financial condition of the residents of that house won’t be strong. Now, in no way does this means that the family will go bankrupt (however they may, if there are other severe defects in the house), what this means is that the family will face struggle when it comes to money. They may earn a good amount but won’t be able to save anything. They’ll face unnecessary, unexpected & unwanted expenses.

Example #2: Suppose a staircase is situated in the health area of the house i.e. in East, then there will be some or the other medical issue that’ll keep troubling the residents of that house. No matter what they do, no matter how good of a doctor they consult, the issues will remain there.

We hope that the above 2 very simple – but easily possible – examples will make you believe as to why you must be looking to feng shui stairs in your home; because – no matter what happens – you’ll never want yourself or your family to walk the path of difficulty and misery.

Feng Shui Stairs – How You Can Achieve It!

Ok, in this section of the article we’ll deal with the actionable stuff i.e. the rules and regulations of feng shui that you need to keep in mind and apply while making staircase in your home.

As said earlier, there are certain rules and regulations when it comes to feng shui staircases and below we’ve listed those rules just the way you like them – in do’s and don’ts format.

So without any more delay, let’s just jump into action and learn what needs to be followed and what needs to be avoided as per feng shui for stairs.

Feng Shui Stairs – What to Follow

  1. Try to keep 1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 14, 17 or 22 as the numbers of steps in a staircase.
  2. Keep the stairs well lit. Do fit uplights on landings.
  3. Make sure that the stairs are sturdy.
  4. Use shades of light and soothing colors for staircases.
  5. You can use wood, metal or concrete as materials for making stairs.
  6. It’s better to have wooden stairs in South, East and South-East of a home.
  7. If you’re making stairs in North then you can use metal.
  8. Concrete stairs can be made in North-East, South-West, West and North-West.
  9. Do remember to place a pair of Foo Dogs (Available on Amazon US, IN, CA, UK, DE, ES, FR & IT) to prevent bad or negative energy going upstairs.
  10. Make sure that the steps are comfortable; they shouldn’t be too steep or too shallow.
  11. Make the staircase wide enough for everyone to use it easily.
  12. If there’s a curved staircase, then make sure there aren’t much turns in it and try to keep the staircase clockwise.
  13. If stairs are located in front of the main door of the house then place a screen, partition or curtain to block the view of stairs from entrance. More on home entrance feng shui @ Feng Shui Main Door
  14. A crystal chandelier, at the start of stairs is good feng shui.

Feng Shui Stairs – What to Avoid

  1. No stairs at the center of a home; it’s like having something very heavy at the heart and that’s never a good feng shui.
  2. No broken stairs; if any of the landings is broken then repair it immediately.
  3. Stairs shouldn’t face any corner of the house.
  4. Never let a stair face another stair.
  5. No staircases near home’s entrance.
  6. Avoid top or bottom of stairs facing main entrance.
  7. No toilets at start or end of a staircase.
  8. No staircase in front of bedroom’s door.
  9. Never have red colored stairs; it brings misfortunes.
  10. Never make a kitchen, bedroom, dining room, bathroom/toilet and cash locker under staircase.
  11. Never place or store water under a staircase.
  12. Avoid spiral staircases.
  13. Please avoid stairs in East, South-East and South-West of your home as they rule Health, Money and Love aspect of your life respectively.
  14. Avoid creaky or weak materials for making staircases.
  15. Avoid any spaces between landings in a staircase. The space between landings means leakages and that’s a bad feng shui.
  16. Never place mirrors on staircases. Read our article @ mirror feng shui to know more.

With this we come to the end of this article; as you now have a very good knowledge of feng shui stairs, we believe that you’ll apply the tips that we’ve mentioned above and make the stairs in your home a feng shui compliant one.

Furthermore, we hope and sincerely believe that you really liked the above information on feng shui stairs. Hence, we request you to please do share this information to all the people you know.

Feng Shui Dining Room

In feng shui, dining rooms are given a very high degree of importance and that’s because it’s “The Room” where a family is “supposed to” dine and spend a real quality time together.

I said “supposed to” because in most houses dining rooms are seldom used (for dining) and they – tend to – become “dumping rooms” for all sorts of things that can’t find a place elsewhere in the home; here’s a list of few – really few – items that are usually dumped in dining rooms:

  1. kid’s toys
  2. old cabinets
  3. seldom used travel bags
  4. laundry clothes

and the list goes on and on.

However, you must understand that piling all these items – that don’t actually belong – to the dining room has a very – and very I mean – negative effect on feng shui of dining room.

