Hi Master Cecil Lee,
I understand that, generally, the bedroom door should not face the stairs. However, where would the stairs be considered to end?
Please refer to the attached picture, with your focus on the stairs and bedroom 1's door position. The last step of the stairs end perpendicular to the bedroom door. As such, a case could be made that bedroom 1's door is not facing the stairs. However, a case could also be made in that the stairs has not yet ended as you would have to turn to the left (thereby facing the bedroom) to truly exit the stairs.
Could you please advise on where the stairs would be considered to have ended and if the position of bedroom 1's door (as shown in the attached picture) is fine?
Thank you!

These are some considerations:
1. Many Feng Shui concepts originated from (simply) pure common sense.
2. Frankly, it is best to put on one's thinking cap... as to Why? some say it is inauspicious?
3. The chief concern is not so much of what you wrote.
3.1. Do you know that if one were to speculate left, right, centre and until the cows come home; one will not get a correct answer (if any).
4. Let me share with you the following:-
4.1. The main concern of a bedroom door facing a step of stairs if the bedroom door is very close to these steps. Thus even if the bedroom door open inwards into the bedroom, but if the stairs are too close; one may fall down. That's all.
4.2. Or if the bedroom door open outwards; and if one were to open the bedroom door; then there may be a person on the stairs who then may fall down if the door is opened suddenly and he/she has no room to quickly step backwards.
4.3. Or someone could be rushing up the steps and /or the person running out of the bedroom have a "clash" of heads... etc...
5. The above then is a real concern.
 

IN SUMMARY

The primary takeaway from the text is that while Feng Shui concepts may often be rooted in common sense, the specific concern regarding a bedroom door facing stairs is the potential for accidents due to proximity, highlighting the importance of practical safety considerations in home design.

Compass readings differ based on the spot from which they are taken.

Compass readings vary by location due to magnetic declination, which is the angle difference between magnetic north and true north. Understanding how to take accurate readings is essential for effective application of Flying Star Feng Shui
