After a long and tiring day, there’s nothing like sinking into a cozy sofa in a neat and tranquil space to help you unwind. However, walking through the door to a messy home can prolong that stressful and exhausted feeling.
Many feng shui and psychology experts believe that tidiness not only creates a spacious living area but also significantly improves one’s mental state. This is why, during the Lunar New Year holiday, Vietnamese people often do a thorough house cleaning, not only to welcome the new year but also to get rid of negative energy.
A clean and organized home can easily attract wealth and luck, as well as provide a relaxing and positive atmosphere. So, in addition to regular cleaning, don’t hesitate to get rid of unnecessary items to keep your home a true energy-boosting sanctuary.
2. Avoid having the front door directly facing the bathroom
The bathroom is typically a damp and humid area that can produce unpleasant odors and requires privacy. If your front door directly faces the bathroom, not only will the musty smell permeate the entire living space, but it will also be inconvenient and impolite, especially when you have guests over.
So, what can be done about this? An effective solution is to remove the wall separating the kitchen from a small room, creating an open kitchen and dining area. Additionally, construct a small wall in the entryway area. This design not only provides extra space for a sink and storage but also prevents the front door from directly facing the bathroom, adding convenience and aesthetics to your home.
3. Avoid having the front door directly facing valuable possessions
While owning valuable possessions is a source of pride and convenience, the old saying, “wealth should not be exposed,” still holds true. Having your valuables directly facing the front door can give off an impression of showing off, and it may attract unwanted attention from thieves, increasing the risk of loss.
Therefore, when arranging your living space, avoid placing valuable items right by the entrance. Instead, keep them in private areas such as bedrooms or offices, and use display cabinets or discreet shelves. This will not only protect your possessions but also enhance the aesthetics and interior style of your home.
4. Avoid having the front door directly facing sharp corners
According to feng shui principles, sharp corners create negative energy, leading to a sense of tension and invisible pressure, which can disrupt the peace in a family.
Accidentally bumping into a sharp corner in the dark or in low light can also cause injuries, contrary to the desire for a safe and comfortable living environment.
Therefore, from the initial design or renovation stage, consider building an additional wall, using furniture to block the corner, or rearranging the layout to neutralize the negative impact.
5. Avoid having the front door directly facing a mirror
In feng shui, mirrors reflect energy. If the front door faces a mirror, the positive energy entering the house will be reflected back out, which is considered highly unfavorable.
Even disregarding feng shui, seeing your reflection or the space behind you in a mirror as you open the door can be startling, especially at night or in low light.
If you must have a mirror near the entrance, place it on the side instead of directly facing the door. Combine it with coat hooks, a shoe bench, or other entryway furniture to soften the visual impact when entering the home.
