In home Feng Shui, the most important thing about the house as a whole is the flow of "qi". "Qi" refers to the fresh air outdoors in the specific sense, but also in the abstract sense of "luck" and "wealth". The staircase leading to the second floor in the house not only allows people to move around, but also transports "qi" and enhances the flow of "qi" in the house. Because the staircase has an upward winding tendency, it seems that people cannot see its end, so some people regard it as a symbol of the director's future, so there is a saying that "every home has stairs, and every step is higher."
The stairs themselves are section by section. If the "qi" encounters the stairs first as soon as it enters the door, the stairs will first cut across the tangent lines, either cutting off the "qi" all at once, or It prevents "qi" from flowing smoothly and disrupts the aura. Once the aura is chaotic, the environment in the room will naturally not be much better. It can be seen from this that the stairs are immediately visible when you open the door. Going up and down the stairs may not be very convenient, but the health of the owner of the house will be adversely affected unknowingly.
So when designing stairs, good designers will try their best to prevent the stairway from facing the door. There are three main methods they adopt: First, turn the stairs in one direction facing the door, such as turning the stairs in one direction. The shape of the staircase is designed to be arc-shaped, so that the staircase entrance reverses the direction and faces away from the door; the second is to hide the staircase, preferably behind the wall, and sandwich the staircase with two walls, so that not only does it eliminate the problem of "cutting off the air" The space under the stairs can be designed as a storage room or toilet; third, use a screen to place a shield between the door and the stairs so that the "qi" can flow smoothly Entering the house with the screen in front.
In addition to not facing the door, another taboo about stairs in home feng shui is to set them in the center of the house. Because the center of the house is called the "hole", which is the condensation point of "qi". It is generally believed that this is the soul of the house and the most noble place. The traditional saying of "acupoints" has been accumulated to this day and has become the Chinese aesthetic habits of putting the middle first, centering, and impartiality.
If the stairs are placed in the center of the room, it will appear to be "overwhelming". The stairs are used for people to walk up and down, making the place noisy and restless, which not only wastes the precious area of ????the "hole" , and it has the disrespectful smell of "trampling", which will naturally not bring good luck to the owner of the house.
Finally, the staircase setting should also be consistent with the overall style of the entire residential space environment.
