How to place a mirror in the bedroom?

The role of the reflective surface largely depends on where it will be located.

In order not to consider the controversial opinions of all people, we highlight the most common taboos:

Mirror above the bed in the bedroom

It should be said right away that it is not recommended to hang a reflective surface on the ceiling above the bed, but above the headboard it is an excellent solution. There are some tips on how to hang a mirror in the bedroom correctly and where:

1. The classic technique is to place one large canvas in the center of the headboard. A beautiful frame is of great importance here. The color of the frame can be matched to the bed or other furniture. Such a mirror can merge with the situation or stand out from the general space. A universal solution is a canvas in a metal frame.



2. A great solution is a mirror collage, and it is suitable for a large room. Both the same and different mirrors can be used. They are placed both absolutely symmetrically and randomly. You can create a «mirror scattering» of a large number of small mirrors.



3. For luxurious interiors, a mirrored wall is suitable, which can drastically change the space. It can be a solid canvas or a mirror tile.

Mirror opposite the window in the bedroom

Many people think that the best place to place a mirrored surface in a room is in front of a window, as it will reflect the daylight, filling the room with it. According to Feng Shui, a mirror in the bedroom opposite the window is an undesirable object, since positive energy enters the window openings, as well as the door, which will be reflected and come back out. Mirror sheets can be placed next to the window on the side walls.
