The entrance hall passes a huge stream of energy through itself, which fills the entire house, which is why the arrangement of this room should be given special attention.

It is very important that the very first room in the house evokes positive emotions among owners, as well as people who come to visit, create an atmosphere of joy and comfort, but at the same time be practical enough for everyday life. From this material you will learn what paintings in the hallway you can hang on, so as not to break any rules.

Depending on which room you are going to place the picture or other piece of art, you should definitely listen to the rules listed below:

1. The most important guideline for you should be the personal emotions that arise inside when you look at this picture. The image should be light and positive, looking at it a person should feel calm, happiness, peace. Indeed, only in this case, the picture will attract positive events in the life of its owner. If, for example, you like the image of a painting, but you feel hostility towards its donor, then it would be more correct to refuse such a decorative element.
2. At the same time, too aggressive subjects are prohibited. You can’t hang pictures in your house that depict various natural disasters with similar unpleasant phenomena, because they will extremely negatively affect the energy of your home. This also includes paintings depicting predatory animals and birds sitting in an aggressive pose.
3. In no case do not hang on the wall a portrait of a deceased person (no matter relative, celebrity, or anyone else). No matter how you relate to this person during life, the picture will fill the housing with the energy of death.
4. Abstract plots cause conflicting emotions: they have neither positive nor negative energy and are completely neutral. But in a number of situations this will be enough to upset the delicate balance. Therefore, Feng Shui does not recommend placing various strange symbols in your home, because even the most beautiful hieroglyph or rune can carry an encrypted negative message that will adversely affect the health and well-being of residents of the house.
5. Canvases depicting collapsing houses, broken dishes and elderly people are also unfavorable. Similar paintings according to Feng Shui are also distinguished by destructive energy.
6. Too voluminous frames with intricate threads will disrupt the free circulation of energy. Right to stay on a light, almost weightless frame for your favorite canvas.
7. Do not put several paintings in one room at once, otherwise their energy will be mixed and it will be more difficult for you to get the expected effect.

Features of the color scheme

Choosing a picture for the hallway, first of all, you need to focus on its color. It is important that the color palette of the picture was pleasant enough for sight and harmoniously fit into the overall color scheme of the room. In the photo below, you can consider a harmonious version of the hallway, in which there is a smooth transition of the color scheme of the picture into the color scheme of the room.

Be sure to discard the gloomy, dirty colors in the paintings. After all, the entrance hall is a room that demonstrates the hospitality of the owners of the house, it is designed to give people who come to the house a good mood and leave only positive emotions.

Suitable Feng Shui Stories

An important moment is the choice of a suitable plot of the picture. It is worth giving up scenes of violence, images of various natural disasters as well as broken objects. Favorable will be the use of still lifes, landscapes, as well as portraits of happy and cheerful people in the decor.

A pretty good alternative is to hang family photos in the hallway.

It is necessary that the picture in its style does not violate the general concept of the hallway. Coquettish versions of paintings that fit perfectly into the entrance area will be very touching.

Different styles of paintings for the hallway

Abstractionism is a rather unusual solution for a hallway, but it will be quite appropriate for a home decorated in a minimalist style. In this case, you can hang pictures made in a modern style without the use of frames or framed in narrow simple, metal or plastic frames.

The ideal solution for a classic hallway is to use the works of Impressionism, romantic paintings, as well as images of the Baroque style and realism. Pictures of these styles must be placed in beautiful wooden or gilded frames.

Obligatory attribute of the English interior will be the image of horses or dogs

At the same time, it must be said that the paintings will be quite appropriate even in an ordinary village hallway. In this case, it is worth stopping at panoramic options placed in wooden frames that depict in detail the structure of wood.

An interesting point. It is not at all necessary that the paintings are independent hanging elements. You may well get furniture decorated with different images or dwell on functional elements: a housekeeper, a watch or a lamp.

Pictures can be hung not only on the walls, but also on the hooks of hangers, and also placed on shelves or tables.

