To understand Feng Shui, you have to understand more than just mirror placement and the way that the mirror reflects based on where you hang mirrors in your home.
There are Feng Shui rules. Rules that affect negative energy, positive energy, energy flow, and encompass all the elements. Fire energy, the water element, earth element - they all play a part in Feng Shui mirror placement.
But don't worry, today we'll give you a comprehensive guide to Feng Shui mirror placement to help, not only with the exact placement of your mirrors, but to also help you understand the rules and stop you from breaking them.
What is Feng Shui?
Before we think about mirror placement, let's just talk about what good Feng Shui is, and how it can affect the feel of your home.
Basically, these are your Feng Shui guidelines and they'll affect everything in your home, including where to hang mirrors later.
Feng Shui is an ancient belief system of Chinese origin. It's based on the movement of Qi, an omnipresent energy that moves from one place to another and can be categorised as either auspicious or inauspicious.
Auspicious Qi is what you're aiming for - it's where the energy in your home moves at a moderate pace - not too lively, or too slowly. This is good Feng Shui.
Inauspicious Qi is lively or slow, and it means your home has a feeling of chaos or stagnation, which isn't a good look, and is NOT good Feng Shui.
Nowadays, Feng Shui is most often associated with interior design. And whilst yes, it certainly helps with interior design because following Feng Shui principles means your rooms will look great, it's the movement of energy that's really the most important thing in Feng Shui - not how a room looks, but rather how it feels.
Why is Feng Shui Important With Mirrors?
Feng Shui doesn't just tell you about Qi and leave you to work it out for yourself, though. There are many helpful Feng Shui tips and tricks that can help improve the feel of your home. Placing mirrors is one of them.
Mirrors are associated with the water element, whilst Qi is associated with air. Water elements can pool Qi, either slowing down the movement or speeding it up as necessary by multiplying the energy.
That's why Feng Shui mirror placement is so important. And following Feng Shui guidelines on this matter could be the difference between your home feeling calm and balanced, or chaotic and unbalanced.
Feng Shui mirror: Where to Place Them
Because there are so many rules around Feng Shui mirror placement, it'll be much easier for you to use this guide to be able to understand the rules as they pertain to each room of the house.
So, to make things easier, here are all the areas where Feng Shui mirror placement is vital in your home:
- Dining room
- Kitchen
- Restroom/Bathroom
- Bedroom
- Living Room
- Foyer and Front Door
- Staircases and Hallways
There are also some general Feng Shui do's and Feng Shui don'ts when you come to hang a mirror, so we'll cover those first before looking at individual rooms and explaining the best way to hang mirrors to get the right Feng Shui mirror placement room by room.
Feng Shui Mirror Do's
The first thing you need to know is that square mirrors and rectangular mirrors are often considered the best. It doesn't matter if it's a wall mirror, standing mirror, large mirror, small mirrors, or antique mirrors - square and rectangular are always best because they capture Qi better, according to Feng Shui traditions.
Second, when you hang a mirror, as a wall mirror, make sure it is at least 4-5 ft off the ground.
Third, hang mirrors only on a North wall or East wall, and make sure it's a solid wall. Hang mirror on a West wall or South wall, and you'll invite negative energy.
You also need to think about how a mirror reflects. That means you'll need to keep your mirror reflecting to the best of its ability at all times - yes, you'll need to clean them regularly to promote negative energy leaving your home, and inviting positive energy in.
In addition, you should also think about hanging mirrors where they can reflect beautiful views from outdoors. There are some exceptions to this rule we'll cover later, but generally, if the view outside your home is natural, i.e. trees to invite the wood element, plants and flowers to invite earth energy etc., then you should reflect that into your home. Anything unnatural or manmade shouldn't be reflected though, as this is considered negative in Feng Shui. Things like telephone wires, lampposts, etc.
Always think about how a mirror adds light and movement to the space, too. Qi can work with your mirror to bring more positivity.
Finally, consider using Bagua mirrors - if you're unsure what a Bagua mirror is, don't worry, we'll have a section near the end that explains it all, and it's really important you read it, because the wrong placement of a Bagua mirror could spell disaster for the balance of Qi in your home.
Feng Shui Mirror Don'ts
NEVER hang mirrors so they face doors. Mirrors facing doors welcome negative energy and send positive energy away. When standing in any doorway of your house, you shouldn't be able to see a mirror.
Don't buy oval or oddly shaped mirrors unless advised by a Feng Shui mirror expert. Placing a mirror of this shape will not allow Qi to flow properly around the home.
