Hi Cecil, I guess you must have answered this question a thousand times. But just like to recap, we just purchased a 5 room flat, and our front door is facing a common staircase ( both upwards and downwards can be seen from our main door) . We have heard people saying to use a foyer after the main door to block the Sha energy, others say to put a small fish tank or some potted plants , or some say to built another door within the aisle in between the main door and the living room. We are confused. What is your recommendations ? Samantha.
