A mirror is a significant piece of décor to consider when cultivating feng shui in your home. The ancient Chinese art form promotes sacred placements of interior objects to create a more harmonious flow of energy. Custom mirrors of any kind are especially revered because they can resolve certain issues and improve the balance of your living space. Here are some basic do’s and don’ts to keep in mind.

Do:

Place one in the dining room.

The dining room is easily one of the best areas in the home to hang a custom mirror. Since mirrors naturally double what is before you, it’s thought that the reflection of food or anything else in the space—a beautiful table or a piece of classical artwork, for example—will flood your life with joy as it is magnified. The same principle applies to the living room.

Use them to brighten the dark.

Mirrors are tangibly useful because they bring light and energy into any area of the home. For spaces that are dark, such as hallways or unused rooms, hanging a mirror on the wall is an easy way to introduce some fresh energy and much-needed inspiration.

Don’t:

Hang up incomplete mirrors.

When you’re designing a custom mirror for the home, always think in terms of its entirety. You should avoid hanging up pieces that are fragmented, mosaic shards, or anything that is not “complete.” These mirrors are considered broken up, and that mentality can slowly filter into your conscious and leave you feeling challenged in some way. A sturdy, full mirror is a much better option that provides a sense of wholeness.

Use them in the bedroom.

If possible, avoid hanging any mirrors in the bedroom. The energy that they reflect is simply too powerful to allow you to rest comfortably—and it can also cause an atmospheric disturbance that takes away from the otherwise peaceful and reliable comfort of your room.
