These are items that homeowners should definitely not display in the door area. Ancient people believed that these things would make homeowners less fortunate, not attracting wealth.
Seeing a mirror when opening the door
A mirror is an item that we use daily to adjust our clothes and appearance before going out. Many people install a mirror right in the main door area for convenience, especially when they need to go out. However, placing a mirror right at the entrance of the house will affect the homeowner’s wealth.
The main door is where energy sources enter the house. If a large mirror is placed here, it will be difficult for the sources of prosperity to enter the house. The mirror will reflect and dissipate the wealth. Therefore, to maintain the prosperity of the family, homeowners should not install a mirror in the position right at the door, where it is visible as soon as you enter.
Additionally, hanging a mirror at the door can reflect light from the lamps and cause glare for users.
Seeing an empty vase when opening the door
According to feng shui beliefs, an empty vase is like a withered tree. Placing an empty vase right in the door area will make the wealth and luck of the family decline, and bring negative things and strain in the marital relationship.
Therefore, to enhance the prosperity of the family, it is advisable to place a fresh flower vase in the door area. If the empty vase is not used, it should be kept in hidden corners.
Seeing fake flowers, fake plants when opening the door
Trees and fresh flowers bring life to the house, welcoming wealth and positive energy for homeowners. However, displaying fake flowers and fake plants will have a counterproductive effect. Even if they resemble real objects, they are still artificial and lack vitality, unable to bring good luck to homeowners.
It is best for homeowners to avoid fake plants, plastic flowers at the entrance of the house to avoid losing wealth and inviting trouble to the family.
Seeing the bathroom, toilet when opening the door
This is one of the major taboos in the feng shui of houses. Since ancient times, the bathroom and toilet have been symbolic places of bad luck. Opening the door and seeing the bathroom will make homeowners struggle and easily encounter evil people, hinder the development of their careers.
If it is not possible to change the design of the house, homeowners should place a large partition to separate the main door from the bathroom.
Other notes on the design of the main door
Size of the main door
The size of the main door has a significant impact on the feng shui of the house. A small and narrow door not only makes it inconvenient to enter and exit but also blocks the flow of energy into the house. On the other hand, an oversized door dissipates energy. In terms of aesthetics, the door size should be designed to suit the structure of the house. It is best to follow the calculations and drawings of an architect for balance.
Do not have the main door facing the neighbor’s door
According to feng shui beliefs, having the main door of two opposite houses is not good. Because the doors facing each other will cause energy from one house to go straight into the other house, negatively affecting the homeowners.
Doors of rooms should not face each other
In modern architecture, a house is often designed with many rooms for family members and serving many different purposes. It should be noted that the doors of the rooms should not be designed facing each other. Each room will have a unique energy flow of the person in that room. Having opposite doors can cause energy conflicts, increase conflicts and discord in the family. If it is not possible to rearrange the doors of the rooms, it is recommended to use curtains to improve the situation.
