Some more Vastu tips for using mirrors

If you have an almirah with mirror in your bedroom, then you must know that it should be kept in the west. Also, for those who often ask – can we keep almirah facing south? Yes, it is ideal to place the almirah in the south as it is a heavy object. However, an almirah with mirrors also has an element of water. Thus, Vastu recommends that such almirahs should ideally be positioned on the west walls.

While positioning artistic mirrors in different sections of your house, make sure that you do not install them near the stairs. According to Vastu guidelines, it is highly inauspicious to install a mirror in front of, under or in any position close to the stairs as the reflection will often cut off the feet or head, and this distorted image will further attract negative energy inside the house. Instead, you can ask professionals to design other stylish accessories for the area around the staircase.
