First, the placement of flowers
The ceiling should be high rather than low: if the ceiling at the top of the porch is too low and oppressive, it is an unlucky omen in geomantic omen, which symbolizes that the family is oppressed and restrained and it is difficult to get ahead. The ceiling is high, and the air circulation in the porch is more comfortable, which is also of great benefit to the gas transportation of the house.
The color of the ceiling should be light but not heavy: the color of the ceiling at the top of the porch should not be too dark. If the color of the ceiling is darker than the floor, it will form an upside-down pattern, which symbolizes that there is something wrong with the family, and the ceiling is light and heavy. This is a normal image.
The lanterns on the ceiling should be Fiona Fang, avoiding triangles: the lighting arrangement at the top of the porch should be round and square, not triangle. Some people like to install several downlights or spotlights on the top of the porch for lighting, which is a good arrangement, but if the three light areas are laid in a triangle, it will be self-defeating and form? Three sticks of incense? The situation is very unfavorable at home. If arranged in a square or a circle, it is not a problem, because the circle symbolizes reunion, while the square symbolizes founder and stability.
Second, the compartment of the wall.
The grid between walls should be solid and empty: facing the entrance of the gate, the lower part is mainly brick wall or wooden board, which is solid and stable, and the upper part can be decorated with glass to make it transparent and leak-proof. If the porch is not a wall, it can be replaced by a low cabinet and decorated with glass or transparent wooden frames. The low cabinet can be used as a shoe cabinet or a glove box, and it can be inlaid with frosted glass, which is both beautiful and practical, and conforms to the principle of solid head space. It must be noted that glass is different from mirrors. Mirrors that can reflect light are usually not allowed to face the door, because they will reflect the wealth of the family, while frosted glass does not have such concerns.
The wall color should be moderate: whether it is wood, brick or stone, the wall compartment color of the porch should not be too dark, so as not to make the porch look lifeless. The most ideal TINT is the brightest ceiling at the top, the darkest floor at the bottom, and the middle wall in between, as a harmonious transition from top to bottom.
The interval between walls should be smooth: the entrance is the main passage for residential access, and smooth walls and floors will make the air flow unimpeded. However, if the porch decoration is made of protruding stones, it will be uneven, and there will be many obstacles in housing traffic, which must be avoided as far as possible.
Three. Floor layout
The floor of the entrance should be flat: a flat floor can make the house run smoothly and avoid falling and wrestling. At the same time, the ground of the entrance should be kept flat as far as possible, and there should be no difference between high and low.
The floor color of the entrance is darker: dark color symbolizes massiness, and dark color symbolizes deep roots, which conforms to Feng Shui. If it is required to be brighter, it can be surrounded by dark stones, and the middle part can be made of light stones. If you choose to lay a carpet on the porch, the reason is the same. You should choose a carpet with dark sides and light colors in the middle.
Don't be too sharp in the design of the porch floor: there are many designs on the porch floor, but you should choose auspicious content. Be sure to avoid using patterns with many sharp corners. Punching doors with sharp corners is absolutely inappropriate to avoid family instability and accidents.
The wood grain of the porch floor should not be directly facing the door: the wooden floor of the porch, no matter what kind of wood, should be arranged in a wood grain inclined to the house, such as running water flowing obliquely into the house, but the wood grain should not be directly facing the door, which is unlucky.
The floor of the porch is too smooth: some people tend to polish the floor of the porch very smoothly in order to beautify the porch. This practice is very self-defeating, which is not ideal from the perspective of home safety, because family members or guests are prone to slip and get injured.
Underground drainage pipes should not cross between the gate and the entrance, so as to avoid polluting the entrance when changing money and water inside and outside, which will lead to poor health of family members and poor economic prospects.
Fourth, the placement of shoe cabinets.
It is logical to put a shoe cabinet on the porch, because it is very convenient for both the host and the guest to change shoes here. And then what? Shoes? With what? Harmonic? Homonym means harmony, and shoes must be in pairs, which is very meaningful. Family needs harmony and harmony most, so entry shoes are very lucky. But even so, there are still some aspects to pay attention to when placing shoe cabinets in the porch.
The shoe cabinet should not be too high or too large: the height of the shoe cabinet should not exceed the height of the head of household, and it is not appropriate to exceed this scale. The area of the shoe cabinet should be small rather than large, short rather than high.
