When main door faces the bedroom door

Dear cecil,
Is it bad if the main door faces the bedroom door. Besides keeping the screen is there any other solution to solve the problem. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. The worst senario is where the front door meets the balcony or there is a direct path from the main door (exiting) towards a window, or balcony.
However, this is easy to solve as most of us are aware, to place a screen or close the side of the balcony glass facing directly the door.
2. For the case of the bedroom door facing the main door, this is less auspicious than Para 1. You can still close the bedroom door when the main door is open. (I can understand the problem of placing a screen here).
It is still best to use a screen if the main entrance door is next to a wall. This is an ideal situation for placement of a screen. But if the main entrance opens to a column (wall) free area, it is difficult to place a screen (like an island).
Other than the above, for now, I cannot think of any other `solution'.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
