Staircase Feng Shui

A staircase facing the door drains wealth; a spiral at the centre pierces the home.

✓ Free tool

A staircase moves qi between floors — powerfully. Facing the door it drains wealth; spiralling at the centre it pierces the home's heart.

In brief
A staircase channels qi between floors, so its position matters. A stair facing the main door lets wealth qi rush out, and a spiral stair at the home's centre is said to pierce the heart of the house. FengMaster helps you read the flow and remedy a poorly placed stair.
Frequently asked
Why should not stairs face the front door?
Qi entering the door would flow straight up or down the stairs and out, instead of circulating and nourishing the home, read as wealth draining away. A screen, plant or console table between them slows the rush.
Is a spiral staircase bad feng shui?
A spiral stair at the centre of the home is the main concern, likened to a corkscrew through the building's heart. Toward the edge it is far less troubling; a central light and plants soften it.
What makes a staircase auspicious?
Gentle, well-lit, solid steps that curve rather than plunge straight, positioned away from the main door and the home's centre, letting qi rise and settle smoothly between floors.
