Staircase Position and Family Fortune: The Overlooked Space Energy Hub

Staircase is an important channel connecting upper and lower floors, and also a key position for energy flow. If staircase position is incorrect, it causes uneven energy distribution affecting family fortune.

Stairs should not face main door directly, because main door is the qi opening—stairs facing door directly makes incoming qi rush upstairs, making it difficult for wealth to gather.

Stairs should also not be in the center of the house, which would scatter energy and affect overall fortune.

Stairs are best located at house edges, which allows energy to flow upward along walls with minimal loss.

Stairs should not be located in the center of the house, which would make the whole house's energy chaotic.

Stairs should also not face kitchen or bathroom doors, which would let turbid energy flow along stairs affecting whole house atmosphere.

Straight stairs: Simplest direct energy flow, suitable for small homes.

L-shaped stairs: Corners can serve as buffer—is a more ideal choice.

Spiral stairs: Visually beautiful but energy flow is disordered, not suitable for residential use.

Space under stairs is often wasted. Actually it can be used for storage or small study.

Space under stairs should not be used for kitchen or bathroom, which would make home unsettled.

If space under stairs is entrance passage, should keep tidy and bright, not pile up clutter.

Step count: Generally odd numbers, because odd numbers belong to yang, beneficial for energy rising upward.

Step height: Generally 15-18 cm—too tall makes climbing difficult, affecting fortune.

Step width: Generally 25-30 cm—too narrow makes energy crowded, unfavorable for circulation.