In fact, I can go ahead and boldly state that piling clutter in any area of a home or office is bound to deteriorate feng shui for that area because they restrict the free flow of Qi energy in the house.

Note: Here, I assume that you’re aware of feng shui and Qi energy concepts; if you aren’t then please read the article @ Feng Shui & Qi Energy.

Having said that, I nowhere mean that you can’t have kid’s toys or laundry clothes in the house, what I am trying to say is that just keep them at appropriate places and don’t let them clutter your house.

Now, I know that you want to learn – and really understand – feng shui dining room tips, so, without any delay let’s jump right away to those.

Feng Shui Dining Room

Feng Shui Dining Room – Here’s What You Need To Do

  2. Maintain balance of colors in dining room; don’t make it too bright or overly dull.
  3. Dining room must be well ventilated and it should receive plenty of sunlight.

  17. Be relaxed, calm, happy and stress-free while dining; in fact be this way always.
  18. Always keep something on the dining table; you can keep fruits on it; apples help develop friendship, pears are good to attract positive energy, peaches aid in good health and oranges symbolize richness and prosperity.
  19. If fruits aren’t your choice then you can keep flowers on dining table. Just make sure not to use dried flowers, they imply deterioration.
  20. Make sure to have meals with your family daily; however, if that’s not possible then at least have a meal together once a week.

Feng Shui Bathroom (How A Bathroom Flushes Prosperity & What You Can Do About It)

Alright, so we’re in the article that’ll reveal to you – general and direction-wise – feng shui bathroom and toilet guidelines, rules, regulations, concepts and remedies. But before we begin, I must tell you an undeniable fact or a concept of feng shui towards a bathroom or toilet, here it is:

“Bathrooms and toilets have got a really bad reputation as far as feng shui is concerned”.

and here’s why: As per feng shui, bathrooms and toilets (I’ll call them bathrooms from hereon for sake of simplicity) have the tendency to drain or flush away the positive “Qi” energy of your home.

Hence, if “Qi” enters the bathroom (read as bathroom or toilet) then rest assured that it’s flushed right away out of your house and that’s what we certainly don’t want to happen.

Note: Here, I assume that you’re completely aware of concepts of feng shui and “Qi” energy; if – by any chance – you aren’t then please read the article @ Feng Shui and the concept of “Qi”.

Feng Shui Bathrooms

Ok, coming back to the topic of bathrooms; since each and every part or corner of a house is related to an aspect of life, hence a bathroom in one particular corner or part would affect that specific area of life; this is what I’ve explained further – with examples – in the next section of the article, so, just read on.

Bathroom Feng Shui – Why You MUST Do It

As said earlier that each and every part or direction of a home is related to a specific aspect of life and a bathroom in that part will drain the luck or benefits of that aspect of life.

Here are some examples:

A bathroom in South-East: – Since South-East part of a house is related to wealth, a bathroom in this part will drain away all the money from the house; joblessness, sinking income, increasing debt and even bankruptcy are some effects of South-East bathroom.

In North-West: – The North-West part of the house deals with helpful people and luck from heaven, a toilet in this part will drain away all those from you. No help from anyone, backstabbing, office politics, discredit etc. are some effects of North-West bathroom.

and the list can go on and on for other directions too.

Now, there’s an image in the article @ Colors and Directions that’ll reveal to you the relation between directions and the aspect of life ruled by each direction. You can have a look at that image and you’ll be able to understand the good aspect – of your life – which a bathroom in that particular direction will drain away.

But hey, a bathroom or toilet have to be somewhere in the house. Isn’t it? The answer to that it yes, they can be in the house but remember wherever they are they’ll – at least try to – reduce the benefits of that direction(s).

Hence, it’s vital to have feng shui a bathroom in the home; this’ll minimize – or possibly eliminate – the draining or flushing of “good” from life; so, the next question popping in your mind would be how to have a feng shui bathroom? That’s exactly what I’ve detailed – in do’s and don’ts format (I know you love it) – you in the next section of this article, so just read on.

Bathroom Feng Shui – How to Do It

So, here we are, in the second section of the article; the section that deals with the actionable things when it comes to bathroom feng shui.

Here in this section you’ll find feng shui bathroom tips – as promised, in do’s and don’ts format – all you now need to do is to just go through these tips and apply them to the bathroom and toilets of your home so that they aren’t able to drain luck, money, love or anything positive from your home.

Here, I’ll suggest you, that before you start reading feng shui bathroom tips, you must read the article @ Feng Shui Colors; that’s because once you read – and really understand – the essence of that article, you’ll be able to understand the reasons for – most of – the remedies that are mentioned below.

