If you want to incorporate Feng Shui into the paint colours for your front door then don’t just paint it red because you’ve read some decorating magazine or book that tries to give a nod to Feng Shui.
Feng Shui does attend to colour – it is an important aspect of Chinese Medical and Metaphysical analysis. It is, however, important to know what direction your house faces, and then determine the location of the main door. Not all doors face the street, and some main doors are located to the side, or are angled to a different direction from the frontal plane of the house. For this conversation, we need to put those complexities to one side.
So let’s choose some colours simply based on the bearing of the door (make sure you use a compass to determine the bearing of the door).
There are 8 main bearings for the main door each spanning 45 degrees. They fall into the general directions of the compass: north, north east, east, south east, south, south west, west and north west. There are other nuances to those eight general bearings or orientations but with this simple advice you can make somewhat more informed choices. Each of the directions span 22.5 degrees either side of the absolute orientations. This means that when I refer to North it is referring to the 22.5 degrees to the west, and the 22.5 degrees to the east of due North. A word of warning – this refers to magnetic bearings so do not use Google Maps and other devices to determine the bearing – it must be determined using a compass.

There are many other aspects of Feng Shui and Colour that a trained consultant takes account of, but at least this extremely general advice will not lead you into problems.
