Feng Shui Theory of the entrance Door
According to feng shui theory, the bedroom door should not face the main entrance. The bedroom is a place for rest and requires a quiet and private environment. The main entrance is where family members and friends pass through. Therefore, having the door facing the main entrance does not meet the requirements for a quiet bedroom. A direct confrontation between the door and the main entrance can easily affect health and financial fortune.
In ancient times, there was such a saying: “Three taboos for the door“. These three taboos are： not seeing the stove when opening the door， not seeing the toilet when opening the door， and not seeing the bed when opening the door.
Methods for Improving the Feng Shui
Inconsistent opening direction inside and outside
✘ Outward door hinders public corridor (violates fire regulations). Inward door occupies entry space (requires >90cm opening radius).
Preferred solution: Outward opening meets safety standards. For limited space: choose sliding doors or Dutch doors (small door stays open; main door for emergencies).Methods for Improving the Feng Shui of the Front Door of a House
Weak security protection
✘ Thin/light door body: Steel plate <1mm thickness. Lacks anti-theft reinforcement (vulnerable to force).
✘ Low-grade locks: A-level lock cylinders (<1 min tamper resistance) or inferior smart locks create security flaws.
Upgrade: Grade A security door + Grade C lock cylinder. Smart locks must feature anti-EMI and dummy PIN code functions.
Poor sound/thermal insulation
✘ Door frame-wall gap >5mm + missing seal → air/water leaks & weak soundproofing.
Fix: Fill gaps with foam + elastic seals. Install automatic drop-down seal at door bottom.
At the entrance, install a foyer, partitions, or screens to alter the direction of the airflow when entering.
Among the several methods, this one is relatively more effective!
- Place broad-leaved plants, wine cabinets, etc. between the entrance and the bedroom.
You can place a semi-transparent fully open storage rack or a wine cabinet about 2 meters high right in front of the door, about 2 meters away from the door.
- Hang a curtain between the entrance door and the bedroom.
This method comes at the cost of sacrificing the overall aesthetic effect! The curtain hanging there really doesn’t look very nice! But it is the perfect solution.
