Feng shui derives from an ancient oriental discipline, is based on the five fundamental elements of the universe – fire, metal, earth, wood, water – and is based on the concept of simplicity, both from a stylistic and economic point of view. The elements of a construction must blend together in the most harmonious way possible, in materials, shapes and furnishings.
The style of the house must be as close as possible to the concept of what exists in nature, in fact it prefers natural materials, carriers of good energy. The architectural structure must appear with a shape that is as regular and symmetrical as possible, such as circles, spheres, octagons, avoiding as much as possible the edges that block the flow of energy.The entrance: access point of energy
The entrance to the house is very important for Feng Shui , as it represents the access point where the energy of Ch’i from the universe flows, for this it must be exposed to the South, the cardinal point from which the greatest energy comes, to avoid entering the North instead, because a cold and not very creative energy flows from there.
The entrance door must open inwards in order to welcome it, the space must not be interrupted by an excess of furniture or by the presence of edges or other obstructions, so as to let it flow freely.
The entranceit must appear bright and clean, opening onto something pleasing to the eye, such as plants, paintings or flower pots, preferably accompanied by a lamp or a wind chime that transforms the flow of the wind into sound waves, thus neutralizing the Sha Ch’i , that is, negative energy and transform it into Ch’i. Mirrors and reflective surfaces
It is the cornerstone of Feng Shui , as it activates the circulation of the Ch’i by reflecting back the negative energy, it must never be positioned in front of the entrance door, otherwise you risk getting the opposite effect, ie positive energyincoming is sent back through its own reflection. In the same way, seeing one’s own image reflected as soon as one enters the house gives us the idea of ​​being rejected from one’s home, therefore in contrast with the fundamental principle of hospitality. Plants
transmit the concept of a healthy and positive environment, absorb radiation from household appliances, counteract indoor pollution caused by paints, adhesives and toxic elements. Green is for Feng Shui, a symbol of prosperity. Remember to keep them healthy and take care of them to avoid the presence of dry leaves and to convey a feeling of order. The choice of color
The colors are used in combination with the 5 elements, together they generate and spread the energy of the Ch’i. So do not choose shades at random but remember that according to feng shui each color has a very specific meaning. For example, green has relaxing powers and for this reason it is particularly suitable for the bedroom, yellow evokes the sun and is ideal for the living area while blue is not recommended because it is too cold. So choose a color for the entrance that transmits energy and positivity for you and your guests.
Finally, remember that your entrance must be personalized with personal items. These are elements to which we do not attach particular importance. Choose objects that bring us back to a positive period or situation, such as a photo of a happy moment, loaded with symbolism and fundamental to restore energy.
