The design principle of the porch cabinet is that the bottom is solid and the top is empty, open but not transparent, sparse but not exposed. The height is roughly equal to the gate and the width is not less than the gate. It is best to keep a distance of 1.2 m or more between the entrance cabinet and the gate, and the minimum distance should not be less than 1 m.
Don't be too dark in the upper part of the porch cabinet, so as not to be heavy on the top and light on the bottom, forming an upside-down pattern. There should be three ways to open a house: open the door to see happiness, open the door to see life and open the door to see luck. The lower part of the porch cabinet can be selected in red and green colors that match the five elements of the head of household, and lucky ornaments and evil spirits can be placed in the middle and upper parts.
Most families like to design the porch into a shoe cabinet. In the porch feng shui of the shoe cabinet, shoes will be contaminated with gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which is usually messy. If you leave your shoes in the house casually, you will bring the "bad breath" outside to the house, which will directly affect your family's fortune.
In the porch feng shui of shoe cabinets, the placement of shoe cabinets is very particular. According to Feng Shui, Qinglong is a lucky beast, but the white tiger is usually regarded as a fierce beast, which will bring disaster to people. Therefore, if the porch shoe cabinet is facing the gate, the shoe cabinet should be placed in the white tiger position of the gate, which can suppress the evil spirits of the white tiger. If the shoe cabinet is put in Qinglong by mistake, the health of children at home will be threatened.
Secondly, in the feng shui of the porch cabinet, the direction of the shoe cabinet also needs attention. For families whose heads are engaged in civil work, the shoe cabinet should be placed in the porch, that is, in the southeast. The heads of households are blue-collar workers and other families who make a living by labor, so the shoe cabinets should be placed in the military position, that is, in the northwest. This can help the owner's career.
