The Main Entrance: The Gateway Between the Outside World and Your Home

The entrance is often described as the face of a house.

It is the point through which residents, guests, deliveries and daily movement enter.

Traditional Vastu therefore gives the main entrance significant attention.

But a good entrance needs more than an auspicious direction.
