One should not keep shoe rack in the house

[sun888_99]

Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that one should not keep a shoe rack in the home since it is considered bad. Is it true. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
Some Feng Shui practitioners advice one not to place a shoe rack immediately outside the main entrance.
It is not difficult to guess the reason for it. As the main entrance is an important part of the house, the `worry' of some practitioners is that Qi from the `inauspicious' shoe rack is sweep into the home.
The rationale is that the area around the main entrance should be `clear' space and clean.
Where possible, try not to place the shoe rack at the main entrance. Usually, there is a tendency to keep unused shoes in there for some time.
It is not a `must' but it is good not to have the shoe rack outside the main entrance. Usually, if one has a back door, it is ok to place the shoe rack there.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil
Can I had my enclosed shoe rack in my living room? On top of the rack , I put a vase of roses and a lot of photo frame, can I do that? I cannot remove the rack as it is a built-in rack, is there any way to solve this if the shoe rack is not good to be in the living room?

Thanks

Dear Anon,
Since you have the inbuilt shoe rack, it should not be a major concern i.e. it is of secondary importance.
Where possible, keep the shoe rack clean and once in a while, throw away unwanted shoes.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
