The
Main Door
In
Feng Shui, the main door has been accorded prime
importance as it lets in or keeps out the vital
life-giving force that promotes health, wealth and luck.
The
best position for the main door is in the middle of the
house. However, if your house faces the correct
direction, it becomes irrelevant if the front door is
positioned in the middle of the house or to one side.
If
the door is not in the desired position, create as much
space as possible in front of it and keep the area
uncluttered. You could also paint the door in the colour
that relates to the direction the door is facing.
