Feng Shui Warns: Where Not to Place Mirrors

## Mirror Opposite the Front Door It is believed that a mirror placed directly opposite the entrance reflects the flow of energy entering the home. As a result, the space may seem less cozy, and the overall feeling may be unstable. Moreover, such a placement creates a visual effect of "repulsion" — upon entering the room, a person immediately encounters their reflection, which is not always perceived comfortably. ## Too High or Too Low Placement If the mirror is installed too high or, conversely, too low, it distorts the perception of one’s reflection. This can cause discomfort and disrupt visual harmony. The optimal option is to place the mirror so that the reflection is natural and proportional. ## Distorted Reflection Mirrors with defects or strong image distortion can create an unpleasant visual impression. In the interior, it is better to use quality surfaces that provide a clear and even reflection. It is also important that the mirror reflects pleasant elements — a tidy interior, light, or decor, rather than clutter. Proper placement of mirrors helps make the space brighter, more harmonious, and comfortable. Even from a design perspective, it is important to consider not only the shape and size but also what will be reflected and how it affects the overall perception of the home.
