Clear any dead or dried plants from the door and doorway.
Healthy plants on either side of the door provide better feng shui.
If the front door looks straight through the house to the back door, block the view with a large plant or piece of furniture.
Otherwise, the chi may pass straight through.
The front hall should be appealing.
Keep the paint fresh and a fill a vase of fresh flowers near the door whenever possible. Green plants that thrive will add to natural feng shui. Good feng shui also suggests you use a statue near the door, preferably a character who will protect your house such as an angel or Buddha.
