If you want to make your home Vastu-compliant, you should be cautious about where you are placing your mirrors in your home, as mirrors are a source of positive as well as negative energy.

Mirrors do not just have a functional or decorative value; they also serve as an excellent tool to create an illusion that can make a space appear larger. But according to Vastu, mirrors have another functionality—if you place them correctly, mirrors can significantly alter the energy of a home. Mirrors possess the power to attract positive energies and deflect negative energies. When placed correctly, mirrors can revert Vastu flaws. Follow this guide to learn more!

Shapes do matter.

In Vastu Shastra, rectangular and square shapes are preferred as they are best for spreading energies evenly. Circle and oval mirrors are not considered ideal for spreading positive energies and should be avoided. But there are no rules and restrictions regarding the size of the mirror that you want to use. Only remember to avoid mirrors in irregular shapes.

Keep your mirrors spotless.

Regardless of where you place a mirror, you need to ensure that it is kept absolutely spotless and clean. It is best to avoid sticking anything on the reflective surface of the mirror, like bindis or stickers.

The reflection should determine the position of your mirror.

According to Vastu Shastra, reflection matters. If you have a window with an excellent view outside, then you should place a mirror opposite that window. This trick will help replicate the beauty and the positive energy of the view and fill your space with it. If an item or object in the house feels negative, place a mirror right in front of it to make sure that it sucks the negative energies out of it. Also, remember not to place a mirror or any shining object in front of the main door.

Mirror placement in the bathroom

In your bathroom, the mirror should be placed in a well-lit part. Do not place it against the lights as it may reduce visibility. Ideally, the mirror should be placed on the eastern or northern wall of the bathroom. You can also opt for a full-length mirror installed on the door, but it must be carefully affixed. Avoid placing the mirror opposite the toilet as it can increase negativity. Keep the mirror free of stains because dirt attracts negativity.

Mirror placement in the bedroom

Your master bedroom should ideally be in the southwest or south direction - dominated by the earth elements. But on the other hand, a mirror is a water element and is often associated with instability. According to Vastu, you should not place a mirror in this room as it can tamper with the energies and create chaos.