Separately, we need to talk about frescoes. With their help, a significant visual expansion of the space, which creates the perspective of the picture, is possible. This solution is quite attractive, but it is very important to carefully select the plot of the mural. After all, if you want change, it will be much more difficult to do than in the case of paintings.

Proper placement

The easiest option for placing pictures is one picture on one wall. Here the following rule must be observed - the picture in its area should occupy no more than one third of the width and height of the free area.

Empty walls may differ in different indicators and area. If we are talking about a long wall and a narrow corridor, then here it is best to hang the pictures in a horizontal row. Thanks to this, the wall will become visually more diverse and interesting. And due to the shine of the glass, the illusion of a larger space will be created.

If it is necessary to place several paintings of different sizes in the same row, they should be aligned on the central axis. But when embarking on such complex ideas, you must at least have the perfect taste and feel good style.

One cannot but mention modular paintings. They have elements of different sizes and proportions. And thanks to the combination of such a complex decor, a very unusual but rather interesting design is formed. But it’s better to place such variants of paintings only in spacious hallways, because in order to consider everything that is painted on it, you need enough space.

An interesting nuance. Artists use special techniques that allow them to examine their creations at an angle from different points of view. They will be the perfect option for the front room.

As for large houses with a staircase, the paintings are hung in steps along the stairs, as the photo below demonstrates.

Very often you want to fill something with empty sections of the wall above the stands, ottomans or a sofa. Putting a stick or other protruding decorative elements is not very convenient, because they will interfere with the use of the seat. But the option with a flat picture will be just what you need. But in this case, you also need to take into account some nuances:

• you can hang one large picture;
• if you want to place some small pictures, make it horizontal side by side. Pictures can be framed as a frame, so use without it. Family photos will look best in this situation;
• you can also place multiple paintings vertically.

Now you know what an ideal feng shui hall should be like. Use this knowledge to improve your life and to create a stylish and interesting interior in your home. Finally, check out the helpful video on this topic:

Guess today with the Tarot card "Card of the Day"!

For correct fortune-telling: focus on the subconscious and do not think about anything for at least 1-2 minutes.

When you are ready - draw a card:

We form our first impression of an apartment or house by entering the corridor. Our perception of home is largely dependent on color, smell and lighting. You can consider the concept of an ideal environment from the point of view of human psychology, based on their laws of ergonomics. But this time we will look from the position of Eastern teachings.

Feng Shui Hallway Design

This part of the apartment is at the same time the most modest in quadrature and demanded in functional terms. The feng shui hallway dictates the rules that are quite feasible, although at times contradictory. Rarely is it a well-lit part of the home, therefore absolutely all the details of the interior are important, starting with the choice of wall decoration and small things like a rug.

Wallpaper in the Feng Shui corridor

Masters of the eastern teachings of home harmony argue that the first step in creating the right interior is not the choice of color or decoration in general, but the determination of the position of the room relative to the cardinal points. If she was in the northwestern position, we will choose wallpaper for the Feng Shui entrance hall in a metal theme, because this element corresponds to the direction. In such a hallway, walls in silver-gray tones will be appropriate; wallpapers can resemble overflows of light on a metal surface.

Choosing the finish, you will have to take into account the size of the room, and the degree of natural light. Almost always, your corridor will be located in the center of the house, which corresponds to the Earth element. Intuitively, we choose shades of brown and red, which just matches the location. As for the drawing, this part of the house can be decorated with patterns that resemble plants or the theme of nature in general. This is a common topic that is difficult to miss.

Wall mural feng shui in the hallway

Only welcome guests are not always in our house. And the most desirable ones do not always want to show the whole house, because there are so-called intimate zones in it. Eastern doctrine in this matter offers us to create conditions for distracting guests and preventing unnecessary flow of energy. The design of the hallway in Feng Shui is reduced to filling the void on the walls so that they work for the benefit of the owner and do not create an atmosphere of piling.

Three directions work perfectly in this matter:

If a long corridor has one unused wall, such images will prove useful. Our house begins with a hallway, and order and minimalism should reign in it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to create coziness and help energy pass into all other rooms without distortion. But to build a long cabinet with a faceless facade is also not a good idea. And here images with a common positive theme come to the rescue.

