Description
A red door can have 3 meanings that I know of:
1. In Feng Shui, a red door means �Welcome.� Actually it means something about welcoming energy.
2. A red door means �protection.�
This is a Biblical meaning. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew children were instructed to rub blood on their doorposts so that the Angel of Death would pass over their home. A home with red on the door was protected.
You�ll still see this today at churches if you pay attention. Many of them have their doors painted red. It�s symbolic for the protection of God.
3. A red front door means a mortgage-free home.
This first started in Scotland. When someone paid off their home, they would then paint the front door red. It was an announcement to the world �Hey! We�re debt free!�
A village home in England laden with a blanket of fresh snow, set by a stone bridge over a frozen creek. You might have your own meaning to add for the red door.
