Where to place mirrors
A properly used mirror will trick the eye, making the space brighter and wider. Because mirrors reflect natural light to create depth, openness and highlight the space. So where to place a mirror will bring the highest efficiency?
Entrance to the house
This is the perfect place to hang a beautiful full-length mirror. When you enter the house or before you leave, you can check your appearance in front of the mirror to make sure you look your best.

A mirror placed next to the entrance will reflect the harmonious natural scenery outside, contributing to bringing a comfortable spirit to the person sitting in the room. In addition, the mirror reflects sunlight into the room, making the space brighter.
Bedroom
Placing a full-length mirror in the bedroom brings many benefits and creates an aesthetic highlight for the space. When placed next to the window, the mirror reflects light and creates a brighter and more airy feeling for the room.
A full-length mirror in your bedroom helps you check your outfit and get ready before leaving the house. You can easily style your hair, apply makeup, or choose the right clothes without having to move to another room.
Bathroom
A small, dark bathroom can make the homeowner feel uncomfortable. Adding a large mirror is an easy way to overcome this problem. The mirror’s ability to reflect light will make the bathroom feel more spacious and airy.

The humid environment in the bathroom can easily cause mold on mirrors. Therefore, you should clean their surfaces regularly. At the same time, this also helps increase the light reflection efficiency of the mirror in your bathroom.
Places to avoid placing mirrors
Besides, you should also avoid placing mirrors in the following positions to avoid violating feng shui and causing inconvenience to family life.
Opposite the main door
Avoid placing a full-length mirror facing the main door is a common interior design rule. First, it can cause loss of privacy and comfort by facilitating people from outside to see into the room. On the other hand, when the main door is open, the light from outside will be reflected directly into the mirror, causing discomfort and obscuring your image.
In addition, according to feng shui, the main door is the place to attract wealth into the house. A mirror placed opposite the main door will cause wealth and positive energy to flow out, causing the homeowner to have difficulty in business.
Opposite the bed
Placing a full-length mirror opposite the bed can create feelings of insecurity and affect sleep, especially when you toss and turn or there is reflected light.
Looking in the mirror before going to bed can easily create stress and anxiety about your appearance. Physical flaws can make you feel self-conscious, affecting your relaxation and mental state to fall asleep.

How to clean mirrors
Step 1: Prepare tools including: Soft cloth or clean rag, warm water, white vinegar or special glass cleaning solution.
Step 2: Remove dust and dirt from the mirror surface with a damp cloth. Wipe gently to avoid scratching the surface.
Step 3: Clean deeply with a solution of white vinegar and warm water in a 1:1 ratio, or you can use a specialized cleaning chemical. Soak a little solution on a soft cloth and gently wipe from top to bottom of the mirror surface. Remember to rotate when wiping to avoid scratches.
Step 4: Dry and shine the mirror with a clean dry cloth. If necessary, use a microfiber cloth to make the mirror surface shine even more.
