When placing mirrors in the kitchen
Mirrors are objects that reflect and double images, so they gather energy. In many cases, when the energy in the kitchen is weak, hanging a mirror in front of the kitchen can increase the energy and help the homeowner achieve success in their business and livelihood.
In this case, it is recommended to place mirrors in locations that can reflect objects such as cabinets for food and drinks. According to feng shui beliefs, this will create a feeling of abundance and prosperity as the abundance of food in the house increases, leading to successful business endeavors. Placing a mirror opposite the dining table can also double the food on the table, creating a sense of prosperity for the family.
However, it is not advisable to place a mirror directly opposite the cooking area, as it can create an excessive fire element, which is not beneficial for the kitchen space.

When placing mirrors in the living room
For small houses, it is important to expand the front area of the house, which is the main living space. Therefore, placing mirrors in the living room, as they can visually expand the space, can have a positive effect. However, it is also important to choose an appropriate size for the mirrors, as they can create a sense of pressure. Oversized mirrors should be avoided in the living room, as they can create excessive energy pressure and make guests uncomfortable.
In the living room, it is recommended to place mirrors near windows or balconies to receive natural light, which not only saves energy but also creates depth for the house and improves energy circulation. Additionally, mirrors can reflect the natural surroundings, creating a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere for the household members.
When placing mirrors in the living room, be cautious when placing them opposite the main entrance.
When placing mirrors in the bedroom
The bedroom is a sensitive place to put mirrors because they can reflect and double images, symbolizing the appearance of a third person. Therefore, placing mirrors in the bedroom should be done with caution. It is not advisable to place the mirror directly opposite the bed. Mirrors reflect and concentrate energy strongly, which can affect the person sleeping on the bed, especially individuals with weak nerves. If a mirror is needed in the bedroom, it should only be used as a vanity mirror and should not be placed opposite the bed.
Hanging mirrors on the ceiling
If the house has limited space, mirrors can be hung on the ceiling to create a sense of spaciousness. If the mirror is hung and only reflects the area above the dining table without reflecting the seating area, it will not have a negative impact.
However, it is important to note that if a mirror is divided and reflects a person, it can cause a disruption in the person’s energy field, which can have long-term negative effects. Therefore, divided mirrors should be avoided.
When placing mirrors facing the workspace
Having a mirror facing the workspace may be convenient for makeup and visual purposes, but it is not favorable from a feng shui perspective. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid placing mirrors on work desks, as they can reflect and scatter energy. Seeing oneself in the mirror while working is believed to disperse the personal energy and focus.
When mirors facing the main entrance
Placing a mirror directly opposite the main entrance is one of the three taboos when entering a house, known as the “triple inauspiciousness”. The entrance represents the source of energy entering the house, and the success or failure of the household depends on the entrance. Mirrors help double the space, reflect light, and also reflect the energy flow. If a mirror is placed facing the main entrance, it will affect the energy entering the house, weakening the flow of energy. Some people use mirrors for feng shui purposes, but if used improperly or too strongly, it can have a negative effect.
