Staircases that face bedrooms and/or beds

[RedShelby85]

My grandma has a staircase that stops right at her bedroom door and is right across from her bedroom window. Is this a problem? If so, is there anything that can be done to offset it? I would really appreciate any advice you may have to offer on the subject. Thanks.

Dear Michelle,
1. In my opinion, I do come across (especially) many homes as what you have described.
2. Overall, although, it may not look `ideal' for such a situation under Feng Shui but from my personal (and past experience); I felt that this is really not of a major issue. Another factor is that at this second level, especially if are pockets of air movement (if one opens the windows) would be good for the circulation of air between level 2 and level 1 via the stair-case/stair-case landing area.
3. Instead, priority should instead be looked at with regards to poison arrows (aimed towards the home) i.e. when one stands at the window or main entrance door looking outwards of the house.
If say, there is a lone lamp post slicing into the house, this should be redressed or neutralised as soon as possible. One concept here is - if it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat.
4. Perhaps, do take note that some FS practitioners may not totally agree with me under Para 1 or 2 and may provide the advise to close the bedroom door. As mentioned earlier, I personally feel that this is really not an issue or not necessary to follow i.e. no need to close the door when not in use.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
