The entry invites positive energy into the home, so having it set up accordingly is important.

In fact, these tips are so simple, you can implement them while still keeping the personality of your space in tack. After all, it’s your home and should feel like you!

Slow Down the Qi

Your entrance is an important gateway for qi flow. Left unarranged, an excess of qi (energy) can escape your home. It’s important to create a vestibule or “landing pad” for when you enter your space. This allows the qi to better circulate your home and not “run out” the door.

Area rugs contain yin energy and help to soften and slow down the movement of qi. This is especially useful in entrances that form long hallways that contain a lot of fast moving qi. Get an area rug that offers more grounding energy such as one with darker colors or soften patterns.
