It is the best Feng Shui if your guests see an attractive lobby area or living room when the 
front door is opened.
However, we do not want the door to open directly onto the living room as this destroys the privacy of the occupants
The remedy for this is to partially screen the entrance.
A bookcase, decorative screen or a large potted plant can provide the necessary privacy without detracting from the feng shui of the room.
The interior should be well-lit to encourage the ch’i to enter.
Dimly lit and gloomy entrances discourage ch’i.
The remedy for this is to increase the amount of light in the entrance area.
A chandelier would be perfect for this, as the crystals energize the ch’i and reflect it in every direction.
It is bad Feng Shui for the front door to open directly onto a staircase going either up or down.
This confuses the ch’i as it does not know whether to upstairs or into the rooms on the ground floor.
It also means that the occupants will be inclined to come into the house and immediately go to their own rooms, rather than socialize with other family members.
This does not apply if the staircase is at right angles to the front door as this arrangement allows the ch’i time to get used to the layout of the house.
The remedy for a staircase that goes directly up from the front door is to hang a crystal from the ceiling above the bottom step.
The ch’i will be attracted to this, rather than to the staircase.
Usually a staircase going downstairs from the front door will have a door. Keep the door closed whenever possible
It should not be possible to see the back door from the front door.
This situation allows the ch’i to enter the house, only to immediately leave again.
Also, if the back door is at the end of a long hallway leading from the front door, you have an internal shar. If possible, change the position of the back door.
Alternatively, a screen could be put up to conceal the back door from anyone entering the front door.
Crystals or wind chimes can be hung up immediately inside both the front and back doors to encourage the ch’i to linger.
Finally, if the back door is solid, a mirror can be placed on it to encourage the ch’i back inside.
