The Elements of the west are Metal and Earth. The colors that correspond to these Elements are white, gray and yellow which are not the best colors for the front door. I would use the color that you love and that goes well with the rest of the exterior and add Metal or Earth in accessories around the front door or in the west part of the Bagua.
Looked this up for the home I am buying (first time) with a white door currently. Yellow and green were in my front runners and it just so happens that the home is facing SW! Going to pull some paint swatches.
Yellow is better for the SW than green. Green color is Wood Element and Wood is not a harmonious color for the SW where we want to strengthen Earth Element :)
The Only Color you stated for the East is Dark Green., Is this correct ? If you have a Wood Dooe with glass - is it appropriate to place a Dark Green Rug or Green Plants on the side of the front door? Does the New Lunar Year Wood Dragon affect what color for a EAST FACING FRONT DOOR ? Thank you.
In addition to dark green I also mentioned blue color for the east door. If you have a wood door, it is the Wood Element which is the Element of the East. But if you want to add green plants and green rug you can do so. For the annual energy adjustments you don't change the color of the door, but add appropriate items to strengthen the positive energy and diminish negative influence. You can find this information is my 2024 Flying Star video.
I'm so glad I found you and your knowledge about Feng Shui. I started working with the Flying Stars 3 years ago and I try to understand how to influence the flow of energy without having to buy too much exceptional objects. We have an all over frosted glass front door in the east with a brown metal frame. So I jumped out in the dark after I watched your video, cleaned the two stairs and placed two corniferes - one at each side of the door.. Let the energy flow💫 Now I'm looking for a new place for the sandstone flame which had to be moved aside. Maybe it needs a place in the south. Thank you for sharing your knowledge🐉
😓I rent and am desperate to find a better place to live.. preferably to buy.. 😓The front door is white and ugly, and facing east. I like red doors, but it really depends on the color and style of house what color I would choose for a home. Black, dark blue, red or dark green are my favourites
How do the colours and compass directions work in the Southern Hemisphere? Is it the same as the Northern Hemisphere or are they all reversed (e.g. red= south becoming red= north in the Southern Hemisphere)?
My front door faces east. What color should I use for prosperity, joy, and health? The color that would make me happy to come home to would be bright yellow
Hmmm, it looks like you have to choose between what you like and what Feng Shui suggests. That's a tough choice. I would probably choose the color that would make you happy and goes well with the exterior. You can support prosperity and health aspects (Wood and Water Elements) by adding green plants around your front door and dark blue door mat.
Hiya, I have a house that has a front door facing Southeast. Everywhere I read says it’s the wood element and that I should avoid red and use green or brown for example. But you mentioned it can be painted with red, as that is the colour I’d prefer. Why is that?
Good question. I know it is a bit contradictive but here is the reasoning behind it. . The Elements of SE are Wood and Water. So greens and blues are good choices. But in traditional Chinese Feng Shui purple is the color of prosperity. It energizes and uplifts energy better than green or blue. Purple is Fire. Red is close to purple. It sticks out. This is why it can be used in the SE as well. There are many shades in between purple and red. Use the shade that you love the most. As for brown, it is not a good choice in the SE.
In the video I mentioned the appropriate colors for the SW doors are red, pink, orange or yellow. You can choose one among these colors, whichever one goes best with your house's siding color and most importantly which one you like.
I would use the Bagua for the Southern hemisphere where north relates to the Fire Element and Fame and northeast relates to the Wood Element and Wealth, etc.
So...since I replaced my garage door with a mahogany colored door which goes well with the roof, my front door look awful. The siding is medium light gray. The door us set in 10 feet. I have painted the door to look like drift wood. Nit everyone's taste. It was drab looking. So put royal blue rug with a runner leading to the door. There are chairs with cozy afghans and a blue chest with a blue and white lamp which is on all the time. Plus a basket with orange pillows. And a couple plants. It turned out to be fun and inviting. Would that work for an east facing door?
