Q. of the Week: Mirror in the Bedroom?

Here’s a question that arrived today in my inbox:

“There is a huge round mirror above the headboard. It reflects light from the window that is on the wall directly across the room. Bad?”

Mirrors get a lot of use in Feng Shui, but in the bedroom mirrors disturb and stir up the energy in a negative way.

The presence of a mirror in the bedroom interferes with your ability to get a good night’s sleep and reduces the feeling of sanctuary that’s necessary in your bedroom for all kinds of reasons, romance and health being perhaps the most important!

To have good Feng Shui in your bedroom, move mirrors out of the room and into other spaces in your home — hallways, living rooms and dining rooms, for instance.

1. Thank you so much Ann for the explanation about why my lovely mirror above the bed isn’t such a great idea. I plan to replace it with a black and white photo that I love.

2. Great, Liz — that sounds perfect. I’d love to hear if making the change helps you sleep better at night….!
