Suppose you really want to make a difference in the overall feng shui layout across your home, business establishment, or career dwellings. In that case, the front door design and color should be the first thing in your home improvement list.
Think of your whole establishment as a living organism with each interior and exterior section as its body parts. If you are already versed with the basics of Feng Shui, you would know that the front door is also known as the mouth of “qi” or “chi.” This is because the entrance is the main space where the house or office takes in the feng shui nourishment from the exterior surroundings of your establishment.
Base on Bagua layout
You can either buy the whole front door according to your Bagua layout, with the appropriate colors, designs, shapes, and materials. If you already have a front door, you could change the color of the door according to the direction it’s facing and let the “Chi” flow in.

We all know that for each feng shui direction, there is a corresponding element in the form of colors, designs, patterns, shapes, etc. Choosing the right color is an important component to strengthen the feng shui energy and absorb large amounts of positive “chi” for your home or office.
