That led us to discovering a leak in the threshold which led to discovering the support beams for the header over the door weren t installed correctly and well one thing led to another and we had a new front door.
Front door opens right into stairs.
No one wants to open the door for guests into a big mess.
I have hung a crystal in the small space and placed a fish tank at the bottom of the steps.
When a staircase is facing the front door directly the feng shui energy rushes up quickly to either the lower or the higher floor thus leaving the main entry as well as the whole main floor without good feng shui energy nourishment.
I have a big landscape photo on the wall heading up the stairs.
Thank you so much for any advice.
At the same time keeping a house in pristine guest condition 24 7 is unrealistic.
My front door opens on a corner of my living room one wall is entirely windows the other wall is the only place to have a living room.
Our front door opens right onto the staircase leading upstairs which is open and with a metal railing.
My house in atlanta is the perfect example of this dilemma.
For today s design dilemma i m talking about how to design a living room where the front door opens into it.
You walk in the door and literally fall smack dab into the living room.
I have this same problem thanks for the post.
How to fix the stairs in the front of the door for feng shui.
However it just does not feel right.
There are two kinds of homes.
Remember earlier i mentioned that the original owner had to step up onto the first stair tread in order to open the front door.
I will probably do nothing until i give up the idea of turning the front porch into an entrance but a window partition could be a lovely solution.
The first one has an entryway a small hallway a nook near the front door or even a sharp turn that separates the front door from the rest of the home.
The main door is called the mouth of chi in feng shui as this is how the house absorbs its much needed chi or energy nourishment.
And then there s the problem that the rest of us face.
This stair is right in front of the front door.
