Feng shui suggests homeowners to put up a mirror on the wall opposite the front door. It helps channelling the ‘qi’ or positive energy throughout the house. A long hallway can be easily brightened up using mirrors.

2. Install a sturdy door

This is important from the security point of view as well. Wooden doors are most common and an elegant choice even for the modern houses. You may also opt for metal or fibreglass exterior doors in your house.

Make sure that the garden path that leads up to the main door is maintained well. Clean it regularly and prevent accumulation of negative energy in this space. You may design beautiful garden path with the help of brick, ceramic or terracotta tiles, stones, wood and bamboo.

4. Brighten up the hallway

A gloomy and dark hallway never gives good impression about a house. It makes one feel insecure and doubtful about one’s environment. Don’t make this mistake. Brighten up the hallway with the help of LED lighting fixtures mounted on the walls and ceiling. This will also enhance the security of your home.

5. Introduce greenery

Introduce green plants in this part of the building and increase the charm of the interior atmosphere. You may build a small Zen garden in this space or choose potted plants like peace lily, tilandisa, palm, rubber plant etc to decorate the hall.

6. Make seating arrangements

The design and décor of a house must contribute to people’s comfort and happiness. Your guests will appreciate a small seating arrangement in your hall and so will you after you come back home from a long walk. Keep the décor simple. Opt for items like a couple of chair or a small bench and a console table.

7. Keep the hall neat and clean

Use positive images and wall décor to spice up the interiors. Feng shui does not recommend the use of images that show angry and attacking animals in the corridors. It disturbs the peaceful atmosphere of the interiors. Images must have a positive and calming effect on the minds of those who visit your house.

12. Console table
