What Does Vastu Say About Entrance Of Your House?

The entrance of the home is the main source from where positive and negative energies enter or the exit the house. Thus, it becomes important to resort to Vastu. As per Vastu, following it could check negative energy at the entrance itself.  MakaaniQ lists a few Vastu tips that will help you create an auspicious entrance. This will bring happiness and prosperity in your life.

Favourable material for the main door

As per Vastu Shastra, a wooden door is considered to be auspicious for the main entrance.

• A door made out of wood and metal works for the south direction.

• A door made of metal works for the west direction.

• A door painted with silver colour works for the north direction.

• A door made of wood and decorated with metal accessories works for the east direction.

The direction play

• North

The north direction represents the element water. Having an entrance door placed on the north side of a home is auspicious. But, do ensure that the door is placed in the northeast section of north wall. Along with this, ensure that a window is placed near the north-east corner.  This will give way to morning sun rays which are necessary for ensuring healthy bones and a strong immune system.  

• South

When home's entrance is positioned in the south direction, then southeast is a favourable direction for the main door. Positioning entrance in the south- west or centre portion of the wall must be avoided. When the entrance is placed in the south direction, then it becomes necessary to have another door in the north direction.
