The main door is the key connection between the inside and outside of a house. It not only guards the home’s Qi (energy) but also welcomes external influences. The main door is thus given considerable importance. Therefore, before decorating a new house, people often actively seek to understand many taboos and some even consult Feng Shui masters, hoping to bring good fortune to their homes. So, what are the three things you shouldn’t see when entering a house?
Mirror
From a Feng Shui perspective, a mirror should not be placed at the front door. Mirrors have the ability to reflect, and they can reflect Sha Qi (harmful energy) and evil spirits. Normally, mirrors are suitable for neutralizing negative energies. However, if a mirror faces the main door, it can reflect wealth Qi before it enters the house, which can negatively impact the residents’ career development and financial fortune, hindering the accumulation of wealth.
Shoe
Cabinet In modern life, people often place shoe cabinets at the entrance for convenience. However, from a Feng Shui perspective, this requires careful consideration. Shoe cabinets, which store shoes, should not directly face the main door as this can bring misfortune to the home. If a shoe cabinet must be placed, it should be on the right side to dissolve the negative Qi and bring good fortune to the residents.
Sharp Objects
Sharp objects, such as scissors, knives, or other pointed items, should not be encountered upon entering the home. According to Feng Shui, such sharp objects carry Sha Qi. Hanging them near the entrance can create a “Sharp Angle Sha,” which not only affects the fortune of the residence but can also greatly impact the family members’ financial and career fortunes.
Feng Shui Layout at the Front Door
It is generally recommended to place green plants at the entrance. Common plants include Lucky Bamboo, which has evergreen leaves all year round. Green symbolizes good luck and hope, indicating that the family will have more good fortune and a smooth path ahead. Placing a Money Tree implies that the God of Wealth is coming, bringing wealth to the household and a happier and more prosperous life for the family.
