We enter our lives, incidents, choices and challenges through a door and out the back. Phrases such as when one door closes, another one opens and so on. It is a physical day to day occurrence and often a psychological and emotional entrance and exit, joyful, dramatic or otherwise. As we approach Chinese New Year on the 25th January, we have a second chance if our Western version hasn’t exactly delivered the new dawn.

 

I am in London this weekend which gave me the opportunity to wander the chalk white terraced streets of Kensington with their lovely doorways beckoning in to other interiors. The high level ceilings that you catch a glimpse of through with sheer curtains. While my normal posts focus on interiors and Feng Shui, this is a ‘moment’ post for new beginnings and the new year.

For Feng Shui readers, main doors are considered the mouth of the house in Feng Shui. They should be clean and uncluttered, much like our life choices but as always, this is easier said than done. Clean the front door, get a new door mat, repaint, revarnish and renew. Ideally choose colours of blue, black, grey and white. Make a statement and take a chance, much the same way as we do in life.
