Dining table facing the Front Door

[myfs_99176]

Is it alright to have a table and chair app. 1m in front of my front door? This makes it seem as though it is a S-shaped pathway into my home.

Dear Carolyn,
1. Yes, I can truly sympathise with many new proud owners of (small compact) homes.
2. In my opinion, one major culprit has to do with the compulsory need for a Household shelter a.k.a. bomb shelter.
This does not sound comforting to some owners. Last year, one client said that since his unit is at the highest floor, and with the launch of bunker busting smart bombs; he felt safer (in an emergency) at his basement car-park than in his apartment! Worse! - If, the intelligence gathering is so lousy - as anyone could claim that he harbours "bin laden". His unit will be the first to "get-it".
3. This is so especially for new two or three room apartments.
4. Sorry for the side-track!
5. More so, ideally, it was (is) felt that when we enter the home, we should not, first see the dining table.
6. This has more to do with commonsense. That, in many homes, if one has only one dining table, usually, it may be piled with food or even newspapers etc...
7. And it may become unsightly. No choice, given that family members may come-home at different times.
8. Usually, it is because of this; that where possible, a dining table should be "out-of-sight" of the main entrance.
If no choice, well, we have to live with it. http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_cry.gif