Feng Shui Hallway Mirror

It is difficult to do without, and it looks especially harmonious there. Positive energy enters your apartment through the corridor, and the mirror can correctly direct and multiply it, because it multiplies everything reflected. Conversely, if the reflective surface is not located correctly, sooner or later problems in the house will certainly be discovered. The mirror in the Feng Shui corridor has not only its place, but also a number of important characteristic requirements.

In order for everything in harmony in your house, you need to remember the following points:

Paintings in the Feng Shui Corridor

Things with paintings are about the same as with photo wallpapers. Our goal is a nice looking landscape, natural reliefs or animal theme. The picture in the hallway in Feng Shui will hang only in a beautiful, good frame. The color scheme matches the position of the hallway and the corresponding element. If this is Earth, then beautiful landscapes or sunsets in warm red-orange colors will be quite appropriate.

Your feng shui hall should talk about welfare. That is why several correct decorative accents are called basic rules. On the one hand, there should be no disorder and accumulation of things that are used occasionally, all this accumulates energy and does not allow it to circulate freely. But eastern teachings equate bare walls with emptiness, which also should not be.

Mat in the hallway in feng shui

A little near the front door is rarely seen. Meanwhile, it is considered a powerful magnet for positive energy in the house. The Feng Shui corridor, and, will be located in one of the directions of the cardinal points, by them we select the desired color of the rug. Red shades correspond to the south, the rug dictates the blue direction of the rug, the greens correspond to the southeast, all of which you will find in the table of elements. Well, if the rug will keep a little secret: three Chinese coins connected by a red cord.

Clock in the hallway of feng shui

The passage of time cannot be slowed down, and the clock mechanism constantly reminds us of the need for planning and constant movement. The clock in the corridor of Feng Shui is auspicious and necessary thing. For a beneficial effect, remember these features:

Aquarium in the feng shui hallway

Fishes and an aquarium occupy a special position in oriental teaching. The size, location, filling and number of fish can both create a favorable atmosphere in the house and completely ruin it. Fishes in the hallway in Feng Shui will be a useful decoration of the interior, because they not only multiply cash flows. According to the teaching, when dying, an aquarium fish takes bad luck with it from home. and the number of fish in it, the size of the glass box - all this should be comparable with the size of the room.

Therefore, there must be fish in our homes, but we will choose the right place for them:

Feng Shui Hallway Color

The choice of the design of the room is based on its location relative to the side of the world, even the color of the walls in the hallway in Feng Shui will be determined according to the elements. The most important thing is to correctly determine the direction of the front door. If this is a northern location, the tree element corresponds to it. Next, we turn to the table: its color scheme is green, water enhances the tree and its color scheme is blue and black.

It is difficult to create harmony on several square, and even walk-through meters. However, by making efforts, you will be able to attract cash flows and luck to the house, create conditions for the circulation of positive energy in the entire monastery. Eastern teaching will help to avoid mistakes when choosing the color of the walls and arranging the entire content.

Of course, there are houses and apartments in which you, entering from the street, immediately get into the living room. However, most modern apartments and private houses have an entrance hall, albeit a small one. If your hallway is modest in size, it is especially important not to clutter it with unnecessary things and furniture. Any hallway should be well lit and kept clean, otherwise the qi energy will stagnate, creating a feeling of apathy and fatigue.

Not very good if the front door leads to a small entrance hall, where there is a staircase that goes up. In such cases, it is necessary to slow down the movement of qi, which can be done by hanging a musical pendant or bells. In this situation, it is impossible to use a mirror, but a decorative plant installed obliquely from the entrance helps to improve the interior. If the staircase is located on the side of the entrance, then the ideal solution would be a partition or a movable screen that forms a barrier that will prevent the exit of qi. A mirror hung on the side of the door gives a reflection of the hallway and visually increases its size.

