Most people will first check the main door direction when viewing a house, wanting to know if this house has a good facing and can bring good fortune to the family living in it. In Feng Shui, the main door is indeed one of the most important parts of the house. From inside the sheltered comfort zone of your home, it is the portal you have to step through to get to the bigger outside world. Home is where you recharge and the outside world is your battlefield. The main door is where the energy flow passes through between these 2 zones, hence can impact the prospects and well being of the family.     

Feng Shui considerations for the main door are not just about the directions alone. The usage of the main door area, size of the door in proportion to the house, colour and element compatibility with the homeowner matter too. Here are a few tips to help you increase your wealth luck.

After a long day at work and returning home, a clean and tidy doorway to welcome you will put a smile on your face as you enter to greet your family. Similarly, as you step out to go to work in the morning, you would not want to see shoes strewn all over at the door or tripping over trash and clutter in your path the first thing in the morning. It's not just about your own mood, your neighbours can be greeting you with a smile or a frown, depending on how you are maintaining the shared environment. Start and end your day well by decluttering and positively contributing to the neighbourhood's cleanliness. 

There is a higher tendency for arguments in the household. Keep the main door area clean and tidy to minimise conflicts among family members. 

Congratulations! This is a good direction that can generate good luck, promote youthfulness and growth, bringing vigour to the family.  

South-East facing door brings social credibility and fortune to home owners. This is a good direction which can give vitality to the family.

Put in full effort into your talents to maximise your chances of success. 

Advisable to keep the door closed most of the time. 

Be extra prudent with finances. Balance expenditure and income well to counter unstable financial luck.

It is extremely difficult to find a house with zero Feng Shui faults. Even if the existing homeowner has renovated the house according to Feng Shui recommendations, those are compatible with his family and not yours. The best practical way to choose the right house is to select the one with Feng Shui issues that can be resolved through renovation design. Of course, the price of the house and cost of renovation have to be within your budget.
