Near the Main Entrance
The main entrance of a home is considered the primary channel through which wealth, opportunities, and positive energy flow into the household. Storing a broom near this area is believed to symbolize sweeping away all these blessings before they can settle into your home. In many cultural beliefs, placing a broom in plain sight at the entrance is thought to create an impression of chaos or lack of preparedness, which can drive away good luck. Instead, it’s better to keep the broom in a hidden storage space away from the doorway to preserve the energy that brings prosperity.
In the Living Room
The living room is often regarded as the heart of the home, where family members spend time together and guests are welcomed. This area symbolizes unity, harmony, and hospitality. Keeping a broom in this space may disturb the balance of positive energy and is thought to create a sense of disorder. Additionally, in traditional beliefs, the living room is a place where blessings and fortune are shared with others, so having a broom here might be seen as sweeping away good relationships, peace, and happiness. To maintain the sanctity of this space, consider storing cleaning tools in a closet or utility room.
In the Kitchen
The kitchen is deeply tied to the health, wealth, and well-being of the family. It is the source of nourishment and symbolizes abundance. Storing a broom in this space, especially in corners or near food preparation areas, is considered unlucky because it may metaphorically “sweep away” the family’s prosperity, health, and harmony. Some even believe that having a broom in the kitchen may bring financial instability. To ensure that the kitchen remains a space of abundance and positivity, designate a separate storage area for cleaning supplies, such as a pantry or a utility closet, away from where meals are prepared and shared.
By paying attention to where you store your broom, you can align with traditional practices that aim to cultivate a harmonious and prosperous living environment.
