How to Feng Shui Your Entryway

Feng shui is a wonderful way to create improvements in your life simply by aligning the items in your home. This article explores ways you can use the timeless principles of feng shui to optimize the energy of your entry.

Aside from the front door itself, the entryway (or foyer) is the critical space in our home for first impressions. In fact, feng shui considers this area (including the front door) the mouth of qi, from which all opportunities flow into our lives. It’s a space of transition, shifting from your instincts’ high-alert status (outside in the busy, hustling world) to their more relaxed and comfortable state (in a safe, comforting home’s interior). The success of a good feng shui entryway is not really about what particular entryway it is, but rather what has been done with the entryway no matter what it is.

(Interesting tidbit: In feng shui, a red front door attracts positive energy into the home. A black front door attracts wealth into the home. Not sure about what a red-and-black door would do, though…)

A feng shui entryway in a studio apartment is going to look different than a feng shui entryway in a large rambler. But the vibe of each will be quite similar – welcoming, restful, and entrancing.

For the entryway that isn’t an entryway, meaning the home whose front door literally opens into the living room or a hallway or similar, it’s important in feng shui to create a space that buffers the outside energy rushing into the space when the door is open. This might be achieved with an area rug and a coat rack and chair – something at all the height levels that accommodates the person entering gracefully and allows them to pause.
