How many of you have heard that you should paint your front door red? This is a common assumption with many of us. I recently did some research in "Feng Shui and Your Front Door". My research revealed that red is not always the best choice for your front door color when it comes to feng shui and positive energy entering your home.
For those of you who are not familiar with the feng shui, it is the Chinese art of creating harmonious surroundings that enhance the
balance and energy in your life.
I have always been interested in the way a room makes me feel. I get very nervous in rooms that aren't put together well.
What I found about front doors, is that the color should correlate with the direction the door is facing. Here is a list of recommended colors
based on door direction:
North facing door:
Feng Shui door color: blue, black, white Material: wooden
North East facing door:
Feng Shui door color: orange, purple, yellow, terra cotta
East facing door:
Feng Shui door color: green, blue, turquoise Material: wooden
South East facing door:
Feng Shui door color: green, turquoise, blue Material: wooden
South facing door:
Feng Shui door color: red, pink, purple Material: wooden
South West facing door:
Feng Shui door color: pink, peach, apricot, orange, yellow
West facing door:
Feng Shui door color: yellow, white, gold, magenta, silver
North West facing door:
Feng Shui door color: magenta, gold, silver, white, yellow
My front door faces west! It is a rust color which accents my brown and tan house. I guess it's off to the paint store for me!
