Best Way to Feng Shui Your Home Office with Mirrors

Generally, people tend to work in one of the smaller rooms in their home. Unfortunately, there is a risk that chi energy can become too confined in small spaces. Mirrors are a useful way of making the study feel larger than it is. Also they will help to move the energy faster around the room making it a livelier and more yang place to work.

A long, narrow room will feel twice as wide with mirrors along one side. To balance the proportions of an L-shaped room, put up a mirror on one of the walls that form the inside of the L shape.

Mirrors speed up the flow of chi energy in a room making it dynamic and more yang. Hang a large mirror wherever it feels right or where you need more light.

A mirror will help you see the room behind you if you work facing a wall. Hang a mirror in front of you so that you can see as much of the room behind you as possible. Ideally this would include the door to your study and window.

Advantages of mirrors

Mirrors reflect natural light helping to brighten up a dark room. Hang a mirror on a wall that is at 90 degrees and adjacent to the window so that it reflects light into the room.

Stimulating mirrors

Sit in your study and decide whether you would benefit from a mirror. If you want the room to feel livelier and more yang use the information above to find the ideal location for a mirror.

Measure the available space and find an appropriate mirror to hang there. The larger the mirror the more effective it will be. Hang the mirror and make an assessment as to how you feel in the room.

Guidelines:

•  Do not hang mirrors directly facing a door, window or another mirror.
•  Use one large mirror rather than several small mirrors and avoid mirror tiles as they disjoint and fragment the image.
•  The mirror should not be hung so the top of your head is cut off.
•  Always keep mirrors clean.