Since the entrance hall is not the center of family activity, here you need to maintain a neutral yin / yang balance in both decoration and lighting. If the hallway is very light and angular, soften this effect with pastel tones and curtains or reduce the brightness of the light. If the hallway is too dark, use more saturated colors, enhance the lighting and hang paintings or photographs on the walls in rectangular and oval frames. To attract beneficial chi, you can use door mats. Choose a color that matches the direction of the front door: red for the south, brown for the southwest, and so on. You can also use an additional element - for example, green in the south and red in the southwest. Some Feng Shui practitioners advise for good fortune to put three gold coins under the mat. Take Chinese coins with a hole in the middle, string them on a red string and hang them. Another tip to attract good luck to the house is to brightly illuminate the area located in front of the front door and directly behind it.

Some problems and suggested solutions

If from the threshold of the front door you can see the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom

In the hallway and corridors the forces of Yin and Yang must be in balance. This can be achieved by choosing moderate tones for wallpaper, upholstery or wall painting. If the rooms are too light or too dark, the tones should be changed.

It must be remembered that harmony is achieved by the presence in the premises of all five elements (Water, Earth, Metal, Wood, Fire). For example, if you chose bluish wallpaper for the walls of the hallway, the element of Water is already presented in it. Yellow linoleum or brown floor tiles will introduce the element of Earth into the room, the white ceiling - the element of Metal. To add the Tree element, you can put an artificial plant or a chair with green upholstery in the hallway, or you can abandon all this and just hang a wooden hanger in it. There are many combinations to create balance. To create it, it takes only your desire and a little imagination.

But each room has its own dominant colors. In the hallway it is the color of the wallpaper and floor (linoleum, parquet, carpet or carpet), as well as the color of the furniture, if the furniture is selected in the same style. Each direction corresponds to its own element, and each element according to the principle of five elements has favorable, neutral and unfavorable colors for it. Since your hallway is located in a certain area of \u200b\u200bthe house adjacent to one of the directions, you should choose colors that are favorable for its main colors for its main colors.

How to do it?  First, identify the element of your hallway. To do this, find out in which area of \u200b\u200bthe house it is located, and then refer to the table and find its element. For example, your hallway is located in the northwestern part of the house. According to Feng Shui, the northwest is a direction associated with the Metal element.

Then determine the colors that are favorable for the entryway element. The colors of the Metal element, that is, the element to which the hallway located in the northwestern part of the house belongs, are white, gray, silver and all the colors of metals.

	Wood	the fire	Earth	Metal	Water
Direction	east (Big Tree), southeast (Small Tree)	south	southwest (Big Earth), northeast (Small Earth), center	west (Big Metal), Northwest (Small Metal)	north
Color	green	red, burgundy, purple, pink	yellow, orange, brown	white, gray, gold, silver, copper	blue black
Shape, architectural details	rectangle, vertical shape, cylindrical columns	triangle, pyramid, triangular ornaments	square, all low and flat	circle, oval, ball	wavy and horizontal shapes
Material	wood, cork, bamboo, willow, rattan, cotton, linen, paper, plywood, particleboard	plastic, rubber, brocade, lurex fabrics, leather and leatherette, wool, down, feathers	clay, ceramics, brick, stone, terracotta, porcelain, cement	steel, silver, gold, copper	glass, water
Furniture	wooden and wicker, high and rectangular	soft on synthetic winterizer and foam rubber, plastic, leather and leatherette	low square	steel shelves and beds	water beds
Works of art	oil paintings, landscapes, wooden sculptures, straws, driftwood, decorative boards and caskets, reed mats, plants, bamboo flutes, etc.	paintings depicting people and animals, down products, peacock feathers, electric lamps, candles	porcelain and clay figurines, decorative dishes, gzhel, ceramic and clay jugs, paintings depicting deserts and steppes, crystals, ceramic bells	metal (gold, silver, copper) and steel figurines, weapons, watches, coins, photographs, candlesticks, castings, metal bells, “wind music”	paintings depicting waterfalls, rivers, seas and lakes, fish, video and audio equipment, fountains, aquariums, mirrors
Character	growth, creativity	action intelligence	stability, hardness, reliability	abundance, wealth, financial success	wisdom, knowledge

It is known that elements on the principle of five elements generate and destroy each other.

