Main Door

[myfs_145115]

Master Cecil,
I read that main door should not face a corner. I am attaching a layout of the house. Is the main door facing the bedroom corner? Is this bad?
Thank you.

1. Please see attachment.
2. In my opinion the main door face only a tiny area of the bedroom corner thus generally OK.
3. From the layout, can't really tell whether to go upstairs, it is from A to B or from the area B to A.
4. Ifthestart of the staircase is from A to B; then best to close the main entrance door when not in use; as if we stand at the main door and see the staircase ... "coming down" this is symbolic of wealth flowingdown the staircase and the"nearest" exit point is via the main entrance.
5. Thus in terms of "wealth" leak;if the entrance of the staircase starts at A; this is inmy opinion, a greater concern than the tiny protusion of the bedroom corner wall.

Further to what I had mentioned, just re-looked at the layout plan:-
1. Looks like the large expanse of windows and main door open towards the car garage.
2. Other than the concern for the rain, always good to have some openings at the side of the lawn and at the bedroom, the windows could be opened.
3. This is to avoid any remote possibility of carbon monoxide - if the garage door is closed and the fumes from the vehicles inadvertently "craw" into the home. (Nice-to do: Some invest in a reasonably priced carbon monoxide detector in the living room area and bedroom).
4. Of course commonsense not to store any inflammable items in this garage.

Master Cecil,
If the start of the stair will be at B, is this considered a major leak and must be cured?
The centerpoint of the house (intersection of 2 lines excluding garage and backyard area)is near thecorner of the bathroom and the bedroom door.Is thisa concern?

Thank you for your advice.

1. It is even better as the staircase is at Marking B vs if the staircase is at marking A.
You said: "The centerpoint of the house (intersection of 2 lines excluding garage and backyard area)is near thecorner of the bathroom and the bedroom door.Is thisa concern?"

2. To understandthe extent of how serious a leak is etc... cannot be based on such a short statement that you wrote (shown in red, above).
3. Feng Shui is a holistic approach and many other considerations like: firstly, location, location and location; the facing direction, the flying star numbers... da da da ... di di di ... da da da..If you want an answerjust onthe above statement, thenmy recommendation is: get a coin: choose the significance of what is if head or tail. Thenflipthe coin and, here,whatever answer .. go for it.

Master Cecil,
Thank you for your advice.
I would like to seek further clarification regarding the main door facing the bedroom corner.
The main door is 2.3 meters from the bedroom corner.
Based on the previous layout, the protrusion seems to be very small.
But based on actual measurement, the protrusion is 20 centimeters. Is the protrusion still considered tiny and can be ignored or should I move the main door to the right?
Thank you.

These are some of the considerations:
1. Frankly, one has to see beyond the "bedroom corner" and the main door.
2. For example, there is a difference between (see attachment) Layout A or Layout B.
3. If your home is "Layout A"; where the bedroom door does not directly face the main door: see attachment: Markings A or A1 ; or the door bedroom door could be at the other side; then the considerations are different from that of Layout B.
4. If assuming your Layout is A; sometimes it may be a blessing in disguise if there are some openings at BLUE marking "C". Just close your eyes and imagine... if you shift your main door to the right and if one opens window(s) frequently; this is considered inauspicious especially if you don't have a partition or simply: allowing qi to flow directly from the main door out towards the back.
5. If your layout is Layout B. Then one additional complication is that if you leave your bedroom door (as shown under Marking in red B) then just imagine if the bedroom door is left open; take a look at theattached illustration: can you imagine the purple line Marking "F"(where the wall of the bedroom becomes like a "knife" slicing towards the maindoor?
6. In addition, under Layout B,one has to be careful of any openings directly facing the bedroom. Ifany of the openings e.g. in greenMarking "D" or "E" = windows opened, then qi would leak out of the home.

7. Thus, if your Layout is Layout A; then the small portion of the wall facing the main door is less of an issue. And in my opinion, can be left alone. Especially if shifting the main door would mean that there may be more window openings : especially if the windows or any other openings are always opened.
8. Under Layout B; it is more complicated as one may have to close the bedroom door; when not in use and other factors; that I had mentioned under Para 5.
9. Therefore, in my opinion, don't just look at the "smaller" picture; but think of all the repercussions that I had mentioned.
