Do not place the mirror opposite the door or window
Mirrors have the ability to reflect light and images, so if placed opposite doors or windows, strong light from outside can be reflected back into the living space. This can easily cause glare, discomfort and reduce privacy in the house.
In addition, seeing continuous reflected movements from the outside can also make people in the house lose focus or feel insecure. In the bathroom, installing mirrors is necessary, but doors should be arranged in a different direction to limit direct reflected light.
Avoid placing mirrors opposite the bed
Mirrors reflect light and movement, so when placed opposite or near the bed, they can cause dizziness, especially at night when there is light or weak light. Some people are easily startled when they accidentally see the reflected image, thereby affecting sleep quality. To ensure a quiet resting space, mirrors should be placed in an off-sights position when lying down or installed inside the wardrobe door.
Do not let mirrors reflect the kitchen area or faucet
In the kitchen area, mirrors can increase the feeling of disorder due to reflecting many objects, fire or lights. This not only causes dizziness but also makes the space hotter and more visually cramped.
Similarly, when placing a mirror opposite the faucet or sink, water stains and stains are easily duplicated, making this area look less clean if not cleaned regularly.
Avoid placing mirrors directly against the desk
Mirrors placed opposite the desk will continuously reflect the image of the person sitting, moving around, or objects on the table. This can easily cause distractions, reduce concentration, and reduce work efficiency. For study or work spaces that require high concentration, limit placing mirrors in direct view.
Mirrors should be placed in positions that help increase natural light or support usage needs (spotting, makeup) without causing glare, without directly reflecting into main living areas such as beds or desks.
