Color of Your Front Door

Welcoming Friends, Family and Energy The Care and Colour of Your Front Door Virtual Feng Shui Course

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.” – Flora Whittemore

Have you ever stopped and considered the door you rush in and out of daily? Its color, its condition? It’s easy to overlook, acting as a trusty servant, silently bidding you farewell in the morning and eagerly welcoming you home in the evening. While the care and color of your front door might seem trivial, they play a crucial role in the appearance of your home, its perceived sense of welcome, and its ability to generate Chi (positive energy). In Feng Shui, the front door is where energy enters your home. Adding Feng Shui principles to your front door invites positive energy inside.

While Flora Whittemore might not have been thinking of Feng Shui when she spoke those words, her sentiment rings true. The care and color of your front door profoundly influence your life. The healthier and more balanced the door, the more beneficial the energy is for those inside. So, how do you ensure your front door boosts your fortune? How do you select the perfect color from countless options? The answer lies in a blend of logic and Feng Shui principles.

How to Ensure Your Front Door Will Improve Your Good Fortune:

  • Begin at the curb, and observe the path to your door. Curvy, winding paths are favorable. A straight route can cause energy to rush in. If this is the case, positioning plants on either side of the door can help temper this energy. Round-leaved plants are ideal, as they attract Chi and prevent poison arrows.
  • Illuminate both the pathway and the door. If your door is recessed, provide extra lighting to make it prominent.

  • Stairs leading to your door can cause energy to dissipate, but round-leaved plants at the entrance can counteract this.

  • Remove clutter from the entrance as it hinders positive energy. Dead plants, in particular, should be discarded.

  • Clear any obstacles in front of your door, such as seasonal decorations or furniture.

  • Ensure everything works. From the door’s lock to its hinges and even the doorbell, everything should function seamlessly.

  • Regularly clean your front door with a damp cloth.

  • Use your front door daily to maintain the flow of energy.

  • Examine your door’s condition. If it needs repainting or the paint looks worn, consider selecting a new color.

Choosing the Right Color for Your Front Door

Your door’s color affects your home’s curb appeal. But the choice isn’t as simple as picking a favorite shade. Consider the home’s style, personality, and each color’s Feng Shui meaning.

  • Purple: Denotes nobility, wisdom, and insight.

  • Red: Represents fortune, happiness, passion, and strength.

  • Pink: Symbolizes love, compassion, and joy.

  • Beige: Embodying attraction and romance.

  • Orange: A color of happiness and social power.

  • Yellow: Stands for tolerance, wisdom, and optimism.

  • Green: Signifies growth, hope, and balance.

  • Aqua: Represents growth and strength.

  • Blue: A calming hue, promoting healing.

  • White: Denoting purity, hope, and new beginnings.

  • Black: Reflecting spirituality, wisdom, and elegance.

For recessed doors, choose a color that accentuates it, helping it stand out and appear welcoming.
