Où placer les miroirs selon le feng shui?

Les règles du recueil disent où un miroir ne doit pas faire face plus qu’où l’accrocher, et un miroir à côté d’une porte ou d’un siège, elles le laissent tranquille. Le seul endroit où l’école met un miroir exprès, c’est à côté d’un écran, quand un bureau tourne le dos à la porte : la position du bureau.

Un miroir dans la chambre, est-ce du mauvais feng shui?

Pas en soi. Le souci, c’est le lit : un miroir qui montre le lit depuis l’oreiller est celui que l’école des Formes place au premier rang des constats d’une chambre. À l’intérieur d’une porte de garde-robe, ou sur le mur de la tête de lit, un miroir de chambre échappe à cette règle. Un miroir face au lit →

Où mettre un miroir pleine longueur?

À côté d’une embrasure, sur le même mur que la porte, ou à l’intérieur d’une porte de garde-robe, là où il regarde vers la pièce et non vers le lit. Évitez le mur juste en face de la porte d’entrée et celui en face de la porte de la salle de bain.

Où placer le miroir dans une salle de bain?

Au-dessus du lavabo, tant que la glace ne fait pas face à la porte. Le feng shui ne s’inquiète que du miroir qui vous fait face quand vous poussez la porte; pour celui-là, gardez la porte fermée, et déplacez le miroir sur un mur latéral à la prochaine rénovation de la pièce.

Que dit le feng shui d’un miroir cassé?

Le feng shui lit tout objet brisé comme le signe de choses qui tournent mal, et un miroir fêlé plus que tout, si bien qu’il n’en garde aucun en vue. Sa réponse est simple : remplacez la glace, ou décrochez le miroir. Les objets brisés dans le recueil →

Where should a mirror go in feng shui, and where should it not?

Form SchoolEvery room7 min readUpdated Sep 29, 2026

THE SHORT ANSWER

Hang a mirror to the side of a door or a seat, not straight across from it, and out of the bed’s view. The Form School and the tradition agree that a mirror sends back what faces it: across from a door it turns chi away, across from a seat or a bed it keeps the room from settling.

Why feng shui cares what a mirror faces

The school reads a mirror by what it faces, because a mirror sends back whatever stands before it. The tradition and the school keep one habit in every room: a mirror goes to the side of a door or a seat, not face-on, and it is kept hidden rather than put on show.

Facing the bed. The Form School ranks it first among bedroom findings: a mirror that holds the bed keeps the room from ever being still. Mirror facing the bed →

Across from the front door. The door is where chi first arrives, and the school holds that a mirror opposite sends it straight back out. Mirror facing the front door →

Facing the bathroom door. Push the door open and the glass meets you. The tradition reads a mirror facing any door as sending chi back, and in a bathroom it sends the stale air back into the house; many people also find that flash of their own reflection quietly unsettling. Mirror facing the bathroom door →

Facing a room door or a seat. This is the rule that runs through every room. Across from a door, a mirror sends chi back out; across from the sofa, a desk chair or any seat someone uses for hours, it keeps that person a little on alert.

SCHOOL CONSENSUS · HOW IT COMES INDOORSThe school carries one idea through every mirror rule: a mirror sends back whatever stands in front of it, so what matters is what stands there. Hung to the side, it takes in the room without facing a door, a bed or a chair.

THE RULEMirror facing a door or a seatSchool consensusCommon practice

What to look for around the home

Walk the home and stop at four places: the front door as you come in, the bathroom door as you push it open, the bed as you lie down, and the chair you sit in longest. At each, look straight ahead. A large mirror you meet face-on at any of them is one to move; a mirror you only see from the side can stay where it is.

AS IT IS

AFTER THE FIX

From above. As it is, the long mirror hangs across from the sofa, so whoever sits there faces their own reflection. Rehung on the side wall, it is seen at an angle from the seat and from the doorway, and faces neither.

How to fix it, in order

Rehang the mirror on a side wall, at an angle to the seat

This is the fix for most living rooms and hallways. Sit where you usually sit, then stand in each doorway: wherever the mirror shows you face-on, it is on the wrong wall. A wall at right angles to the seat and the door lets it take in the room without facing either.

Stand a full-length mirror beside a doorway, not across from it

A floor mirror is the easiest mirror to place well. Leaned on the wall next to a door frame, it faces into the room and never the door. Before you settle it, sit on the bed and on the sofa; if either shows in the glass, turn it a little until it does not. Anchor it with a strap so it cannot tip.

Keep the bathroom door closed

A mirror over the sink is often fixed where it is, and in many bathrooms it faces the door. The rule’s first answer is to keep the door shut, so that what the glass faces is a closed door rather than the rest of the home.

Cover a fixed mirror with a plain cloth when it is not in use

Mirrored wardrobe doors in a hallway, a mirror built into a wall unit: some glass cannot move. The rule for doors and seats allows a plain cotton-linen cloth over it whenever it is not in use, lifted when you need it.

If you own the place: the bathroom mirror is the one to plan: when the vanity is redone, set the mirror on a wall that does not face the door, and move its light with it. It is optional; the closed door does most of what the rule asks.

Questions people ask

Where should mirrors be placed for good luck?

The rulebook’s mirror rules say where a mirror should not face more than where it should hang, and a mirror to the side of a door or a seat is one they leave alone. The one spot the school picks for a mirror on purpose is beside a monitor, when a desk has its back to the door: desk placement.

Is it bad feng shui to have a mirror in the bedroom?

Not in itself. The concern is the bed: a mirror that shows the bed from where you lie is the one the Form School ranks first among bedroom findings. Inside a wardrobe door, or on the wall at the head of the bed, a bedroom mirror sits outside that rule. Mirror facing the bed →

Where should a full-length mirror go?

Beside a doorway, on the same wall as the door, or on the inside of a closet door, where it faces into the room and away from the bed. Keep it off the wall straight across from the front door and from the bathroom door.

Where should the mirror go in a bathroom?

Over the sink, as long as the glass does not face the door. Feng shui minds only the mirror that meets you as you push the door open; for that one, keep the door closed, and move the mirror to a side wall when the room is next redone.

What does feng shui say about a broken mirror?

Feng shui reads anything broken as a sign of things going wrong, and a cracked mirror most of all, so it keeps none on show. Its answer is plain: replace the glass, or take the mirror down. Broken things in the rulebook →
