Clutter and Mess
A cluttered entryway with trash, shoes scattered everywhere, and piled-up objects will hinder the flow of positive energy. According to Feng Shui, the front door area is the “mouth of chi” of the house, where wealth enters. If the entrance is blocked, good fortune and money will struggle to flow in.
A messy doorway with trash strewn about can be suffocating and uncomfortable for both the homeowners and guests. It also accumulates negative energy or “sha chi”, affecting one’s health and mood. Furthermore, it blocks financial opportunities, leading to potential financial strain.
Solution: Homeowners should regularly clean their entryway, keeping it tidy and spacious. Take time to organize shoes neatly, using shelves or designated cabinets. Avoid placing unnecessary items such as trash bins or old furniture near the doorway.
Withered Plants and Sharp Objects
Withered plants, sharp objects such as knives and scissors, and metal items placed near the front door are considered bad Feng Shui. Withered plants symbolize decay, while sharp objects create “sha chi”, driving away wealth and causing disharmony within the family.
A withered plant at the front door can make one feel lethargic and drain the house of its vitality. Sharp objects inside the house generate negative energy, leading to arguments or minor accidents. This also makes it difficult for the homeowner to attract good fortune, resulting in stagnation in career and finances.
Solution: Replace withered plants with vibrant ones like money plants or snake tongue plants to attract wealth. Alternatively, store sharp objects safely away from the doorway. Additionally, clean the front door regularly and consider decorating with Feng Shui items like wind chimes or quartz crystals to enhance positive energy.
Placing a Mirror Opposite the Front Door
Positioning a mirror directly opposite the front door is a serious Feng Shui mistake. Mirrors reflect and push away positive energy, causing wealth to “enter and then exit” the house, making it difficult for the family to accumulate wealth.
When a mirror is placed this way, it can lead to financial losses, with money earned quickly spent. It also creates a sense of unease, leading to a lack of focus and increased stress. Furthermore, it affects family harmony and can cause conflicts.
Homeowners can relocate the mirror to another position, preferably in the living room or bedroom, ensuring it doesn’t directly face the door. If relocation is not possible, cover the mirror with a cloth or curtain when not in use.
Enhance the front door with Feng Shui decorations like a “Fu” character painting or a Guan Gong statue to attract and protect wealth.
