Mirror, Mirror: Best Feng Shui Mirror Locations

Filed Under: Feng Shui Basics & Essentials Tagged With: Feng Shui & Mirrors, Feng Shui For Your Home, Reader Questions

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?”

Feng Shui mirror reflecting garden

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 bring in what they reflect – so place them to bring a beautiful, abundant view of nature into your home, for instance.
  • Mirrors double abundance, so they can be ideal in your dining room or kitchen.
  • Mirrors add depth – so use one to “fill in” a missing Bagua area.

Most important, wherever you hang them,

  • Mirrors reflect you – so hang mirrors that make you feel whole.

Do you have a specific question about using mirrors in your space?  If so please send it to me via my Ask Ann page.

    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. 🙂

          Hi Dalia,
          In Feng Shui we say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” In other words if you feel good about what you see when you look in the mirror, there’s no need to replace it. If your inner life ever begins to feel fractured, you may want to put that mirror away for awhile to recover your sense of wholeness.

    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!

    Dear Ann,
    I live in India and we usually do no have walk in closets so the dressing table in usually to the left or right of the bed. And this table includes one full length mirror with a couple of drawers to its side. So it this not aligned to feng shui? Additionally my bedroom is narrow with french windows on on end and wardrobes on the other. In between is the bed and I wanted to place a rectanglular mirror above the headrest so as to make the room appear wider. Is that okay?
    Look forward to your reply.
    Thanks,
    Bhavna

      Hello Bhavna,
      In general, mirrors do not create good Feng Shui in a bedroom because they cause energy to bounce around the room, echoing against their hard surfaces. I would suggest using artwork that has a sense of depth and perspective to create the illusion of width in the room.

      All of this said, however, no change to your current setup is necessary if you are sleeping well at night, have good health and are in a happy relationship. Thank you.
