Best Colors for a Feng Shui Door

In the practice of feng shui, the door is an extremely important component to the home. It is responsible for letting energy into the home, so there are many important qualities to be aware of when you purchase or refinish a front door. Aside from the position, there is also the color.

Feng shui uses one of two basic premises to define the feng shui in your home. The first premise defines the house by the direction the door faces, the second looks at the direction the seating faces. The most common method is to use the front door, or to stand outside your home and use a compass to determine the optimal positioning.

Feng shui refers to the front door as “the mouth of Chi,” which directly relates to function of letting energy into the home. Say, for example, that the front door is facing the south. In this scenario, you would want to align the color of your door to the attribute for fire. These elements are either red, pink, yellow, purple, or magenta.

There are also considerations to be made with regards to the rear of the home. You must make sure that the colors there offset those used at the front of the home, so the house can retain the Chi energy let in through the door.

Should you immediately repaint all doors? Probably not. Feng shui does rely on a well-maintained door that is aesthetically pleasing, but this applies mainly to the front door. As long as you keep other doors free from obstruction and well maintained, color will be less of a factor.
