The Feng Shui effect of doors in home decoration
Doors are an indispensable household item. Doors have a very close relationship with the flow of internal and external air, because internal and external air cannot pass through the solid walls of the house, but can only pass through the doorway. Exterior doors affect the flow of outside air into and out of the home, while interior doors have a huge impact on the internal air in the home. The moment everyone enters and exits their home every day, they will be affected by the feng shui of the door. Therefore, how to arrange the door, what direction to pay attention to, etc. are crucial to each of our users.
(1) Open the left door: In Feng Shui, it is auspicious to have a bright hall in front of the door. If there are greenery, flat land, pools, parking spaces, etc. in front, opening the middle door is the first choice. If there is no bright hall ahead, it is better to open from the left. In other words, most doors should be opened from the left: the so-called green dragon on the left and white tiger on the right. The green dragon on the left is suitable for movement, and the white tiger on the right is suitable for quietness, so all doors should be opened from the left. Open is auspicious, that is to say, the door handle should be placed on the left side when people are facing from the inside out. Opening the door upside down can easily lead to family disputes. It is even more unlucky to open the north gate as the Xuanwu Gate. It is called the Ghost Gate abroad, which also means "defeat", so you must be careful when opening the north gate at home.
(2) When installing the door, you must clearly see whether the wood grain is parallel or reverse. Usually, the lines that appear from bottom to top are along the lines, and the lines that appear from the top to the bottom are against the lines. Doors that follow the grain make the home peaceful and smooth, while doors that go against the grain may make the home unstable and unsmooth.
(3) The height of the door should be proportional. Usually seven feet is used as the standard. A door that is too high will cause people to lose their sense in doing things, be greedy and vain, and have a dangerous look. If the door is too low or too small, it will appear blocked, everything will not go smoothly, and vigorous energy will not come in, which may cause people to lose confidence in doing things or cause many setbacks.
(4) The door cannot face the elevator: The door of the building cannot face the elevator door. This will cause adverse effects on wealth and make the residents prone to diseases.
(5) The door cannot be in a straight line with the window, the back door or the toilet: the door and the window are the openings for qi to enter and exit the house. The door cannot be connected in a straight line with the window and the back door, forming a front and rear door. Crossing each other makes the qi flow through the hall and cannot gather in the house, so wealth cannot be gathered, so it is called withdrawing wealth. The toilet is a space for people to relieve themselves. It is not clean in nature, so the door should not be directly facing the toilet. Having the door directly facing the toilet will make financial investment mistakes and damage your family's wealth.
(6) A porch should be set up between the main door and the living room: the key to Feng Shui is "like to circle around, avoid to rush forward". An entrance hall or a low cabinet is set up between the door and the living room to provide a buffer between the inside and outside, allowing the Qi to circulate and gather in the living room. The inside of the house is also hidden, making it difficult for outsiders to spy on it. The interior of the house is hidden and deep, symbolizing endless blessings.
(7) The outer door, inner door, inner door, etc. cannot be on the same straight line. This is a heart-piercing evil. If the front and back doors pass through each other, wealth cannot be gathered. In addition, the door leading to the end will cause a lot of trouble. If there are several rooms in the house connected together, you must not set up several doors that lead directly from the main door to the bottom. You should also avoid having a long corridor connecting several rooms in a row like a hotel or restaurant. Otherwise, affairs or elopements may easily occur. Peace at home is hard to guarantee.
(8) There should not be two or more colors on an independent door, otherwise, it will give people a scattered and repetitive effect.
(9) Try to avoid having arched doors in the house. The circle represents movement, and the home should be quiet, so it is not suitable. Moreover, the round arch shape also looks like a tomb door, which is very unlucky. For aesthetic reasons, square arches can be used instead.
(10) The door should open inward and not outward. Because the door owner takes in air, if the door is opened outwards, it will send the peaceful air into the house, which will lead to bad luck and loss of wealth.
(11) The way of the door: The entrance is the entrance to the house that receives air. It should be clean and bright, and should not accumulate debris to avoid hindering luck. You should avoid two doors facing each other or overlapping and parallel, otherwise it will damage your health, career and family peace; two doors biting each other will cause frequent quarrels in the family. If you open the door to see the wall or the activities in another room, it will disrupt the flow of Qi in the body and cause physical discomfort. Large rooms such as bedrooms and living rooms should have large doors, and small rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens should have small doors. Because the large door will have a certain oppressive effect on the small door, if the bathroom door is too large, health and character problems will occur, and the family will suffer from indigestion.
