A house is certainly not complete without a door. Elements of the building could not be made haphazardly so that the main function and aesthetic met. The door is one important element in the house. Materials and styles are quite diverse. Only, to the main door and bedroom, you should choose a solid material, such as the wooden door. While sliding doors and doors made of glass can be used as a selection of the second door.

According to the science of Feng Shui, the door would be more impressive solid protection for your home and keep away bad chi at home. When the main door is weak, it also means your house is not safe from uninvited guests and chi could have gone. Jenie Kumala as a Feng Shui expert said some other clues about the main door.

Ideally the main door is made slightly larger. When the main door is smaller than the other door will give the impression that the families who lived there could be harassed and exploited by others.

The third thing about the door is, if there is a second entrance which supports the main door, it was a good Feng Shui. So, it would be better if each dwelling to have it. That will increase your luck at home.

Feng Shui the main door is the most important element that must be made with the right proposition. Since the main door of the main gate is like a living room. Through the main doors, all of the good life to come.

The door is always used as a change of luck, the bad, nor good. You are not enough to just put the elements that bring goodness in front of the main door.

In fact, more important, you should be aware that all things are not too close to the main door. Actually there are some additional design layout of the main door. First, do not let the main door opens into a cramped space.

When the main hall is too small, better not have a porch at all or it could also put a mirror on the wall that is not directly facing the main door.

The most important thing is do not let you open the main door of the corridor are straight. This position is like describing a poisoned arrow that pointed at your back every time you go out and stab your heart when you return.

To get around such a position of the door, we recommend placing the separator such as folding walls or partitions to block the energy-killer.

The curtains are also very useful if your main door was already on a straight-line position with another door. Consecutive three-door configurations that make the energy becomes a hurry that turned into a negative. This can be neutralized by providing separation between the location of the door.

The main door should always be in the open position to the great hall and relieved. It is very fitting when applied in the living room. If the entrance opens into the dining room, the occupants will think only about food. If the position of the door opening into the kitchen, all the family fortune will be swept away.

If this happens, there will be competition and a lot of anger in the house. However, if the door opens into the bedroom, it will make the lazy inhabitants.

One more thing that is very taboo, namely the front door facing the toilet. The location of the door like this would have a negative impact.

If the toilet can be seen from the front door, the toilet door should change its position. In addition to change, it could also provide a solid barrier to separate the toilet from the front door.

If you have problems like this, you should try to change the location of the toilet or the location of the main door. And, if you want to perform spatial planning, you must make sure your front door is not aligned with the position of the toilet.

The correct solution for this problem, you can provide light in the ceiling with a very bright light to encourage the bad chi away from the door. This will help give a positive value at home than not at all.

Under the stairs area during this often utilized as toilet or storeroom. In fact, pretty little park could adorn this area. Like what form?

Park under the stairs could be one alternative that sniper when the house was very limited land. Especially if the toilet and warehouse space you have, the park could be a good choice.

Type the park very much. Start an indoor garden, outdoor, dry, wet, and so forth. Park under the stairs can be categorized as an indoor garden or an outdoor garden as well. Depending on the ladder is positioned where, inside the house, or outside the house building. Most people hesitate to make the park under the stairs. In addition to the narrow and cramped spaces, often less sunlight reached the area under the stairs. As a consequence, so damp and affect the growth of the plant itself. The most common obstacles faced when creating a garden under the stairs is limited sunlight, but it can actually be solved easily, provided you know how.

Actually designing the park under the stairs is not difficult. Staying find out what plants need, then adjust the condition, the owner, that’s the key.

What is meant by the plant needs is light, water, soil, and fertilizer. Likewise with the room temperature. Because if a room under the stairs intersect with areas affected by the AC, then this will affect the moisture received by the plant. Thus, will influence the form of treatment that we should do.

While the state is the condition an owner is how the shape of the room, good light, the habit of treating (intense or not), and position / location of stairs, whether seen from a place that is often used as a means of family or guests who gathered to see the living room.

Now we get into the most important requirement of the park under the stairs, ie sunlight. Of course you also understand how big a role the sun to the plants. For that, try to plant your loved ones get the right supplies in the house though (under the stairs), though.

Enough sunlight or less and who directly or indirectly, must be considered. His name was also something unusual in the outdoors was moved to the indoor, at least he got the atmosphere (plants) must be the same.
If the sun is up in the area under the stairs are not sufficient or not to directly, should quickly be overcome. For example by making holes or jalousie window openings that lead to outdoor.

If it can not direct outdoor access, at least there who can deliver the opening nearest the sun. From this position of the sun access, will determine what crops can be grown in the area under the stairs. Is distinctive dry and wet crops.

If enough sunlight, then you can at will choose the type of dry or wet gardens. However, if on the contrary, only dry garden plants that you can maintain. For example if the park is dry, the plants in pots, if you can use a wet garden plants that shade and not flowering.

If later you choose a dry garden, which could be a reference design is a park with an array of coral. The composition of coral is very suitable to the crops potpotan. In addition to requiring no soil media, the coral will absorb waste water from the pot.

Another trick is to use a water element. If your house is very low humidity, while you want to park in the dry bottom of the stairs, can be tricked by making a small pond.

Magnitude of the pond is highly dependent on the existing space. Do not be too big or too small. Origin proportional course, also the composition with the plant. Do not let the greatness of the pond, the plants just a little, so the park is no longer under the stairs, but the pool under the stairs.

I hope this little information can be used as a reference you to process functions under the stairs area. Once again do not forget, the light of the sun so it is most important for plants in the garden under the stairs in the house.
