Mirror placement rules
If you fully trust the Chinese practice of feng shui, the mirror in the sleeping room is a highly undesirable accessory. A sleeping person must get rid of the negative acquired during the day - the "qi" energy. It turns out that the mirror in which the sleeping person is reflected is capable of doubling this bad energy, which will have a negative effect on the personality.
According to feng shui in the bedroom, you cannot install mirrored surfaces on the ceiling above the bed itself or on the walls that are located at the foot of the bed. Also, feng shui masters advise against installing mirrors in front of doors or windows. Such placement will repel the positive energy that goes into the room.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/05/kak-vybrat-i-ustanovit-zerkalo-v-spalnyu-46.jpg)
Do not use more than 2 mirrors in the bedroom. If you need an illuminated floor mirror, it is best to choose a product format that leaves an empty area above the person's reflection. This will contribute to his material growth and peace of mind.
Care should be taken to keep your mirrors clean at all times.

A mirror product that is combined with furniture can be called a fairly practical, multifunctional and even universal solution for any direction or style. The model can be presented in the form of a table with drawers or a cabinet with a hanger. These options will allow you to correctly solve the problem of placing a small mirror in the room and do not have a negative effect on Feng Shui.
You can also buy wardrobes in the bedroom with spacious shelves and large mirrors on the doors - but only if they are on the sides of the bed or are installed opposite each other at the entrance to the room and sleeping people are not reflected in them. You can also hang small mirrors over miniature bedside tables.

Signs
The bedroom should not be considered the most ordinary room in the home.Here the owner must rest, gain strength, in a dream he must free himself from negativity, and therefore he is completely open and as vulnerable as possible to evil forces. Many peoples have a belief that dark forces live inside the mirror, that they get out of the mirror surface at night and take all the energy of the owner of the mirror.
Others have a belief that the human soul, during dreams, leaves the body of the owner and begins to wander, and a mirror in the bedroom can prevent it from returning happily back.

Another superstition is that the mirror itself can draw out his beauty from a person, take away health and strength, therefore you cannot admire your double in the mirror for too long, you should not sit with your back to the mirror and you should not even eat in front of him. It is believed that you can not hang a mirror over the matrimonial bed in order to preserve family happiness.

It is worth excluding mirrored objects in a child's room up to a year, otherwise it will have a bad effect on him - the baby will become moody and may stop sleeping peacefully.
It is not worth buying products if they had a lot of owners. Such mirrors accumulate and for many years retain in themselves all the troubles of their former owners, which can seriously damage the new owners.
You can fearlessly put completely new mirrors in the sleeping rooms, but so that they are not reflected in them during rest. A huge product at the head of the bed will look good - it will provide protection, keeping the owner's peace and sleep.