Avoid placing mirrors on a West wall or South wall, because a North wall or East wall is best.
You should never hang a mirror within 5ft of entering your home, as this invites Qi to leave again the moment it enters.
Never use an unframed mirror, because when you hang a mirror like this, it's not able to control Qi as it should.
You should avoid placing mirrors in a position where the mirror reflects dirty drains, poisoned arrows, sharp corners, clutter, toilet seats, dustbins, or tv screen (a tv screen should also be covered when not in use to avoid it acting like a mirror).
Avoid hanging mirrors at a height that cuts off the top of the tallest household member's head when the mirror reflects their reflection.
You should throw out antique mirrors that are damaged, and all broken mirrors, for that matter. Damaged antique mirrors and broken mirrors will fragment yourself, making you feel disordered and broken too.
Mirrors facing each other are a big no. One mirror opposite another welcomes chaotic, negative energy into the home. A mirror reflecting another mirror in any way is never a good idea.
You should never place two mirrors facing one another. Two mirrors that are on the wall opposite to one another breeds negativity. Think about it. If the two mirrors can reflect and multiply negativity, then more chaos will be created with them both playing off one another. Two mirrors in the same room is generally a bad idea anyway, unless advised by a Feng Shui expert to help with energy flow.
Avoid mirror leaning forward when you hang a mirror. Flat mirrors against a solid wall are best, because leaning forward invites negative Qi.
Window glass should be translucent, not transparent in panes and doors, to avoid energy flowing out of the home.
And finally, mirrored tiles and mirrored ceilings should be avoided. That's because these mirrored tiles and ceilings distort your image and the image of your home, making you and your living space feel fragmented.
Feng Shui Mirror Placement Room by Room
Now that we've covered the general Feng Shui mirror do's and don'ts, we can move on to the room specific advice. Follow these tips for good Feng Shui in each room, meaning good Feng Shui and energy flow across your entire house!
Dining Room
Your dining room is an important place to start. In Chinese culture, the dining room is a central meeting point for home life, and the right energy flow here is important.
You want your dining room Feng Shui to be calm, but not too calm as you want it to be the hub of your home too.
Thinking about what your mirror reflects can help turn your dining room into the perfect spot!
1. Your Dining Room Will LOVE Mirrors
Your dining room represents the 'vault' of your wealth in Feng Shui. That means the dining room is where you show your wealth - based on the abundance of food on the table, and the love surrounding it.
Now think for a moment about why a mirror reflecting your dining room table is a good idea.
If your dining room is the vault, then your dining table is the heart of that vault. If your mirror reflects your dining table, then it brings in more light, makes the space feel larger, and ultimately multiplies your wealth!
There's a caveat, though.
Hang a mirror facing your dining table, and that doesn't mean you'll attract more wealth. Rather, a mirror facing your dining table means you'll appreciate your wealth more. So, a large mirror is still a good idea here from a Feng Shui perspective, even if it won't bring more wealth your way.
2. Avoid Mirrors Opposite Windows
When you place a mirror in your dining room, make sure it faces the dining table, but NOT the window. A mirror facing a window in your dining room specifically is a bad idea (that's the exception to the rule we mentioned earlier about reflecting nature into your home), so avoid mirrors doing this where you can.
Your mirror inside is capable of bringing negative energy from the outside world in. Your mirror inside acts as a magnet to energy, so whilst a mirror facing the window might bring in more light, it won't be all it's bringing in.
The last thing you want to do is bring negative Qi into your dining area and be punished for placing mirrors poorly.
This might also mean you'll need to think carefully about where you hang a mirror in your dining area to avoid placing it on a West wall or South wall too, so pick the North wall or East wall that faces the dining table, but without facing a window.
Kitchen
Kitchens are naturally chaotic sorts of places. There isn't always natural light, it's often very hot, and there's always the risk of dirty drains, which, we know from earlier, should never be reflected when you place mirrors.
So, can you place mirrors in your kitchen? Well, the answer might surprise you...
1. Mirrors in the Kitchen is a No-No
You'll want to place mirrors elsewhere, because to hang a mirror in your kitchen is poor Feng Shui.
That chaotic energy we talked about above won't just disappear when you hang a mirror - no, it'll multiply. The more you reflect a chaotic scene, the more chaos there will be.
In short, chaos breeds chaos when it comes to mirrors and Feng Shui.