However, if you don’t read that article, that’s completely ok, the remedies will still work; but in that case you’ll just be applying the remedies without knowing the exact science or reason behind the remedies. Anyways, it’s all up to you.

So, without any more delay, let’s raise the curtain and start learning feng shui bathroom tips.

The tips 1st to 8th are general bathroom tips (which can be applied to any bathroom or toilet); number 9th to 13th are direction specific feng shui bathroom tips i.e. you must apply them if your bathroom is located in that particular direction.

  13. If there’s a bathroom in West or North-West then;
    1. Just place an urn with water in the bathroom.

Feng Shui Kitchen Tips (Kitchen Colors, Layout & More)

A feng shui kitchen is vital for each and every home and that’s because a kitchen has got lot of fire energy associated with it. Now, it’s not a rocket science to know that only controlled fire is beneficial; an uncontrolled fire destroys anything and everything in its way; this even holds true for the “fire element” that kitchen has plenty of. This is one of the simplest – yes extremely important – reason to have a feng shui kitchen in a home.

Feng Shui Kitchen – What Is It?

To make you understand – in simple way – the meaning of feng shui kitchen, I want you to consider the words “feng shui” and “kitchen” separately and then I’ll combine both the terms.

Here’s what each of the term means:

Feng Shui: – It’s an ancient Chinese science of creating happiness and abundance by altering or modifying the movement of chi energy and by balancing the effect of elements and directions. You can read more about it @ Feng Shui. However, as per now, just understand that it’s the science that creates positivity and suppresses – or even destroys – negativity.

Kitchen: Kitchen is the place where healthy, nutritious and yummy food is cooked; the same food – once consumed – gives you and your family the energy and stamina for day-to-day chores. Furthermore, as said earlier, a kitchen has a lot of fire element involved and it’s always better to keep the “fire element” under control; this is why you must make it feng shui compliant.

Now, combine the two terms, i.e. “feng shui” and “kitchen”; what you’ll get is a feng shui kitchen; a kitchen that can – and has – all the ability in the world to ward off any – or all – negativity while, simultaneously, enhancing positive energy in your home. The same positive energy then spreads into your home making you and your family happier, healthier and optimistic and everything good that you can think of.

Hence, it’s important – and important I mean – to always have feng shui kitchen in your home.

  7. You can have a sink in North or North-East of kitchen.
  8. Keep the gas stove/burner a few inches away from wall.
  9. Keep at least 1-2 feet distance between stove/burner and kitchen sink. If there’s no option then place small plants (Available on Amazon US, IN, CA, UK, DE, ES, FR & IT), pot of herbs or something in green color between stove and sink. You can also place a green color decorative glass panel between stove and sink.
  10. Point 9 applies for refrigerators too; you must keep 1-2 feet distance between stove and refrigerator in kitchen.
  11. Repair all leaking taps and faucets in kitchen (or anywhere in your home) else that’ll drain away all money and wealth from the house.

Kitchen – 14 Things to Avoid

  2. Avoid a kitchen at center of home.
  3. Never have a kitchen under a toilet. More on toilets @ feng shui toilet.
  4. Avoid kitchen directly under a bedroom. More about bedroom @ feng shui bedroom.
  5. Avoid keeping soiled utensils and platform overnight.
  6. Never have a kitchen in North-West of home; if there’s no option then paint the kitchen in blue or black color or change the floor tiles to black color.
  7. Never place the stove directly in front of kitchen’s entrance door.
  8. Never ever in any case keep gas stove/burner in North-West of kitchen.
  9. Avoid kitchen door facing a bedroom, toilet or main door of your home; if there’s no option then place a partition or a sort of screen such that the stove isn’t visible from other doors.
  10. Always avoid keeping gas stove under a beam; if there’s no option then make a false ceiling to solve this defect. Another – simpler and cost effective – remedy is to place or hang images of clouds, flying birds or a rising hot air balloon on the beam.
  11. Make sure that the cook doesn’t have his/her back towards the door of kitchen; if there’s no option then place a mirror in such a way that the cook can see the kitchen’s door while cooking. However, make sure that the stove’s flames aren’t reflected in that mirror. More on mirrors @ Feng Shui Mirror Placement
  12. Make sure not to place kitchen’s entrance in any corners.
  13. Never face west while cooking in kitchen; this may – and in many cases has – lead to severe health problems to the cook.
  14. If the cook faces south while cooking then the family faces monetary losses.

These were all the general guidelines that you must follow to have a feng shui compliant kitchen in your home.
