Home is an important part of everyone's life, carrying emotions, memories and dreams. No matter how big or small our home is, it is our sanctuary and the stage for our warm life.
However, in the process of creating the ideal home, there is some ancient wisdom that reminds us to avoid seeing certain items when we open the door.
This is not nonsense or superstition, but rather lessons from the ancients that can lead us to create a more livable home environment.
01 Don't face valuables when you open the door
Home is the harbor in everyone's life, no matter how big or small, it carries our emotions, memories and lives.
In order to make the home a warm and comfortable place, people pay attention to various details when arranging their homes, including furniture placement, decoration selection, etc.
However, some of the wisdom left behind by the ancients reminds us that some of the arrangements in the home may affect the harmony and tranquility of the family.
One of them is "open the door and don't face valuables". Valuables, such as jewelry, precious art, antiques, etc., are often family assets that people can be proud of.
As a result, some people tend to place these valuables prominently in their homes to showcase their wealth and taste. However, this practice may cause some unnecessary troubles and even safety risks.
On a quiet afternoon, family members Xiao Li and Xiao Wang were chatting in the living room, discussing the topic of home decoration.
Xiao Li: You know, I've been wondering lately, is there a problem with the decoration at home?
Xiao Wang: What's wrong?
Xiao Li: I found that all the valuables in our house were placed in the living room, and I could see them as soon as I entered the door, which felt a little inappropriate.
Xiao Wang: Oh, I see. Are you worried about security?
Xiao Li: Yes, not only that, but I've also heard that seeing valuables at the door can affect the family's fortune and harmony.
Xiao Wang: Really? This sounds a bit like superstition.
Xiao Li: Actually, there are some lessons behind this. Some people may be attracted to these valuables and develop greed. Moreover, once the family's wealth is exposed to the outside world, the security risks will also increase.
Xiao Wang: Well, you have a point. We should perhaps rethink the layout of our home décor and keep our valuables in a relatively safe place.
Xiao Li's concerns are not unfounded. Seeing valuables is easy to arouse jealousy and covetousness from others, and can even become potential targets for theft.
The lessons of the ancients also remind us to think carefully when decorating our homes. So, how can you better avoid seeing valuables when you open the door?
First of all, we can put valuables in a place where they are not easily visible to outsiders, such as a bedroom or a private study. Second, there are security measures that can be taken, such as installing a security system or safe, to protect valuables in your home.
Most importantly, be cautious and don't flaunt your wealth to the outside world, which can reduce unnecessary risks.
In conclusion, the age-old wisdom of opening the door and not facing valuables reminds us to be cautious and safety-conscious in our home furnishings.
Through reasonable layout and safety measures, we can create a more harmonious and safe family environment, making the home a real warm haven.
02 Open the door and don't face the bed
Home is one of the most important beings in a person's life, therefore, how to arrange the home has become the focus of attention of many people.
However, there is one detail that may seem less important but has a profound impact in home furnishings, and that is "open the door to the bed".
In an average home, the bed is usually one of the most conspicuous pieces of furniture in the bedroom. People rest and sleep in beds, so the position and placement of beds have an important impact on the rest and quality of life of family members.
However, ancient Feng Shui wisdom tells us that the bed should not be placed in a position where it can be seen directly, especially not so that the bed should be directly opposite the door of the home.
On a quiet night, family members Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu sat in the living room talking about home improvement.
Xiao Zhang: Recently, I've been thinking about whether our beds are in the right place in the bedroom.
Xiao Liu: What's the problem? The bed should be in the bedroom.
Xiao Zhang: Yes, but I've heard that the bed should not be directly facing the door of the room, especially the door.
Xiao Liu: Why is that? I think the position of the bed is very good, you can see it when you enter the door, which is very convenient.
Xiao Zhang: It is said that the bed is directly opposite the door, which will make people feel uneasy at night, and they will be easily disturbed by external negative energy, which will affect the quality of sleep.
