STAIRS BEFORE ENTRY DOOR
It is not advisable to have a staircase directly in front of the entrance door. The vital energy (chi) of the house can be weakened, and the privacy of residents can be very exposed. If your staircase is of this type, reverse this trend by placing a multifaceted crystal in the ceiling between the staircase and the door, and tall potted plants with soil (maybe the money tree or the tree of happiness) next to the entrance and under the steps.
STAIRS IN THE CENTER OF THE HOUSE
The center of a property symbolizes strength, stability, and balance. The staircase facilitates movement between floors, leaving unstable energy because of this exchange and natural flow. For this reason, it is not advisable to have stairs in the center of the house, if it can be helped. If yours is located at this center point, the remedy advised is to decorate the area with Earth-related themes and objects, such as pots or pottery, natural potted plants with earth or a yellow-colored conservatory, or large, heavy objects. These are Feng Shui remedies to create steadiness and stability in the place.

Also, make sure to place natural plants and a light focus from the bottom up to balance the energy along with some live plants.
NARROW STAIRS
This type of stairway conveys an idea of difficulty, insecurity, and of a sightless pathway. In this case, the ideal would be to decorate the walls with mirrors and radiant paintings. These paintings should be very bright and vibrant, and of great quality to create the feeling of amplitude and fullness on the stairs.
EMPTY STAIRS
Opened stairs have the capability to unbalance and break the energy flow of the house. The solution is to close the steps and decorate them with yellow items. Another option is to place natural plants under the stairs to harmonize and stabilize the energy.
