 Full wall mirrors should be high enough so that they do not seem to “cut” into the head of anyone, or cut off their feet, so it is best that they start from floor level.

 The wall mirror should ideally reflect an auspicious space, so it should not reflect a toilet, a staircase, a kitchen stove, or oven, and most importantly it should not directly reflect the main door, as this creates an immediate outflow of the fresh chi energy that has only just entered the home. If you have installed such a mirror, then place something between the mirror wall and the door so that you force the chi to linger and be diverted.

 It is best not to install mirrors anywhere in the bedroom, especially when it reflects the bed directly. This is a serious affliction and will create sleepless nights at best and severe problems between the couple sleeping on the bed at worst. If you have to have a mirror in the bedroom, never have it facing the bed, and cover it at night.

 Mirrors are excellent in the dining room as they symbolically double the food at the table. However do not have a mirror reflecting the kitchen stove, as this accentuates the Fire Element and has the effect of bringing about accidents for the residents.

 Mirrors are preferable to mirror tiles, but if you do use tiles, make sure that they do not cause any degree of distortion.

 Mirrors directly above a fireplace are a good feature as long as the mirror is not reflecting the door. In small spaces such as narrow foyer areas, hallways, or small corners, mirrors are excellent conductors of chi. Also, a mirror on the wall is excellent for breaking the monotony of a long narrow corridor, and for slowing chi.

Mirror tiles should be large and not cause distortion. Healthy plants reflected in the mirror symbolically double the auspicious chi from the plant.
