The Feng Shui Front Door Fix
How to attract abundance before you step through the door
What’s the first thing energy sees when it arrives at your front door? A few intentional shifts outside your home can open the path to abundance, opportunity, and positive flow within.
Our front door is where opportunity knocks. Make sure you're ready to open it with energy that welcomes abundance in.
Is Opportunity Passing You By? Start at Your Front Door
Have you ever wondered why life feels like an uphill climb? You might be doing everything right, yet things just don’t seem to flow. In Feng Shui, your front door isn’t just a physical entry — it’s the “mouth of Chi,” the place where energy, opportunities, and abundance enter your life.
A neglected, hidden, or blocked entrance can stop those blessings before they even reach you. But the good news? A few intentional tweaks can shift everything
Walk the Path Like a Stranger
Step outside and approach your home as if for the first time and notice what you notice. Does it have curb appeal? Is your front door visible, clean, and inviting? Are the plants healthy and well maintained? Is the number clear and the pathway clear and well-lit? Is there anything obstructing the path to the door or is the path itself in need of repair?
If not, don’t worry — Feng Shui offers powerful, practical ways to transform your front entrance into a magnet for abundance.
Your Front Door Checklist: Attract Positive Energy Into Your Life
Try these simple upgrades to clear the path for good energy:
🧹 Sweep the porch and path
🚪 Clean the door and oil hinges
🔔 Check the doorbell and replace the bulb if needed
🖌 Repaint or refresh the door if it’s tired or chipped
🪧 Ensure the house name or number is easy to see from the street
🌿 Place two healthy plants on either side of the door to act as pillars of positive energy
🪴 Keep the plants lush — avoid anything dry, dying or spiky by the door, choose soft round leaves
🧼 Remove clutter behind the door
👣 Add a new “Welcome” mat to symbolically invite fresh energy in
Plants are Powerful Chi Enhancers
Two healthy plants flanking your front door do more than beautify your entrance. In Feng Shui they act as pillars of energetic support, threshold guardians and visual symmetry that welcomes harmony. Keep them healthy, fresh and cared for. Avoid thorny, spiky plants that create sha chi (spiky, edgy energy) or artificial plants (dead energy).
Your Entryway Sets the Tone Inside
Once through the door, ensure the welcome continues inside your entrance:
🪑 Have a small area to sit or place bags
🧥 Provide clean, organised storage for coats/shoes/bags
🔑 Use a catch-all tray for keys (to reduce clutter)
🕯 Add a soft scent, mirror, fresh flowers or artwork to uplift the space
🪞Avoid placing a mirror directly opposite the door, place to the side instead
🚫 Avoid piles of shoes or unopened mail — they represent stagnation
Why This Matters
Your front door reflects your voice, visibility and opportunities. When it’s blocked, stuck, squeaking, faded or ignored, your potential may be too. Refresh your entry and you will start noticing something magical! People hear you more clearly, invitations and ideas show up and life feels lighter and more aligned!
PRO TIP: It’s also worth checking all the doors in your home, internal doors, cupboard doors, cabinet doors. These will all have an impact on your voice. Ensure they are all working properly, handles are secured and make any repairs necessary. A loose handle can signal a loose grip on your life and your finances, so tighten those up!
Attitude of Gratitude
Once you’ve reset the energy at your front door, take a moment to thank your home. Your space holds, shelters, and supports you every day — it deserves to be honored.
