In general, it is always prudent to look at `weaknessess' if any of a new home. Prior to making enhancements. This is usually the key success factor.

Try to make sure that your main entrance door is protected. (Usually, there is no threats to the main entrance). But, there is no harm doing a `preventive audit'.

Such as looking out of the main door and from all windows of the home. Check for poison arrows e.g. lamp posting slicing thru the main door or window(s) or other threats.

Is there a direct path of `air flow' from the main door directly out at the opposite end?

As mentioned, there is really no harm looking at `threats' or `weakness' of your home (if any).

The most common Feng Shui (authentic) cure in Feng Shui is a 6 rod hollow - metallic wind chime.

Other than this, usually, each sector is analysed, prior to giving advise as to or not to use a wind chime. (Feng Shui audits involve a thorough look)

If the above is not considered, than one may have to use one's intutition.

If this common place in your area/county/country, then this is fine.

A pair of lion statues can be used. Most common is to use stone ones either white or granite.

But they have to face out. They should also be in a proprotionate size (not too skinny looking). They should preferably tbe smiling as opposed to being fierce looking.

Paragoda is genrally fine. As in the past, it is used in Feng Shui both to neutralise `bad vapours' or underground water.

If it is also used or placed on a child's
study table - for scholaristic achievement. Searh for pagoda in this forum for more on it's placement.

For a lawn statue of 'Kwan-Yin' hmmm.... frankly, this is not common place. Worse still if it is easily accessible by dogs. Imagine, a dog, bringing up its hind leg and peeing on the figurine.......

There are many rulesets and it is difficult to let you know all in one go. Try to understand more about the strengths and weakness of each FS concept.