The Earth element in the generation cycle precedes the Metal element (Earth generates Metal), therefore the colors of the Earth element are also favorable for the northwest hallway. It is orange, brown and yellow. But the colors associated with the Fire element, that is, red, burgundy, purple, pink and other derivatives of red, in this hallway should be as few as possible (in the destruction cycle, Fire destroys the Metal).

Using the same scheme, you yourself can determine which primary colors to choose for your hallway. This is the color of the room element and the color of the element preceding its element in the generation cycle.

Corridors are usually in the houses and apartments located in the center, so they belong to the Earth element. Yellow, orange and brown (colors of the Earth element), as well as red (color of the Fire element that generates the Earth element) and all its derivatives are the predominant colors of the interior of the corridors.

Greetings, dear readers!

What should the zone look like when we find ourselves in a residential building or in an apartment ?! If you want your home and business to flourish, let's think about how to harmoniously equip and furnish a feng shui entrance hall: its appearance and decor. And also what you should pay special attention to.

In Chinese practice, this room was given no less importance than the rest of the rooms, since the Chi energy and the space of this zone are connected by an inextricable thread.

Color and decor in the hallway by feng shui

Functional zones in Feng Shui directly depend on their purpose, and therefore it is necessary to equip them in accordance with these requirements. So, the entrance hall is the place from where the Qi flow later spreads over all residential premises, and therefore it is important here not only to provide the energy flow with full access, but also to be able to keep it and even accumulate it.

In this, decor and interior decoration help a lot. Qi, as you know, loves light colors, plenty of sunlight and clean, well-groomed rooms. That is why the first thing to do is update the appearance of your hallway and change the color of the walls if the room is too dark and plain. Alas, not all apartments in the corridor have a window, and therefore it does not hurt to take care of adequate lighting. It is best to hang in the hallway sources of soft, warm diffused light, which would be as reminiscent of natural as possible.

It is better to choose colors light and neutral - milk, sand, light beige, you can use light pink or gray, if this does not make the apartment more gloomy. The very view of your corridor should be conducive to a home environment, create a feeling of comfort and home warmth.

If your hallway does not shine with parameters and residential meters, then you will also have to put things in order and take out everything unnecessary - furniture, decor. It is best to leave inside only that which you and your family constantly use and without which you cannot do, and the rest mercilessly surrender or sell. The more clean and free space in the hallway, the better. In this case, Qi will evenly accumulate in it and spread to the rest of the living quarters.

Also, the entrance hall needs constant wet cleaning - dust, dirt and stains on the mirrors are the main source of energy pollution as well, since the negative Sha force is most accumulated in untidy, clogged rooms. To avoid this, promptly wipe the floors and shelves, facades of furniture in the hallway.

If Feng Shui at the front door is broken, then further attempts to create a harmonious energy atmosphere in the house will be in vain. It is through the main entrance into the apartment of a person that a large part of Qi gets into, since this force is somewhat subject to the laws of physics. It easily flows on a flat surface, penetrates doors and windows, but can hardly bypass an obstacle in the form of a bulky wardrobe or a narrow ornate passage.

The more spacious and lighter you make your entrance, the easier it will be for the Qi stream to overcome this room, reaching the farthest corners of your home. Because if at least one room is in energy isolation, then the whole general background of the house begins to suffer. It is important to balance and a uniform energy field in every corner of the apartment.

Decor is another opportunity to make a home more comfortable for human eyes, and more attractive for Chi flow. This energy can be compared with a capricious guest: he is unlikely to want to go into an ugly and dark abode, but yes, in a light and well-groomed one.

Beautiful pictures with the image of nature, colorful landscapes or symbols of the hearth are well suited for the corridor. You can add floor elements - beautiful vases, fresh flowers in pots. But remember the rule of the golden mean - too many statuettes and paintings within the framework - this is already bad, because the hallway should be the most neutral zone in the home. Remember the comparison above with the moody guest? The abundance of jewelry can hold Qi in this room for a long time, because of which its flow to the far rooms of the apartment will be instantly disrupted.

