Mirror, Mirror: Best Feng Shui Mirror Locations

Here’s a great question from a reader:

“If mirrors are a Feng Shui no-no in the bedroom, where is a good place to hang them?”

It’s true that Feng Shui frowns upon mirrors in bedrooms, especially if you suffer from insomnia or wish to make your bedroom into an intimate sanctuary.

But in just about every other part of your home, mirrors are one of Feng Shui’s main tools for creating positive energy.

  • Mirrors add light – so they are wonderful Chi enhancers for dark rooms and hallways.
  • Mirrors expand your space – so use them to enlarge a small room.
  • Mirrors magnify what they reflect – so place them opposite a beautiful, abundant view — a view of nature or your abundant dining table, for instance.
  • Mirrors reflect you – so hang mirrors that make you feel whole.
  • Mirrors add depth – so use one to “fill in” a missing Bagua area.

How do you use mirrors to enhance your life?

    I keep a beautiful mosaic mirror right in my entryway. It serves an aesthetic, functional and energetic purpose as I come and go throughout the day.

      Carolyn, sounds like perfect placement. Feng Shui-wise, mirrors in entryways symbolize the Water element’s flow of life and energy into your home. :)

    Oh my!  I’m so NOT in line with Feng Shui.  I have mirrors everywhere.  This article is very enlightening and will get me thinking for sure.  Thanks for sharing!

      Roz, mirrors are great in most places in your home, including even the kitchen! The only place they don’t belong is in your bedroom — maybe you can move a few from there out to other rooms in your home. Good luck!
