Mirror Placement Check

The principle

Start with what you see.

Judge the reflection from the place you actually sit, stand or sleep. A bright reflection or movement in your peripheral vision may distract you; an unobtrusive reflection may be useful. Direct sunlight deserves a glare check. Secure mounting matters more than a symbolic placement rule.

The feng shui perspective

Some feng shui traditions avoid mirrors opposite beds or entrances. This is a traditional preference, not evidence that a reflection causes bad luck or sleep problems. Keep a mirror that works for you when the reflection is comfortable and the mounting is suitable.

Limits and sources

Check the real room.

The diagram illustrates your reported reflection. It does not calculate reflection angles, sunlight paths or a new mounting location. A proposed plain-wall reflection must be verified in the real room. Follow the mirror and fixing manufacturers' instructions.

Optional compass bearings label the sketch only. They do not calculate favorable directions, Eight Mansions or Flying Stars.