You should avoid mirrors in your kitchen because there's too much potential for negativity:
- Flames from your stove (and mirrors should never reflect fire)
- Sharp corners (mirrors opposite sharp corners are a bad idea, and in kitchens there are many)
- Fire energy is strong in a kitchen (put a mirror close to heat, and it'll make the place hotter)
- Cooking activities give off energy (and when we're stressed, it's negative energy)
Amplifying these sorts of negative Qi is not good, and it'll turn your kitchen into a really negative, chaotic space.
Hang a mirror elsewhere, but not in your kitchen!
2. There is ONE Exception
Yes, it's bad Feng Shui to have a mirror in your kitchen, especially if it's on the opposite wall to your stove. However, you can place your mirror next to your stove, so it isn't on the opposite wall, but only in very special circumstances.
First, make sure your stove isn't on a South wall or West wall - the North wall and East wall rule will still apply. Even though we're breaking another Feng Shui rule by allowing you to hang a mirror in the kitchen, there's a good reason for it!
OK, if your stove isn't on a West or South wall, then you can place a mirror next to it, but only if your stove faces away from the kitchen door. If your back is to the kitchen door whilst cooking, then you can use a mirror.
Some claim that to place mirrors like this isn't really Feng Shui, so much as it is common sense - it's a good idea to see what's behind you at all times.
Either way, placing mirrors opposite stoves is the biggest no-go, so if you can place it next to the stove to see behind you when you cook, that isn't such a bad idea, especially if it makes you feel more comfortable and positive whilst cooking.
Restroom/Bathroom
Like a kitchen, restrooms and bathrooms are complicated spaces when it comes to Feng Shui and the movement of Qi around your home.
Bathrooms create negative Qi, and without putting too fine a point on it, it's because that's where we dispel our waste.
A space that's designed for ridding ourselves of things we don't need is always going to create that negative sort of energy we're trying to avoid.
But can we use mirrors to reflect that energy away, or is it the case that mirrors in the bathroom will create even more negativity - like the kitchen?
1. In Bathrooms, Mirrors Breed More Negative Energy
That's right, in traditional Feng Shui, a mirror shouldn't be found in the bathroom at all. That's because a mirror will only reflect and multiply the negative Qi.
Is that practical today, though?
Most of us use a mirror to brush our teeth in the bathroom, so of course, many of us will need to use one for practical reasons. If you're sticking to traditional Feng Shui rules, though, you shouldn't.
However, if you feel you must, then there is a way of hanging a mirror in your bathroom to stop the negativity from amplifying and ruining the Feng Shui of the rest of your house...
2. Mirror Placement is VITAL
OK, so if you've decided to place a mirror in your bathroom for practical reasons, then there's one key thing you need to know.
NEVER place your mirror so it looks at the toilet.
From a Feng Shui perspective, it'll amplify the amount of negative Qi - since this is where you're dispelling waste, you don't want a mirror to be able to reflect that wasteful energy around the rest of your home and make the spaces elsewhere flow less well.
But also, from just a human perspective, it's never comfortable to use a toilet if you can look yourself in the eye whilst doing so.
So, if you must put a mirror in the bathroom, maybe think about placing it on the same wall as your toilet so it isn't on the wall opposite and reflecting the toilet.
3. Mirrors in a Bathroom Should Never be in Darkness
This rule actually helps you a lot if you're thinking about mirror placement in a bathroom. That's because, if you really need a mirror in your bathroom, then you should consider hanging it on the outside of your bathroom door.
That's because the outside of your bathroom door will rarely be in darkness, whereas any mirror on the inside of the bathroom often will.
The reason behind this darkness rule is that darkness is often associated with negative Qi.
Given that your bathroom is already a place that attracts negative Qi, leaving a bathroom mirror in darkness is not a good idea, because it'll just breed more negativity.
Placing your mirror on the outside of the door is a great idea when it comes to using the bathroom, too. If the mirror is on the outside of your bathroom door, then it can't reflect you when you close it to use the toilet.
But, when you need to brush your teeth or fix your hair, then the bathroom door doesn't need to be closed, you can leave it open, and still use the mirror.
This is probably the best placement for your bathroom mirror when sticking to strict Feng Shui rules.
4. No Mirror in Your Home Should Reflect the Bathroom Door
Finally, every other mirror in your house should never reflect the bathroom door.
First, because if you choose to hang the mirror on the outside of the bathroom door, then that would mean the two mirrors are facing one another and we already know that's not something you should do.
And second, because the bathroom is a private place that shouldn't be seen by others, even if the door is closed.