A good hallway can be considered one that does not cause any emotions, except for comfort or warmth. Nothing should be striking here or eye-catching. And in no case do not use this room in order to store unnecessary things or dirty shoes. If you and your family are taking off your shoes in the corridor, then buy a special small and ergonomic shoe chest where it can be comfortably and discreetly kept.

Hallway room shape

The movement of Chi energy can be compared with a dense fog that is invisible to our eye. He actively moves through large rooms, not meeting obstacles in his path, but can freeze in a difficult place, beginning to disperse. To prevent this, it is necessary to adjust the shape of the hallway. It is best when the corridor is square or rectangular. Also, the room should not have more than four corners - this is an unwritten standard that many people like to adhere to.

But not everyone knows that even a poorly placed cabinet can inadvertently create the very fifth corner. For Qi, there is no potential meaning, a brick wall in front of it or a dresser door. That is why you need to carefully place furniture in the hallway, and even better - to build a storage system in the entire wall to avoid such phenomena. Moreover, ideally, the length of such furniture should be from the floor to the ceiling, without gaps and empty holes. Otherwise, if a dark niche remains above the cupboard, that same negative Sha force will actively accumulate there.

If the corridor has an irregular shape, too narrow or small, then this can be corrected with the help of visual tricks. For example, light walls always visually make a room a little bigger, like mirrors. And therefore, in front of a sharp angle, where it’s hard for a person to squeeze in, not to mention the energy field, it’s worth putting a larger mirror. Visually, this will expand the hallway, and due to the reflecting power, Chi will more actively “peer” around the corner, spreading unhindered through the rest of the rooms.

In some cases, when there is no way to cope with an unsuccessful layout, it makes sense to think about a small reconstruction in the house, in order to improve not only the appearance of the hallway, but also its energy field due to the demolition of some walls.

Mirrors and front door of feng shui

What hallway does without a mirror? If it is also in your home, then make sure that it reflects you whole, from the heels to the top of the head. Traditionally, according to this ancient practice, the largest mirror is hung on the wall (or put on the floor) here. There is another hidden meaning in this - a large area reflects more of the energy field, because it is easier to fly around the rest of the house.

Naturally, a mirror cannot be weighed in such a way that the front door is reflected in it. Remember the laws of Qi - it follows the mirror where it points to the glass surface. That is why in such situations the apartment will always be in decline. The flow of Qi, barely breaking the threshold, will instantly be reflected from the mirror and go back. Therefore, follow with particular attention to what and in what direction your mirrors in the corridor reflect.

The front door is the biggest gate for Qi, through which it is constantly poured inside the house. And it will be important not only how it is located and in which part of the front door it goes, but even its level above the floor.

For example, it is considered very undesirable if the door of the apartment “looks” directly at the flight of stairs and the steps or doors of the elevator. Also, the tenants whose entrance door is opposite the neighbor's door were not very lucky. In this case, negative energy can flow unhindered from one house to another, causing a lot of trouble and adversity for both families.

If the door is elevated or there is a step under it, it will be more difficult for Qi to enter it. Although it is believed that the negative power of Sha perceives this barrier as a significant obstacle in its path, and for white Qi it will be the same stopper. If you need to protect your family from negative forces, just place the amulet in the right place. For example, special Chinese coins work perfectly, having a square cavity inside - they are traditionally placed under the entrance door mat to attract good events and abundance, repelling failure and bad luck.

And one more remark that cannot be ignored: life will not be very successful in the room, the door of which is located directly opposite the front door. In this case, the circulation of flows can be disturbed, because of which life difficulties often arise.

Also, the door of the matrimonial bedroom is best taken as far as possible from the entrance, so that no stranger can see it from this place. The Chinese believe that in this way you can save love and rid the marriage of troubles and hardships.

As you can see, Qi energy and the entrance hall are interconnected things, and if you seriously decide to tackle this issue and furnish your home according to the ancient foundations of the Chinese people, then the first thing you need to start is from the corridor.
