Dear Ana,

Please refer to the attached.

In my opinion, the love seat is inappropriate to screen the main door from the staircase.

It is best that a screen be used between the main door and the staircase. So long as the stairs is not seen, this will no longer become a threat.

A few months ago, I encountered a case where my client redo the second level such that the staircase faces the main door. This is not healthy.

Ever since, they had done so, and with other problems i.e. main door facing windows, these lead to many leaks in the home. The end result is that they continously face finacial problems.

Generally, a mirror at the staircase landing (say at Marking `C' under the attachment)is acceptable as it aids Qi flow. But, placing a mirror or mirrors (e.g. at Marking `B') can have a double edged sword: If the location is bad, it can bounce back twice the bad luck! Flying Star Feng Shui is usually used in conjuction to determing whether it is good or bad to do so.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
