Mirrors in different styles of interior

The choice of the shape and frame of the reflective surface for the hallway depends on the style of the interior.

Baroque

The mirror should be massive, oval-shaped, with a frame decorated with intricate ornate ornaments. The pattern on the frame must be associated with mythology or vegetation. If the reflecting element of the interior is on the floor, then it must have bent legs in bronze.

Feng Shui Mirror Location

According to the Chinese sages, the flows of positive energy, which is called Qi, enter the house through the front door and hallway. So that they do not leave this dwelling, and spread through all the rooms, you should create a favorable environment in the hallway: widen the passage, install bright lights, hang amulets and put the mirror correctly.

Since ancient times, the mirror was considered a mystical object in many cultures. He pays great attention to the teachings of Feng Shui. Competent placement of reflective elements in the home will not allow the spread of negative energy produced by people who envy or hate any family member.

Opposite the door or window

For feng shui to have a mirror in the hallway opposite the front door is considered a very unfortunate option. Positive energy, getting into the apartment and, being reflected, goes back out the door. In such a situation, quarrels can start at home, mood can deteriorate with its inhabitants, and their well-being may deteriorate.

Even if you do not take into account the principles of Feng Shui, a mirror installed in front of the door will create an unpleasant impression, annoying. But hang a reflecting element on the inside of the door - a good idea.

If the corridor is small and the wall opposite the door is located at a distance of just a couple of meters, then Qi energy will not be able to get into the territory of the rest of the house. It will rest against the wall and stop half way. In such a situation, in front of the door you still have to install a mirror surface. It is necessary to arrange it so that it reflects not the front door, but, for example, the talisman music of the wind, hung over the door. Installing a reflective element in front of the window is also not recommended. All the well-being and success will leave this house through the window.

Perpendicular to the door

An ideal place to place a mirror in Feng Shui is a wall located perpendicular to the wall with an entrance door.

It is desirable that the reflective surface was large, full-length person. So at home there will be wealth, and working family members will expect career growth. Otherwise, parts of the body that are not reflected may be sore.

What should be located opposite the mirror

It is believed that reflective objects are doubled. Therefore, in front of the mirror, it is recommended to weigh or place beautiful objects that carry a positive charge:

1. Paintings: works of art of great artists, their reproductions or simply nice looking landscapes;
2. Family photos that capture the happy moments of life;
3. Pots with live plants, beautiful fragrant flowers - a reflection of nature creates a favorable atmosphere in the apartment;
4. Talismans - if at home there is not enough love, luck or money, you can purchase the appropriate talisman and hang it in front of the mirror.

Chinese sages categorically do not recommend positioning mirrors opposite each other. The resulting mirror corridor will create an outflow of positive energy.

Professional Tips

Before you hang a mirror in the hallway, you should familiarize yourself with the advice of Feng Shui professionals:

1. The mystical reflective object must be cleaned regularly so that it does not distort the reflection of positive energy. Dirt and stains can cause disease. For the same reason it is not recommended to purchase mirrors with inscriptions or engravings.
2. You can not keep at home broken items, especially mirrors. The presence of the slightest defect (chip or scratch) - a reason to throw it.
3. You can not keep at home mirrors that previously belonged to someone. The reflecting object carries the energy of its former owners, it may be negative.

When decorating the interior of the corridor in a classic style, it is not necessary to install a genuine antique mirror. To avoid the appearance in the house of someone else's energy can buy a completely new reflecting object, artificially aged or framed with a real old frame.

Thinking through the design of the hallway with reflective objects you need to show a sense of proportion. You should not turn the room into the looking glass, this situation will quickly tire, it will only cause confusion and negative emotions of others. The mirror should be an ornament, contribute to the creation of a refined interior. Installing a mirror in the hallway of Feng Shui will bring good luck and well-being into the house.
