Is The Entry To Your Home or Business Welcoming?

• Select a decorative fixture that gives out a lot of light. Do not be afraid to make a statement with the fixture as it will add interest to the room.
• Placing a mirror on one of the walls will expand the space and reflect the light. If the front door faces a wall, the mirror will deflect the feeling of blockage upon entry.
• Staircase: From your note, it seems like the staircase is on one side of the entry. This is a good location for it. If it is directly facing the front door (in a small space) the energy of money flows out. To counteract this negative effect,  place a decorative object between the   door and the last step. Objects can be a small decorative crystal attached to the bottom of the ceiling light, a chime on a wall by the door or any other movable object that suits your fancy.

• Paint is one of the less expensive remedy to a small space: Create drama by painting the walls and ceiling the same color. Pick a a dark hue. The stronger the color the more impact it will have.
• Place a decorative rug on the floor. Use one as large as the floor space will hold.
• Think large scale. Larger artwork/mirror on a wall will expand the feeling of the space.
• A water fountain in an entry can be very auspicious for business and work. Make sure it works!
• Front door: Give it some personality! Paint it a contrasting color or the same color as the walls if you want it to disappear. Paint the door frame to match the door.
• Last but not least: Keep the area clean and organized!