Xiao Liu: Oh, I see. However, this sounds a bit like superstition, is there any scientific basis for it?
Xiao Zhang: Maybe it's true that there is no scientific basis, but some people believe this and believe that the bed should not be directly facing the door in order to maintain harmony and peace in the family.
Xiao Liu: So what should we do?
Xiao Zhang: Maybe consider adjusting the position of the bed a little bit so that it doesn't have to face the door, so that you don't have to worry about it.
This conversation reflects some doubts and uncertainties about where the bed should be placed.
While there is no scientific basis for whether the bed facing the door can bring negative energy, ancient Feng Shui wisdom and the lessons of some people still influence people's home choices.
For the appropriate placement of the bed, you can try to avoid placing the bed directly opposite the door, and you can use some partitions or decorations to block the view.
Beds should be arranged with ventilation and light in mind, while also ensuring that the beds are positioned in such a way as to maintain privacy for family members. Most importantly, the needs and comfort of family members should be the first consideration when placing the bed.
03 Open the door and do not open the toilet
When we talk about home feng shui, a common but easily overlooked issue is "open the door to the toilet".
While this statement may sound supernatural and even a bit absurd, it reflects a belief in ancient feng shui wisdom that facing the toilet at the door brings bad feng shui.
At the end of the day, a couple sits in the living room, ready to discuss home renovations.
Lina: Dear, we've been talking a lot lately about how to decorate your new home, but I've heard that you don't open the door to the toilet, is that true?
JOHN: yes, it's an old Feng Shui concept. The ancients believed that facing the toilet at the door would bring bad luck and bad luck.
Lina: That sounds a bit supernatural and unbelievable. Is there any scientific basis to support this claim?
John: It is said that facing the toilet at the door can lead to bad financial luck in the family, and it can even lead to financial problems. But I also agree that it sounds a bit superstitious and there is no clear evidence in science.
Lina: So what should we do? Our new home has a limited layout and is not easy to change.
John: In fact, some families put a partition between the doorway and the toilet, such as a screen or curtain, to mitigate the impact of this situation.
In addition, you can solve this problem by some decorations and decorations, such as placing some greenery or artwork at the door.
Lina: That sounds like there are some viable ways to deal with this. I think we can try some decorative ways to improve the situation.
Although the saying that the door is not open to the toilet sounds a bit mysterious, it reflects people's attention and experimentation with home feng shui.
In modern home improvement, there are some practical measures we can take to solve this problem without worrying too much about the effects of Feng Shui.
04 When you open the door, don't see any clutter
Another important note when it comes to home furnishings and feng shui is to "open the door and don't see clutter." This principle emphasizes the impact of cleanliness and order in the home on the quality of life and mood of the occupants.
On a summer evening, Lisa and Mike sit in the living room, sipping a cup of tea.
Lisa: Mike, we've finally moved into our new home, but I think the house always feels a bit messy, especially near the doorway, where there's always clutter.
MIKE: yes, I feel the same way. I have heard that opening the door and not seeing clutter is very important for home feng shui, it affects our mood and quality of life.
Lisa: However, sometimes we get home in a hurry and don't have time to get everything in order, so the doorway gets cluttered.
Mike: I understand, but there are ways we can try to fix this. First of all, we can buy some furniture that is suitable for storage, such as shoe cabinets and coat racks, so that shoes and coats can be neatly organized.
Lisa: yes, that's a good idea. We can also clean the doorway area regularly and keep the doorway tidy by putting unwanted items in the storage room or elsewhere.
Mike: In addition, we can put some greenery or decorative paintings at the doorway to enhance the beauty of the doorway area and make it look neater and more organized.
Lisa: That sounds good. I feel that the feeling of being neat and orderly at the door will make us feel relaxed and happy when we go home every day.

Therefore, when arranging the home, we can maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the doorway area through reasonable storage and organization, as well as some decorative elements.
