Feng Shui entrance door
The life force energy circulating in the Universe brings wealth and prosperity to every person living on earth. In Feng Shui of an apartment, the door to the outside is of great importance in the process of energy circulation. It is through this that positive Qi energy passes into the house. In this regard, there should be a lot of open space in front of the front door for energy accumulation and there should be no obstacles to its passage. Energy constantly accumulates near the front door, and people entering and leaving cause it to circulate.
Negative Sha energy can be carried into the house by gutters, any sharp corners, as well as satellite dishes, lamp posts directed towards the front door.
Entrance door placement
As mentioned above, good Feng Shui of the front door depends directly on its location. If you have a two-story house, then do not place the toilet on the second floor above the front door. This will cause big trouble. In addition, try to ensure that the bathtub and toilet are not located above the hall. Otherwise, they will unwittingly ruin the feng shui of your front door. But, if such an arrangement cannot be avoided, then try to move the main entrance to the other side. Or use the back door as your front door. But this is not always possible. Then, in order to somehow correct the situation, you need to hang a bright lamp in the hall, and, if possible, not use the toilet on the second floor. This is not much, but it will clear the atmosphere in the house from unfavorable energy.
Also, the toilet should not be in line with the front door. Otherwise, all the positive energy and good luck that enters through the front door will immediately evaporate and be “flushed” down the toilet. If this is the location of your toilet, then Feng Shui experts advise always closing the toilet door.
If the toilet is located a little away from the main entrance, then to symbolically disguise it, hang a mirror on the toilet door.
Staircase and entrance door
The location of the staircase relative to the front door is also important. A very unfavorable sign if the stairs are located in front of the door. And it doesn't matter whether this staircase goes up or down. The shorter the staircase, the less damage it will cause to your home.
If you are unlucky and the staircase is located right next to your front door, then in this case, you need to hang a bell and a very bright light bulb or lantern on the outside center of the wall above the door. This will disperse half of the negative energy, but it will be even better if you fence off the stairs with some kind of barrier.
And if the staircase is not only located right in front of the entrance, but is also red, then this will bring great misfortune to your home and family.
In some houses you can see two staircases in the hall right next to the door, one of which goes up and the other goes down. This situation is very unfavorable for the home. This arrangement of stairs leads to instability in the house, and residents of such a house should not count on success and luck in business.
Mystical nature of the item
Since ancient times, people have been superstitious, and many things and household items were endowed with magical properties. Mirrors were no exception, so with their help they performed secret rituals, fortune-telling for the betrothed, and summoned spirits and souls of the departed. It is still believed that the sparkling surface makes it possible to bifurcate reality, creating two different, parallel worlds. In addition, it preserves the energy of objects and people reflected there.
At all times, many signs and beliefs have been associated with the mirror. According to Russian tradition, it was considered a diabolical creation, claiming that Satan gave this object to people so that they could communicate with their other self, and not with God. The Old Believers were generally forbidden to bring mirrors home.
Many signs and customs have much in common in the cultures of different countries:
- For most nationalities, a broken mirror foretells the death of someone close, the loss of a friend, or seven years of grief and misfortune.
- The Scots, like the Russians, cover reflective surfaces if a family member dies. Similar superstitions are found among representatives of African and Indian tribes.
- Brides should not look in the mirror. It is believed that the wedding will be unsuccessful and the married life will be short. To neutralize the negativity, it was necessary to remove the glove from one hand.
- The mirror surface poses a terrible danger at night. It is believed that it is capable of reflecting a trait. Therefore, most Slavic peoples were forbidden to look into a mirror or water surface after sunset.
Rus' also had its own signs:
- Children under one year old were not allowed to look in the mirror, nor were two girlfriends at the same time; it was believed that one would steal the groom from the other.
- A long look directed deep into the reflective panel could cause premature fading.
- In order not to look ugly and not give away your beauty to the other world, you had to refrain from eating in front of the mirror.
- When a person left the house, he lingered in front of the mirror, looked at himself from head to toe, at the same time unconsciously giving the order to his reflection to protect his home.
Eastern practices endow this item with the ability to fill the home with the right energy and create a cozy atmosphere. According to Feng Shui, reflective fabrics can attract and distribute invisible currents, affecting health and influencing life. That is why ancient teachings do not recommend placing mirrors opposite mirrors. It’s not for nothing that Chinese wisdom says: “If you want to change something, look in the mirror.”
Impact of other doors on the front door
It is very bad feng shui when three doors are on the same straight line. But the worst thing that can happen is that there may be a back door opposite the front door. Avoid this arrangement of doors at all costs.
