According to Feng Shui What Color Could My Front Door Be?

The answer to this question is subjective because some Feng Shui consultants may say locate the direction your front door faces, while others will say keep it simple. Either way, whatever Feng Shui method you choose, make sure you are personally comfortable with and become observant and aware of the shifts in energy after making the changes. 

Typically, the accent color on or around your outside front door is suggested to be red. Why red? Red in Feng Shui is the color of honor and protection. So you are highlighting your front entrance while protecting the energy at the same time. For those who wish, you could paint the front door red or implement accent colors around the outside front door. 

Or if you prefer, you could locate the front door's actual direction using a compass. Once you know the direction, it's optional to paint the entire front door the associated color to that direction or implement accent colors near the outside front door. 

Quick Direction Color List: 

• Red: South
• White/Grey: West
• Black/Blue: North
• Green: East

Address Internal Corners of Your Apartment so the Energy Does Not Become Stuck

A really easy to do Feng Shui change is making sure the corners inside your apartment are not empty. Why is that important? Any time you see corners that have nothing in them in, it's believed the energy flowing into that area becomes 'stuck.' To help give you a visual, think of water flowing down a gentle stream and then becoming entrapped in a whirlpool movement alongside the bank of the stream.  

To help avoid that scenario, adding a plant or a collection of smaller plants (2-3) in the empty corner of your apartment can help the chi' (energy) to keep moving. Of course you could use other objects on the floor (like a standing lamp), along the walls (artwork or shelving) or even something that may hang from the corner's ceiling. Understand the function of the room and combine that observation with the Ba-gua Map life section and you can better select what is appropriate for that corner.
