The porch is a transitional space in and out of the portal, which plays a turning point in home life, and the feng shui of the porch plays an important role in the feng shui of the whole home. So what should we pay attention to in porch feng shui? Let's bring the matters needing attention of porch feng shui.
Precautions for porch feng shui:
Orientation of residential porch:
The entrance is the throat of the house and the first impression of the entrant on a home. Entering the living room from the gate, the entrance as a buffer zone is the only way for the entrant to enter the room in a short time, so the orientation setting of the entrance is very important.
Entrance direction:
It is lucky that the entrance is located on the left or right next to the main entrance. But the porch should not be in line with the main entrance of the house, so that outsiders can easily peek into everything in the house, which is not conducive to the privacy of the house. Therefore, the entrance should be set on the left or right side of the gate.
Porch material:
It is best to separate the porch materials with opaque materials, because Feng Shui pays attention to "hiding the wind and accepting the gas", as long as it can achieve the effect of rotating the wind, it can also achieve the effect of resolving evil spirits. It should be noted that the size and height of the entrance should be equal to the size and width of the door, so as to play a sufficient role.
Houses not suitable for the entrance:
1, small apartment, setting the entrance will only reduce the residential space and make it more crowded. In residential geomantic omen, the space in the house is too small, which is not conducive to the family's luck.
2. The distance between the gate and the wall is too small, because the entrance is placed, which affects the inflow of air and directly affects the wealth entering the home.
3, the door is on the "ghost gate line", and it is not appropriate to set up a porch in the southwest.
4. Don't set a porch on your birthday girl.
The entrance should not be too narrow;
The entrance is the first thing you see. As the first space to enter, the entrance plays an extraordinary role. The design of the porch should be set according to the size of the home and the feng shui. There are large and small porch settings. Generally, 100 square meter apartment is relatively spacious in space, while the porch setting of small apartment is as small as possible to save space.
Although the porch is only a small space, it can't be too narrow. In terms of geomantic omen, the entrance should not be too narrow, too dark and too chaotic. The entrance is too narrow, making people feel cramped. On the other hand, it is impossible to keep secrets at home. Generally speaking, there are many decorative objects in this place, such as antique furnishings, hanging pictures, shoe cabinets, cloakrooms, mirrors, small stools and so on.
The porch is not suitable for looking at the door in a mirror;
The entrance mirror can not only be used to put instruments in and out, but also make the entrance brighter. But if the mirror of the porch is facing the door, it is not appropriate. The reason for this is the following：
1, facing the mirror door is easy to have fantasies, lack of concentration, and even lead to illness. In addition, if the mirror is in the sick position, it will spread the gas field of the sick position to the whole room.
2, the door to the mirror will affect the family's wealth, the reflection of the mirror, reflect the talent into the house, and shut the god of wealth out.
3. It is not suitable to install a mirror on the porch, which will make people look up and see the reflection on their heads and feet, giving people the feeling of hanging upside down and must be avoided.
There should be no beams on the porch roof;
There are beams on the porch, which is a taboo for geomantic omen. As the saying goes, "the money can't be turned over (that is, the money borrowed can't be collected)." A porch is like a person's neck. The beam presses the porch, just like the neck is pinched, naturally it is not smooth. In addition, this beam is like a hanging decapitation door. Every time I go in and out, it's like being cut off by a stone knife, which is not good for the family's luck.
If you can't change the position of the beam and porch, you can choose the following methods to solve it:
1, you can hang a set of ancient five emperors' money on the beam and use local gold to turn it into evil.
2. Well, fake ceilings can be used to cover beams, and the colors of ceilings in different directions are different. The rule is: the earthen ceiling is made of five emperors' gold, and the five emperors' gold/gram wood ceiling color.
3, under the beam and wooden ceiling has two ways:
A. Install round wall lamps on the left and right. Pay attention to the fact that the light of the wall lamps must shine upward, which has the power to support the beam.
B. Install a cornice foot on the left and right (called joist by geomantic experts), which is beautiful on the one hand, and can support the cross on the other hand to relieve suffocation.
The entrance should be well lit:
The porch must be full of yang, not yin. Light belongs to the sun, so the porch must be full of light. Lighting is installed at the entrance to increase the use of Yang. There is a strong sun in the porch, and my family is in a happy mood and my work is smooth. On the contrary, the gloomy porch gives people a gloomy feeling and is naturally unhappy.
Don't dim the porch lights. Most residential porches have no natural light source, so lighting can be used to remedy it. In addition to proper selection of transparent frosted glass, the color of wood floor, floor tile or carpet should not be too dark. For example, you can use wall-mounted ceiling lamps and nested wall lamps, or install ever-burning lamps to enhance the brightness.
The entrance should be kept clean and tidy;
Although the porch is a place where you take off your shoes, put an umbrella or hang your hat as soon as you step into the house, you should also keep it clean and tidy. Because shoes are dissatisfied with bacteria, they can't be put too high, so they can only be put in the shoe cabinet or shoe rack.
The living room porch should be kept clean and fresh, and some useless things that are reluctant to throw away should be put as little as possible. If there are too many sundries around, it will not only make the living room look messy, but also affect the health of residential feng shui and even his family. The living room porch is messy and dark, and the whole room will appear crowded and depressed. Some feng shui items, such as Kirin, can be placed on the porch.
The porch shoe cabinet should be taboo;
The entrance is generally equipped with shoe cabinets, clothes hooks, cabinets and other furnishings, or designed into other forms of furniture according to the actual situation. Set up a shoe cabinet to facilitate the owner and guests to change shoes.
From the perspective of Feng Shui, there is a saying that the top is a genius, the middle is a talent, and the bottom is a local tyrant. It is logical that the shoe cabinet should return to the ground. So in principle, the height of the shoe cabinet should not exceed one-third of the height of your home space. Attention should be paid to placing shoe cabinets on the porch:
1, the shoe cabinet should not be too high, and the height of the shoe cabinet should not exceed the height of the head of household.
2. The area of the shoe cabinet should be small but not big, short and not high, and the shoes should be hidden but not exposed.
3, the shoe cabinet must try to reduce the odor, otherwise if the odor spreads around, there is no good feng shui at all.
4. The toe should be upward instead of downward. When putting shoes, the toe must be upward, that is to say, step by step.
5, the shoe cabinet should not be centered, although the shoe cabinet is practical, it is difficult to be elegant. The appropriate side should not be in the middle, that is, the shoe cabinet should not be placed in the middle. It's best to move it to the sides and leave the focus of the center.
6. Worn-out shoes are earthy and should only be placed in the position of "local talents", while "talents" and "local talents" should not be placed in the position of worn-out shoes.
7. There are countless bacteria hidden in old shoes, so it is not appropriate to put them in a slightly higher position in the house, otherwise the space will be full of bacteria and endanger the health of family members.
These are all feng shui problems that the porch should pay attention to. The whole content of the matters needing attention in porch geomantic omen.
