Mirrors are wonderful as both functional and decorative things hanging in your home.  Mirrors are more than just items you use to get dressed for work.  They have the ability to add depth and light anywhere you need.  They are ideal when you need to make a totally small space feel bigger.  Mirrors are also important when it comes to Feng Shui in your house.  In Feng Shui, mirror placement is used to move, attract, and change the flow of energy in your area.

In Feng Shui, you use mirrors to correct any problem you are having in your house.  There are extremely specific do’s and don’ts when it comes to positioning them.  To bring positive change in your energy flow, it is good to hang a mirror reflecting something lovely.  For instance, you can place a mirror across from a beautiful piece of art.  This is to help bring more of this beautiful energy into your home.  The best places to hang mirrors for ideal Feng Shui are the east corner for health and family, the southeast area for wealth and abundance, and the north side for career and life path.

You don’t want mirrors to show a door or window.  This is said to cause outside energy to come in and circulate around your house.  You also do not want to hang two mirrors facing each other.  This will make energy stuck and unable to flow freely.  It will only produce restlessness in your environment.  You also should never use broken, unclean, or unframed mirrors.  Also avoid hanging mirrors across from your bed or in the south side of your house.

As long as your oval wall mirrors are framed, look and size will not matter much.  You can go with whatever looks ideal to match your house’s décor.  There are a number of choices such as vintage mirrors, black or round white mirrors, or modern sleek mirrors.  Convex mirrors and bagua mirrors are often talked about in Feng Shui.  Convex mirrors are used as a watchful eye.  They deflect bad and fast moving energy that comes from the outside of your place.  Bagua mirrors are to be used outdoors only.  They are used to deflect bad, harmful energies from entering your house.

Feng Shui can be a fun and interesting way to bring positive energy in and decorate your home.  By hanging mirrors in strategic positions, they can be both useful and functional.  They are ideal for getting more light into a dark area, as well as for getting dressed. The ideal mirror placement brings a nice energy into your home and life.  You can find a wide selection of mirrors online, at any home décor boutique, or even at your local big box retail store.
