When decorating the interior of an apartment or house, you should not rely only on the Eastern teaching of Feng Shui.
However, when it comes to mirrors, not only Eastern mysticism comes to mind, but also folk signs. Here's what designers think about Feng Shui and a mirror opposite the front door.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told whether it is possible to hang a mirror opposite the entrance door.
People who live according to Feng Shui try not to hang a mirror opposite the door, either in the hallway or in the living room.
The reason is that this way the vital energy will not enter the house. Speaking about the most earthly, you can hear that when entering the house and meeting your reflection opposite, you can experience some discomfort.
However, you can’t do without a mirror in the hallway either.
How to solve the problem
1. If it is not possible to rehang the mirror, you can put a houseplant in front of it. This will help get rid of unpleasant sensations and protect incoming "energies".
2. If even in this case the anxiety does not go away, you can hang a mirror on the front door. This is an original technique and a way to visually expand the space.
3. If you are bothered by the lack of a peephole because of a hanging mirror, it makes sense to hang the mirror on the wall perpendicular to the door.
4. The ideal option is to install a wardrobe with a mirrored door, which can be closed and hidden if necessary.
Otherwise, you need to be guided by your personal feelings, and not by Eastern mysticism.