Shoes should be hidden: the shoe cabinet should have a door. If the shoes are piled up in a mess and there is no door to cover them, it will be very unsightly. Some shoe cabinets cleverly arranged on the porch are elegant and natural. Because there are doors to cover them, they can't be seen from the outside, which is in line with the secret way.
Feng shui attaches importance to airflow, so the shoe cabinet must try to reduce the odor, otherwise if the odor spreads around, there is no good feng shui at all.
The toe cap should be upward, not downward: most of the shelves in the shoe cabinet are inclined, and the toe cap must be upward when putting the shoes, that is, step by step; If your toes are down, it means you will go downhill.
The shoe cabinet should not be centered: although practical, it is difficult to be elegant. So in addition to the above points, we should also pay attention to the side not in the middle, that is, the shoe cabinet should not be placed in the middle, so it is best to move to both sides and leave the center of gravity.
Sixth, the landlord God of Wealth.
In modern times, many families worship gods, with a view to their ancestors' blessing, health and longevity, and rich financial resources. However, it is not appropriate to put traditional shrines in modern houses. To eliminate this contradiction, it is necessary to adopt the layout method according to local conditions.
The landlord is one of the most frequently worshipped gods in this house. Other gods can still move into other hidden corners of the house, but the landlord must stand at the door, because the landlord's real name is Dragon God, and both the front and rear landlords should face the door and collect money from all directions outside the door to enhance the wealth of the house. The landlord is also the patron saint of the house. If the door stands, you can keep the monsters out.
The best way for the landlord to put it is to dedicate the shrine to the porch closet facing the door, which is less conspicuous and does not lose the principle that the landlord should stand towards the door. Because the landlord has been enshrined on the ground for a long time since ancient times, even if it is placed next to the shoe cabinet, people come and go every day, and there is no problem.
The floor cabinet can be used as a shoe cabinet or a glove box. In order to match with the nearby environment, the exterior color can be arbitrary, but the interior of the cabinet must be painted with gold dots on a red background.
As for the god of wealth, it is not appropriate to put it at the entrance of the porch. There are two kinds of God of Wealth: Wu Caishen, such as martial artist Guan Gong, and Marshal Khufu Zhao Gongming, who should stand at the door. However, if the God of Wealth, such as Fu Lushou, Samsung and Caibo Xing Jun, face the door, they will give them money outside the house, which will be self-defeating. Therefore, even if the god of wealth is placed on the porch, it must face the house, not the door, so as to avoid the leakage of money. The god of wealth faces the house because he can make money into the house, but he must be careful not to face the toilet or fish tank to avoid making money into the house, but he often sees wealth.
Eight, the layout of plants
Because the porch is the first impression of family visitors after entering the room, the indoor plants placed play an important role. Large plants with lighting, fashionable trees and blooming orchids are all suitable for the porch. Ordinary flowering plants are more suitable than plants with special shapes under the conditions of poor entrance light, impact by water flow, low temperature at night, narrow walkway or small square or rectangular space. In addition, the porch and the living room can be decorated with the same kind of plants, which can connect the two spaces.
Put plants in the porch, green the indoor environment, increase vitality, make the lucky more auspicious, and the fierce turn evil into good. However, it must be noted that the plants placed in the porch should be mainly evergreen plants with leaves, such as cycads, Nostoc flagelliforme, kudzu vine, banyan and so on. However, plants with thorns, such as cacti, roses and azaleas, should not be placed in the porch, so as not to destroy the geomantic omen there. The porch plants must be kept evergreen. If it is yellow, it should be replaced as soon as possible.
Nine, the choice of accessories
Because the entrance is located in Yao Chong, it has a great impact on housing traffic. Therefore, the decorations here should be carefully placed to avoid inadvertently destroying residential feng shui. The ancients often placed lions and unicorns, powerful and spiritual beasts, at the door as the patron saint of houses. If lions or unicorns are placed outside modern houses, they are often subject to many restrictions. The second best thing is to put it at the entrance facing the gate, which can also play a protective role. Many people like to put various animal-shaped handicrafts on the porch as decorations, but remember not to collide with the zodiac of the householder, so as not to be in danger of getting started.
