Feng Shui: A South-Facing Front Door

March 4, 2020 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy that incorporates bringing positive energy from the outside world into our homes. This positive energy is referred to as qi. There are several elements of energy the outside world provides in which can be facilitated in our homes. Water, fire, earth, metal, and wood are all elements that help balance our home’s energy. In order to master Feng Shui, there are thousands of techniques that can be used in your home. From the color of your doors to where you place your furniture in your home, these factors can all have an influence on your home’s qi. If you have a south-facing front door, here are the colors you should consider painting it:

Creating Feng Shui

Doors can be crucial factors used in Feng Shui. Each direction can have an influence on Feng Shui. South is read on a compass 157.5 to 202.5. There are eight directions in which a door can face. South means the best energy for your door is fire energy.

South Corresponds with Fire Element Colors

South doorways are in correspondence with fire or flame energy. Fire energy is revitalized by wood energy as well. With Fire energy, warm-tone colors like red, orange, and yellow can be very impactful. You can also evoke energy from the flame energy by using purple or deep pink. When trying to captivate the energy from wood, consider using colors like green or brown. Your best options are to go with the fire energy, but wood energy colors can be great accents for the doorway or as your second option if needed.

Avoid

Flame energy does not do well with north-facing energy. North energy is water energy. Keep away from using watercolors such as blue or black. Earthy tones as well can be destructive to the powers of fire. Keep away from earthy tones as well.
