As per Mahha Guru – Gauravv Mittal, Mirror is an important Vastu element which is capable of affecting the positive and negative nature of energy of the place where the mirrors are placed. Vastu Shastra identifies mirrors with capacity to stagnate energy. Therefore if it’s done correctly, the power of mirrors symbolically double your wealth, health and happiness; remember a wrong mirror placement can do a lot of harm. Mirror positions could also ensure happy married life and positive interaction with children.

Mirrors are best placed in the living and dining areas. Anything your mirror reflects it will double. Mirror reflecting the food on dining table doubles the food which symbolizes abundance and wealth. Just make sure the mirror does not reflect the entrance or any other door and window.
-
Keep mirror and reflective glass objects clean at all times; always make sure that mirror shows a clear picture or reflection of anyone standing in front. Avoid keeping broken, rusted, soiled, dirty, unusable, antique mirrors at home.
-
Mirrors in the Room/bathroom should be on east or north walls.

Go for square or rectangular shaped mirror, they are considered best; don’t buy oval, round or other irregular shaped mirrors.

MahhaGuru suggests that a mirror should never reflect the following:
-
Doors and windows: Mirrors should not face the main gate as they reflect the energy entering the residence.
-
Bed: Mirrors should be avoided in bedrooms since they affect peaceful sleep. Your image on the mirrors should not be visible from your sleeping position. Mirror could be bouncing energy in the bedroom, and keeping you awake, restless and full of worries. Avoid mirror next to the bed or on the wall above the bed. If you can see your reflection in the mirror while lying down on the bed it will bring a third person in your relationship.
-
Another mirror/computer screen: Mirrors should not be placed opposite each other. Vastu Shastra warns that such placement would encourage restlessness.
-
Mirrors should not face North or East according to House Vastu. Mirrors reflect away the positive energy entering the Premises.
-
Don’t put the mirrors on South wall; it will make children stubborn and arrogant.
-
Toilet seat: It is not advisable to have mirrors in the bathroom. However if you feel it’s necessary, Keep it covered. The mirror should never reflect the toilet seat/WC. Mirrors in the bathroom should be sufficiently lighted and never kept in the dark.
-
Flames in the kitchens: Don’t have mirror tiled kitchen that will reflect the flames. Mirror symbolizes water. And water clashes with fire. So it is best to keep mirrors out of kitchen.
-
Cluttered items/ Dirty drains or other unpleasant views/ pointed arrows or sharp corners of furniture or walls: Make sure the mirror is not reflecting dirty drains, or pile of clutter or sharp edges of walls or furniture. If the wall mirror also reflect pleasant views from outdoors either a river or healthy growing plants or rolling hills – that suggest a vast expanse of pure energy. Views of trees bring in growth energy while views of scenic mountains bring great relationship.
-
Mirrors should not be kept near the stairs as per house Vastu: A mirror placed at the bottom of the stairs will cut off the feet or head; avoid placing here.
-
Distorted or unclear image of yours/ Body of the tallest member with his head cut off: If the mirror reflects your image without your head then it impacts your self-esteem. You must place your mirror at a height where you don’t have to bend to see your image in the mirror.
-
Don’t put the mirror in South wall: The south corner has fire energy. And the mirror has water energy. So placing mirror on the south extinguishes the fire energy in your home or living room. This will extinguish the fame luck of the south corner and bring a bad name to you. Also it might give heated arguments or accidents or bad luck due to the clash of fire and water.
- Avoid transparent glass window panes and doors; keep them translucent.
- Avoid using unframed mirror.
- No mirror behind sofa or bed.
- Kids lose concentration in studies if there’s a mirror near study table; hence avoid it.
- A mirror on West wall in kid’s bedroom keeps them busy in influencing opposite gender people; hence avoid this too.
- Avoid mirrored tiles and ceilings as they’ll distort your image.
