Staircase at Front Entrance

[Bailey]

I am so new to Feng Shui, but I'm trying
to learn as much as possible. The main
entrance opens directly to the staircase.
I've read this is not good FS. What are
the remedies? I now have a console with
a mirror above with a floral arrangement
sitting on the console. The staircase is
opened to the dining room only slightly.
Thanks for you help,
Sandra

Yes, it is inauspicious to have the entrance open directly to the staircase. The best neutralizing `agent' is using a partition or decorative partition `shielding' the staircase from the door. Other than this frankly, other methods are not effective.

So sorry, can u elaborate this portion as I do not quite understand. Do you mean that you placed a console below the stairs or at which specific location. Is this related to the top question.
Thanks

I also have stairs facing the front door and have tried a remedy. I put an end table at the bottom of the stairs,against the wall.It has a colorful arrangement of silk flowers on it. Opposite this wall is a face level mirror which holds a smaller arrangement of flowers. I think it is working because people who come in have not even noticed the stairs when I've mentioned them shortly thereafter. Does this sound sufficient, Cecil? Thx.
