Shoe rack at the entrance
In many houses, you will see that the shoe rack is kept near the entrance. Cluttering of shoes and slippers at the main door leads to conflict and feuds in the house and thus, the shoe rack should not be kept at the main entrance. Use a closed shoe rack instead of an open one and place a decorative item on top of it if possible.
Swastik sign
Use a Swastik sign at the entrance of the home. You can ither paint it or buy a sticker with the sign. It brings luck and prosperity. Swastik also reduces disease and mourning and increases happiness and prosperity.
Tree or plants
It is believed that positive and negative energy enters the house only from the main door and if there is any kind of obstruction in front of the main door of the house, then according to Vastu it may create a problem. If there is a tree standing in front of your house, then it is an inauspicious sign. Many times we put vines and plants on the main entrance outside the house for the decoration of the house, which is not at all good according to Vastu.
Windows
By constructing a window on the main door, the atmosphere in the house remains good and there is happiness and peace. According to Vastu, while building a house, windows of equal size should be made on both sides of the main door. By making windows on either side of the main door, a magnetic circle is created, due to which positive energy enters the house. Also, the total number of windows in the house should be even and not odd.
Elephant statues
According to Vastu Shastra, the statue of a pair of elephants with their trunk raised should be placed at the main entrance of the house or office. This brings happiness and good fortune to the family and strengthens the relationships. There is a state of harmony among all the members of the family and positive energy is circulated in the house.
Wind chime
Many a time, you must have heard the sweet sound of a wind chime coming from a house near you. Well, putting a metal wind chime with 6 rods on the gate is recommended as per Vastu. The sound of the wind chime removes negativity from home.