The negative Qi that breeds in a bathroom will only spread around your house if other mirrors reflect the bathroom door, so avoid this at all costs.
Bedroom
A bedroom is where you sleep, so you'd think that it would be a place of calm, positive energy that you'd want to double with mirrors, right?
Well, mirrors in your bedroom are a little more complicated when it comes to Feng Shui...
1. Some Say to Avoid Mirrors in the Bedroom at All Costs
To some, bedrooms, like bathrooms, are private places for private matters, and reflecting that around your home isn't a good idea.
Negative Qi isn't really something to worry about with a bedroom, but it is still a private place that you might occupy alone or share with one other person. Either way, it's your own sanctuary away from the rest of your home - the rest of the world.
If you place a mirror in your sanctuary, then it kind of defeats the point.
2. If You Must Use a Mirror, NEVER Allow it to Reflect the Bed
If there's one thing all Feng Shui experts and practisers agree on, though, it's that if there is a mirror in the bedroom, it should never reflect the bed.
Why people say that differs slightly, but the basic point is the same: it will only invite chaos into your life.
Here are some common explanations as to why placing a mirror in your bedroom across from your bed is a bad idea:
- Encourages disruptive sleep
- Brings more nightmares into your sleep
- Invites a third person into your relationship
- Invites others to steal your soul
Any of these explanations is reason enough to avoid reflecting your bed. But the bed is the main furniture in your bedroom, so how do you avoid it?
To clear things up now, a mirror should never be hung behind your bed either, because it can store negative energy above your head whilst sleeping, which will only make for an even more disturbed night's sleep.
So where can you put a mirror in the bedroom if you need one?
3. Use Your Closet Doors
Closet doors are brilliant ways of hiding mirrors and guaranteeing they won't reflect the bed.
By hanging a mirror on the inside of your closet door, you'll be able to keep the door closed when you're in bed, and only open the closet door to use the mirror when absolutely necessary.
There is a word of warning from Feng Shui experts here, though.
Make sure your closet is organised, or else the disorder inside will be reflected by the mirror and amplify the negative Qi in the rest of your home, upsetting the balance of energy and making your bedroom feel like it's a place of distress, too.
Living Room
When it comes to your living room, there are mixed messages again.
We suppose that's because Feng Shui is all about the balance of energy, and different Feng Shui experts come down on different sides of the argument with the best way to balance energy in your home.
Even though mirrors in the living room is a hotly contested debate, it's still worth knowing the different arguments so you can decide for yourself if a mirror in your living room is right for you.
1. Arguments for Mirrors in Your Living Room
If you want to place a mirror in your living room, then you'll find many experts who will tell you to go ahead and do it.
That's because, at parties and social gatherings in your living room, a mirror will reflect the scene and double the positive energy.
Not only that, but it will also double the amount of guests (because of the reflection) and make your living room feel more festive and welcoming for others.
Also, a living room is usually the room with the best views of the outdoors in your house. If your living room is overlooking a natural scene, then using your mirror to reflect that into your home is a great way of inviting better energy into your living room.
2. Arguments Against Mirrors in Your Living Room
For others, though, placing a mirror in your living room is never a good idea. That's because a mirror will reflect and amplify the energy in the room.
If that energy is positive, then that's great.
But if that energy is negative, well, that's a different story...
Many Feng Shui experts point to the fact that your living room is your entertaining space - the place your guests will visit the most.
By hanging a mirror here, you'll reflect whatever energy they bring with them, and we all know that sometimes guests don't come in good moods.
Sometimes they're sad, angry, or hurt, and if you have a mirror in the room that can reflect that, then your whole Qi balance at home can be shifted negatively.
Of course, you could just be stricter about who you invite into your home, but turning away a friend in need because you don't want to upset your Feng Shui might be fine for your Qi, but it won't sit right with your karma...
3. One Rule You Should Never Break
Even those in favour of mirrors in your living room agree that a mirror over your sofa is a bad idea.
First, sofas should be against a wall according to Feng Shui to increase security - basically, you'll always know who is coming if your back is to the wall when you're sitting on a sofa.
By placing a mirror behind you, you remove that security because you're reflecting things behind your head that you can't see.
Another explanation is that a mirror is able to pool energy, and if that energy is negative, then you'll literally spend your whole day with a sort of negative cloud above your head on the sofa. That's not good for Feng Shui, and it won't be good for your mood either.
So, whatever you do, never hang a mirror behind your sofa if you're going to have one in the living room.