But if you are unlucky and the doors in your house are located this way, then Feng Shui masters recommend placing some kind of screen or partition near the middle door. This way, fast-moving energy will slow down and be less harmful.
A hanging bell or flute can also help you stop fast-moving energy. But this method is not as effective as installing a barrier.
But, no matter what method you choose, you need to act very quickly, because this arrangement of doors is very dangerous.
Never make a bedroom opposite the entrance. Otherwise, unfavorable energy will enter your bedroom, affecting your life in the worst way. If possible, make the bedroom in the farthest room. If this is not possible, then we recommend installing a screen to separate the entrance door from the door to the bedroom. But if there is not enough space in the hall, then you can hang a curtain or blinds on the bedroom door.
When several doors are opposite each other, the residents of an apartment or house will be in constant confrontation. If three doors are located so that they form a triangle, this means that there will be constant scandals and quarrels in this apartment. But in this situation, an air bell can help, which needs to be hung in the center of the triangle. This will dispel negative energy and improve the atmosphere in the house. Bright light in this space can also help.
Position of mirrors relative to doorways
Mirror located in the hallway
The ability to use mirrors in the art of Feng Shui seems to be a great success. So a typical object is endowed with the power to reflect and attract Qi energy. Incorrect placement can lead to the most serious consequences. The Chinese have long been aware of the hidden and dangerous power of mirrors, and attached special importance to them. Often mirrors are placed in the hallway, considering the typical location to be quite convenient in relation to several target directions:
- Hanging mirrors in the hallway of an apartment visually increases the space. The reflection of small hallways, inherent in the layout of multi-story buildings, in mirrors gives a visual expansion of a small area.
- An additional reason for the placement of large mirror surfaces in a small hallway corridor is the ability of the surfaces to reflect both natural and artificial light, which makes the area lighter and therefore larger.
- Of course, the use of mirror surfaces in the hallway at the exit of their apartment also has a direct function. So, before leaving the house, everyone wants to see their own reflection, making sure they look decent before going out into the world. The mirror opposite the door, as many people think, seems to see off the inhabitants.
When asked whether it is possible to hang a mirror opposite the front door, regarding the opinion of adherents of ancient Chinese culture, the question is clearly negative. Why this is not possible is explained by this factor simply by the ability of mirror surfaces to reflect the main flows of energy coming into the house.
Thus, you cannot use a mirror hung opposite the entrance doorway in a building; it does not allow positive energy to penetrate and settle in the home. Frivolous handling of the magical properties of mirrors can create an imbalance in the home and in the lives of its inhabitants. Why surfaces cannot be used in an unordered manner is discussed below:
- The decision to hang a mirror cloth opposite the entrance to the building is fraught with loss of money earned. So there will be a feeling that money, as it were, comes in full for needs, but tends to quickly dry up. You can't treat mirrors so lightly.
- When a mirror is placed opposite the entrance opening to a home, its inhabitants may feel constant fatigue, and even anger. Thus, the positive energy that comes into the house, without having time to enter, is reflected from the mirror surface, being instantly thrown back. A person simply has nowhere to get a charge of positive energy.
- Among other things, the reflection of the front door in a mirror is fraught with a loss of positive energy in the house. The whole range of positive energy, the health of family members, vitality and luck, simply flow through the surface of the mirror out of the building and nothing can be done except to rehang the canvas.

A few simple tips regarding the correct placement of mirrors in a building will help you use typical surfaces to the greatest advantage:
- It is better to place the reflective surface somewhat away from the entrance opening, so that the reflection of incoming visitors and household members occurs casually. So the surface will serve as a kind of distributing device for Qi energy, freely flowing into the house.
- The most advantageous and correct arrangement of mirrors is accentuated on the surface of the entrance door itself, which multiplies and accumulates energy.
- Excellent hanging of mirrors with the reflection of something beautiful and sublime: flowers, paintings. A greater flow of positive energy is thus ensured.
The mirror should not reflect negatively, it should be pleasant to look into it, and do it preferably in a good mood.

Windows and front door according to Feng Shui
If the front door and window are on opposite walls, this is very bad. Favorable energy will not linger in your home. This arrangement will lead to the fact that luck will not linger in your home. A good option is when the windows are on a wall perpendicular to the door. Then the positive Qi energy can settle and accumulate in your home. This arrangement of windows and the front door is very important when the house has floor-to-ceiling windows.
Dear visitors to our website, we understand that it is impossible to do everything as Feng Shui experts advise. But at least this is what we should strive for. Good luck to you and may luck always be with you!
