Dear Robert or Cecil:

I'm looking to buy a house. This one is NE1,P7. I'm a strong water, west house person. So this house seems fine. Also there is no bathroom facing the front door, next to the front door, in the center of the house. The only problem is that the front door facing half of the stairs (as shown in the picture). But there is not enough space to place a screen between the door and the stairs. Will it work if I place a tall tree in front of the railings to cover them soyou cannot see the railings when you stand at the front door?

Thanks much for your advice,

Hoa

Dear Hoa Luong,

Yes, one alternative is to place a plant. Alternatively, if we frequently leave the wooden door open, one could consider a reflective grill gate e.g. stainless-steel gate that has a mirror effect that covers most of the side of the gate that faces this stairs.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