Foyer and Front Door
Placing a mirror in your foyer and by your front door is often a good idea. It's the main door to your house, and so you're always coming and going from this point.
A mirror by the front door means you can check that you look OK one last time before leaving.
Even if your foyer is small, a small mirror on a small wall is still something we like to have for one last quick look at ourselves.
And actually, Feng Shui experts encourage mirrors by the main door to your home and in the foyer, but only if you stick to certain rules...
1. Never Reflect the Front Door
Just like how the main door to your home is our entrance and exit points, your front door is the same for Qi.
You can attract all the good energy and Qi you like, but if your mirror is reflecting the main door to your home, then you'll reflect any Qi out your front door, because it isn't welcoming it.
Instead, place your mirror on a wall perpendicular to your front door. When it's on a wall perpendicular to it, the Qi won't be reflected right out the front door as before, and you'll be able to benefit from the positive Qi.
Also, remember the general rule from earlier of avoiding placing any mirror within 5ft of your front door.
If you have a small foyer, then this may not be possible, but try to keep mirrors as far away from your front door as possible, and make sure it isn't reflecting it.
2. Think About Your Sliding Door
This won't be applicable to everyone, but a lot of people have a sliding door right next to their entrance door because it's convenient for moving large objects in and out of the house.
Even if you don't use this sliding door often, it's still an entrance door for Qi, and so mirrors shouldn't reflect this either.
The general rule from earlier about mirrors not reflecting doors in your home applies to the entrance points, as well as all internal doors.
Staircases and Hallways
The last important spaces in your home that must be thought about carefully for Feng Shui and mirror placement are your staircases and your hallways.
A narrow staircase or small hallway could be made to feel bigger with a mirror or two (so long as they aren't facing), but what do Feng Shui experts suggest?
Let's deal with staircases first.
1. Placing Your Mirror on a Staircase
If your staircase is narrow, then a mirror isn't just a good idea, it's a necessity.
According to Feng Shui, a narrow staircase diminishes fortune and abundance, so will attract more negative Qi to your home.
To tackle this, a mirror placed on the staircase can make the staircase feel much wider than it really is. This then welcomes more fortune and abundance than before, and stops the spread of negative Qi.
If your staircase is quite wide already, though, then a mirror will probably have the opposite effect.
Instead of attracting more abundance and fortune, it'll actually cut the positive Qi and stop it from spreading to the rest of your house.
This is likely because, in Chinese culture, bragging or showiness is a bad thing. So, if you already have a wide staircase inviting abundance and fortune, then a mirror trying to attract more isn't a good look and will mess with your Feng Shui balance.
2. Placing your Mirror in a Hallway
Your hallways are natural travel routes in your home, taking you from place to place. Without hallways, your home wouldn't flow.
And what works for humans works for Qi.
That means Qi travels around your home through hallways too, and many people forget that. So, to help with the flow of Qi around your home, hallways should absolutely have a mirror or two.
There is one key rule when placing a mirror in your hallways, though, and that's to make sure your mirror is never at the end of a hallway looking down it.
A mirror on the side walls is fine and will help with flow, but a mirror staring straight down the hallway is a bad idea.
This is because the Qi will be slowed by the mirror, and many believe that it's a very unwelcoming sign, so it might not just slow your Qi, but stop it flowing altogether.
That could mean you end up with balanced Qi downstairs, for example, but no Qi upstairs because a mirror at the end of your hallway is sending it away.
So, place them on the sidewalls, by all means, to help Qi flow around your home, but never place a mirror at the end of the hallway.
Feng Shui Mirror Room by Room Round-Up
That brings us to the end of room-specific advice for mirror placement in Feng Shui. Just remember the general do's and don'ts of Feng Shui, so you don't accidentally break one of the rules, and then follow the advice in this guide room by room to make sure your Qi is balanced at home.
However, right near the start we said you should try to use Bagua mirrors in your home, and a Bagua mirror is really important in Feng Shui, so we'll explain that below.
Bagua Mirrors Explained
A Bagua mirror is a protective amulet used to send negative Qi and poison arrows away from your home. It is by far the most powerful mirror in Feng Shui, and it's used to depict the Former Heaven Sequence or Early Heaven Sequence.
You can find a Bagua mirror here and there that depicts the Later Heaven Sequence in Chinese Feng Shui, but really, it's the early version you want to protect your home from the worst kinds of Qi.
