What are the Chinese interior design principles that will brighten up any room? The teachings of Feng Shui are deliberately designed to transform your home and at the same time increase your well-being. Today we will help you improve your well-being by decorating your hallway according to the rules of Feng Shui. This area in your home serves as the primary entrance to your home and should therefore be designed with particular care—we will tell you how to do it!
1. Order and cleanliness
First of all, you should make sure that your entire hallway is tidy and clean; this is the best basis for a great ambience. Because not only you but also your guests will notice when dirty shoes, dust and clutter create a dingy overall appearance.
Just think of your hallway like a job interview: you want to make a good impression in front of the potential new boss and the same goes for the hallway. You will make a good impression here if the overall picture is right, if not, then your guests will remember it negatively.

2. Choose homely accessories
You should also take the time to select homely accessories and arrange them in your hallway. You should make sure that you follow a common theme in the design. Your hallway follows a certain style and the accessories should be selected accordingly. These can be vases, statues like in the picture above, photos or functional elements such as small chests or cabinets.
When it comes to the rules of Feng Shui, you must take the time to select the right elements and arrange them in a balanced way – this is the only way to ensure that your mental and physical well-being is increased through your furnishings.
3. Direct your gaze into the other rooms
The hallway is of course only the first step in getting to know your home, the next step is in the other rooms. Therefore, in the hallway, you should make sure that you consciously direct your guests' gaze into the adjoining rooms, such as the living room. This can be achieved by cleverly integrating mirrors, lighting or a carpet. Just think about how you would personally most likely go directly into the adjoining room.
4. Create functional storage space
In every home, the hallway is of course used to store things. These are mainly shoes, jackets and other accessories that you take off immediately after entering the house. Therefore, you should try to find a functional, spacious piece of furniture for the hallway in which you can store all of your important things. This will of course also help to ensure that the place is always tidy and clean.
5. Choose bright colours
When designing your hallway, you should also make sure that you choose light colours. This applies not only to the wall colour but also to the furniture and accessories. Beige or pastel tones are particularly modern and create a pleasant atmosphere in the hallway.
6. Allow peace
Finally, you should always listen to your inner voice when designing and arranging this room the way you like it best. Of course, you can get ideas from our magazine and implement them in your home. But stay flexible and think about your rooms. If you have a feel for the style and follow the common thread when furnishing, then nothing will stand in the way of your well-being according to the teachings of Feng Shui!
