I am thinking about purchasing a home and I'm concerned about the Feng Shui. The stairs face the front door. It has a double front door that uses the right door as an entrance. The left door will normally remained closed. When opened, the left door runs directly into the base of the stairway. Therefore the right door opens just to the right of the stairway. Is this bad? There is no room to pust a screen or divider because of the closeness of the stairs to the front. To visualize, you can use the diagram listed in the Unfavourable Stair section of this site and imagine a double door in place of the single door shown.

Dear Anon,
Thanks for your description.
In my opinion, it is inauspicious under the Shapes and Form Feng Shui for the staircase to be seen from the front door.
Since it is inappropriate to use a screen, the door facing the staircase should not be opened.
Overall, if you have a choice, (if you can) try to find another better house. As the above is bad Feng Shui and since one cannot use a screen; difficult to cure.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