A Bagua mirror has 8 trigrams around its octagon or round shape, and these trigrams represent 8 different directions:
- North
- East
- South
- West
- Northeast
- Northwest
- Southeast
- Southwest
This is important because when negative Qi arrives at your Bagua mirror, it is dispersed in any one of these directions, or reflected back at the source. Either way, your home is protected.
It might seem like a good idea to invest in a Bagua mirror to protect your home, but there are a few rules you'll need to follow too.
1. Bagua is About More Than Just Mirrors
Before we talk about Bagua mirror placement, we just wanted to remind you that Bagua is about more than that.
It's about your whole home and how it relates to different aspects of your life.
You can often find and use a Bagua map to help make this clearer, so you understand how each room (and the direction it's facing: North, East, South, etc.) affects your life.
2. A Bagua Mirror Should Never be Placed Indoors
A Bagua mirror is incredibly powerful. To place one indoors is a dangerous thing and can often lead to unrivalled chaos in your home.
Only if directly instructed to place a Bagua mirror indoors by a Feng Shui expert should you do it. And this will only be given as advice in exceptional circumstances because Qi is struggling to flow properly around your home, or there is so much stagnant, negative Qi in your home already that regular mirrors just won't do it.
But unless directly told to place a Bagua mirror inside, avoid it.
Besides that, it's best to place a Bagua mirror above your front door outside. This helps keep the worst negative Qi away from your home and stops it from entering.
This is definitely recommended if you have something negative directly facing your front door too, such as the sharp corners of a roof, or a lamppost, for example. Remember, these welcome negative Qi, so anything you can do to stop it from entering your home is a good idea.
3. Convex Mirrors Matter in Bagua
When a Bagua mirror is convex (that is to say, it curves outwards) it can reflect negative Qi away. When it hits the mirror, it is simply reflected elsewhere, so it's unable to enter your home.
However, some Feng Shui experts will warn against using a convex mirror because it can reflect negative Qi away from your home but into your neighbours, which isn't ethical.
This can obviously cause upset if your neighbour practices Feng Shui too and recognises the convex Bagua mirror as a problem for them and their Feng Shui in their home.
In general, then, it's best to avoid using a convex Bagua mirror where possible.
4. What About a Concave Mirror?
If the Bagua mirror is concave (curves inwards) then it actually absorbs and neutralises the negative Qi.
That means it won't reflect it on your neighbours or anywhere else, for that matter. Thi is a much more ethical way of dealing with negative Qi.
Think about it. If you're able to absorb the negative Qi, then not only is it not going to upset your neighbour's Feng Shui, but it also won't be out in the world to affect anybody else either, so really a concave Bagua mirror can only be a good thing.
A concave Bagua mirror is best when it depicts the Former Heaven Sequence too, as Feng Shui experts suggest it not only absorbs negative Qi. But stops it coming in your home but welcomes positive Qi too.
5. A Warning About a Flat Bagua Mirror
There are some people who claim a flat Bagua mirror is best.
According to them, a flat mirror is able to both reflect negative Qi and attract positive Qi.
However, many Feng Shui experts would still always suggest using a concave Bagua mirror over anything else, as it still has the power to absorb negative energies and stop them from spreading elsewhere.
Others are sceptical of a flat Bagua mirror anyway because traditionally these mirrors were always made of either convex or concave mirrors.
So, if you want to stick to traditional Feng Shui advice, stick with a concave Bagua.
Feng Shui Mirror Takeaway Message
That brings us to the end of our Feng Shui mirror guide. You can always head back here to read through the guide whenever you need to in the future.
Remember the general do's and don'ts that apply to your entire house, and then check out the room by room guide to help with mirror placement in your home.
The general rules should always be kept in mind first because these are the Feng Shui rules that impact the rest of the advice people give about Feng Shui.
However, room-by-room guidance is often a good way to think practically about how these rules apply so you can make sure your home is flowing as it should.
And, of course, don't forget to use a concave Bagua mirror on the outside of your home above your front door to absorb negative Qi before it enters your home.
This is the most ethical way of using a Bagua mirror, and Feng Shui experts will always suggest concave mirrors over convex or flat ones for this reason.
If you follow the advice in this guide, stick to the Feng Shui principles and think carefully about your mirrors, and you should find your home is balanced with auspicious Qi that'll bring a sense of calm and positivity to your home.
This will then mean your home is more inviting to guests and more comfortable for you, which is ultimately what Feng Shui aims to achieve.
A home can look stylish, but without the proper balance and flow of energy, it won't feel like a place people can congregate comfortably.
So, stick to the advice in this guide, and you'll soon see that your home is a much more positive place to be!
