A project of a staircase is always a typical Feng Shui case for harmonizing your home.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To get a good harmony inside your home there should be a balance in the circulation of energy (qi<\/a> in Chinese), avoiding to take directions which produce an excess of build-up in some spots and a lack in other ones.
<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How to design a staircase with Feng Shui: we need to plan with accuracy the paths either forleading \u2018qi\u2019 and people to different floors, as staircases, or from a room into another, as corridors and entrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern architecture has partially solved\u00a0the problem creating the so-called \u2018open spaces\u2019, which bring in more light and space thanks to the elimination of partition walls, though there are\u00a0some drawbacks, such as \u00a0the difficulty to arrange spaces when they are too wide, a higher risk of cluttering up some rooms and more lack of privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design of inside and outside staircases has always been a complex problem, involving not only technical and aesthetic matters but also safety, so we really need a proper solution to avoid disharmony in our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Feng Shui<\/a>, you cannot achieve a good level of harmony if the qi <\/em>drifts too suddenly from a room into another: for instance it is considered a bad positioning of a staircase when its entrance is lined up with the entrance door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we want to lessen the impact of an inside staircase we have to keep in mind several aspects, since its presence represents a gap on the horizontal flow of qi<\/em>: an upward and downward movement is always a critical stage, as it performs a change from an horizontal to a vertical plane. A narrow spiral staircase produces a sudden motion which causes a serious lowering of the general harmony of ‘qi’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wider the staircase, the easier for the qi<\/em> to keep a slow and winding movement, so we can get a better circulation of the qi itself and have more safety too. This requires designing short stairs, building with softer material as wood or using carpets and moquettes in order to slow up the qi<\/em> and, most of all, giving the staircase a wide and little sharp-edged form, avoiding hard and high banisters which cut the qi<\/em> and and don\u2019t let the light trough.<\/p>\n\n\n

Harmonizing your home: an optimal solution for the running of the qi through a staircase.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A key point for harmonizing your home is designing with accuracy staircases, corridors and entrances, avoiding dark corners and unused spaces from the one hand, and difficult passages from the other hand. So please pay attention also to illumination, to the entrance of your staircase and to its shape.<\/p>\n\n\n
