When assessing home feng shui, the main door holds significant importance, impacting the residents' lives and careers. However, this doesn't imply neglecting other aspects, especially secondary doors within the house. This article aims to provide insights into designing and choosing door sizes according to Feng Shui standards.
1. Considerations for Window Construction
While the main door attracts positive energy and vitality into the house, windows serve similar functions. Though less crucial than the main entrance, windows play a significant role.
For example, a house with only a main door and no windows hinders airflow, trapping negative energies inside. Even just one window can mitigate these issues, highlighting the importance of windows in maintaining balance and harmony within the household.
Here are some considerations when constructing windows:
-Avoid making oversized windows as it can be challenging to maintain indoor air quality. However, if you prefer larger windows, consider using curtains or adding blinds to reduce the size.
-If you have a small room, think twice before choosing large windows as they may face weather-related challenges.
-Opting for larger or opening windows in the South and Southeast directions can help bring in pleasant sunlight and cool breezes. Conversely, avoid enlarging windows facing West and Northwest to prevent harsh sunlight and cold winds from entering.
-For living rooms and children's rooms, consider installing small windows or opting for smaller window openings.
-In the kitchen, lower the height of kitchen windows slightly to facilitate easy airflow out of the room.
-For workspaces, opt for moderately sized windows to create a tranquil atmosphere in the room.
2. Key Considerations for Other Doors:
-For houses with courtyards, avoid aligning the main gate and front door in a straight line, ensure that the back door is smaller than the front door, doors should not obstruct each other, kitchen doors should not directly face the stove, and restroom doors should not open directly into the kitchen.
-For office-style homes, refrain from having too many entry doors in narrow corridors.
-Avoid placing gates directly facing alleys or choosing houses with entry doors at the end of narrow corridors, as negative energy flows can easily enter, bringing unfortunate events that affect the health and work of the occupants.
-Do not install three or more consecutive doors in a straight line or along a corridor. The ratio of windows to the main door inside the house should be less than 3:1 for a happy home, preventing conflicts between parents and children.
