Since energy drains out of the bathroom, it is seen in Feng Shui as a source of negative energy or Chi leaks. The Feng Shui symbol for “wealth and energy” is water. As such, the purpose of placing a mirror in the bathroom should be to balance the energy, not to disturb it further. Therefore, the location, size, direction, and reflection of the mirror are considered very important in Feng Shui. (Image: AI-Generated)

Above the Wash Basin: This is the most common and correct location. According to Feng Shui, using a mirror when you wash your face or get ready is practical as well as maintains the center of energy. It also increases self-awareness and positively starts the day. (Image: AI-Generated)
East or North Wall: According to Feng Shui, placing a mirror in the east and north direction keeps the energy stable and gentle. These directions are associated with health (east) and career/water element (north). (Image: AI-Generated)

Reflection of the Toilet: If the toilet seat is visible from the mirror, it is considered very inauspicious in Feng Shui. This indicates that you are constantly pulling negative energy or dirt towards you. (Image: AI-Generated)
Right in Front of the Bathroom Door: When the mirror is placed in front of the door, the positive energy (chi) coming from outside, as soon as the door opens, hits the mirror and gets reflected. This can cause the energy of the bathroom to have a negative impact instead of spreading throughout the house. (Image: AI-Generated)
Mirror Tilted Towards the Ceiling or the Ground: Mirrors placed on the ceiling or tilted downwards indicate mental imbalance and dissipation of energy. A person may become more unstable and stressed as a result of this circumstance. (Image: AI-Generated)
Type and Shape of the Mirror: Round/Oval Mirror – According to Feng Shui, these are the most auspicious. They reflect energy with gentleness and balance. (Image: AI-Generated)
Broken or Blurred Mirror – The reflection from such a mirror is distorted, which can lead to mental confusion, self-doubt, and negativity. (Image: AI-Generated)
Framed Mirror – A beautiful frame of wood or metal controls the energy and provides stability to the mirror. (Image: AI-Generated)
