Dear Julie,

Frankly, there are two considerations here:-

1. Mirrors at staircase landings need not necessarily be bad. One school of thought here is that a mirror at this location can help to `move' Qi up or down the stairs.

2. Another consideration is that a mirror at the wrong wall or sector can bounce back twice the bad luck.

Undera Para 2, if one is not sure, one should not place a mirror on the stair-case landing.

3. In your question, you mentioned that a mirror is facing the stairs, frankly, this is more of a "commonsense approach". Or we can say that this is more of a commonsense type of `Feng Shui'.

3.1 Here, it may become inauspicious because, sometimes we do get a shock especially at night when e.g. going downstairs. And we see a `figure' approaching us.

3.2 This usually applies to guests or even uneventfully, it may affect us, especially when we hear noises downstairs. During such situations, it may just unfortunately happen - fall down the stairs.

In such a situation, we may lose our step and fall down.

In my opinion, this is the rationale why, (not necessarily) Feng Shui that it may not be good to have a mirror facing the stairs.
