How To Ward Off House Thief

To most of us, security at home is very important. Ever experienced coming home one night and found your belongings scattered around? Or maybe you heard funny noises while you were sleeping and wondered if it was some thieves in your house? Would you like to worry less and enjoy your home better? Well, besides house alarm or sealing up your house with grills and locks, why not place an interesting home decor, which will help to ward off house thieves?

Chinese culture believes that by placing umbrellas in the lobby or at the front of the house, your house can be prevented from being the thief's target. Umbrellas placed into a nice urn near the front door not only add a spark to your lobby but also make the area organized while you can reach for an umbrella easily. There are many urns in the market but we highly suggest that you get one that matches your door, wall and size of your lobby. If you can't decide, get a plain ceramic urn that will match any background. Chinese Feng Shui also mentioned urns next to the front door will help to capture the energy (chi) flowed into the house. Besides urns, you can try using baskets, umbrella stands and vase.
