When mirrors are placed in the kitchen
Mirrors are objects that reflect images, so they gather energy. In many cases, when the air in the kitchen is poor, hanging a mirror facing the kitchen has the effect of increasing energy, helping the owner to have advantages in business and entrepreneurship.
In that case, it is advisable to place mirrors in places that can reflect things like food and beverages. According to feng shui beliefs, this will create a feeling of abundance and warmth due to the abundance of food in the house, and the business will prosper. When placed across from the dining table, the mirror can duplicate the food on the table, thereby creating a feeling of doubled prosperity for the family.
It is not advisable to place a mirror facing the cooking area as it can create excessive fire energy, which is not good for the kitchen space.

When mirrors are placed in the kitchen, it is advisable to place them across from the dining table to duplicate the food and symbolize increased wealth.
When mirrors are placed in the living room
For small houses, it is advisable to expand the front area of the house, which is the clear area in front of the house, so mirrors should be placed in the living room as they can expand the space and have a positive effect. However, mirrors should be placed appropriately because they also create a pressure situation in feng shui. It is not advisable to place oversize mirrors in the living room, as they can create a large energy pressure that makes guests feel uncomfortable.
Mirrors in the living room should be placed near windows or balconies to receive natural light, which saves energy and creates depth for the house and better circulation of energy. In addition, the mirrors will reflect the surrounding nature, making the members of the house feel comfortable and peaceful.

Be careful when placing mirrors in the living room across from the main door.
When mirrors are placed in the bedroom
The bedroom is a sensitive area when it comes to placing mirrors because they can reflect images and symbolize the appearance of a third person. Therefore, mirrors placed in the bedroom must be handled with caution. Mirrors should not be placed facing the bed. Mirrors reflect energy and concentrate energy strongly, so they can affect the person sleeping on the bed. Therefore, people with weak nerves should not place mirrors reflecting on the bed. If a mirror is needed in the bedroom, it should only be a dressing table mirror and should not be placed facing the bed.
Hanging mirrors on the ceiling
If the house has limited space, mirrors can be hung on the ceiling to expand the space. If the mirrors hanging on the ceiling only reflect within the drinking area and do not reflect onto seats, there is no negative impact.
Mirrors are symbols of “what is there is what you get”. If a mirror divides and reflects onto a person, it can distort the energy field of that person, which can have long-term effects. Therefore, it is not advisable to use dividing mirrors.
Mirrors facing the work desk
Having a mirror facing the work desk is convenient for women to apply makeup and observe themselves, but it is not good in terms of feng shui. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid placing mirrors on the work desk because they have the effect of reflecting and dispersing wealth. Seeing oneself in the mirror while working is believed to easily scatter the wealth energy of the homeowner.
Mirrors reflecting the front door
Placing a mirror opposite the main door is one of the three taboo actions when entering a house, known as “forbidden three sights”. Because the door is the main gateway, according to feng shui, where energy flows into the house, prosperity or decline is determined by the door. Mirrors help to duplicate space, reflect light, and also reflect energy and air, so mirrors facing the front door will also affect the energy source entering the house, weakening the flow of energy into the house. Some people use mirrors for feng shui purposes, but if they are not used properly or if they are too strong, they can have negative effects.
