Mirror is a very important element to be considered while analysing the Vastu compliance of any space. It could be a full-length dressing mirror, a vanity mirror, or simply mirror work used for decorative purposes. Mirror is required & used almost in every space, be it a big multinational office, restaurants, hotels, houses etc. It is extremely essential that the direction or placement of mirror, its size & shape is decided as per Vastu Shastra. This is because, a mirror placed in a wrong direction, could impact the Vastu of that place. Let us know more!
Mirror, in any form, shape or size represents water element (out of the five elements). Thus, it must be placed in the directions which are favourable for water element i.e., North & East directions. The directions which are not favourable for water element, like fire related South East direction, must be avoided for placing big mirrors.
Vaastu Shastra recommends having Mirrors in your space in North & East directions of your space primarily. Having big sized open mirrors from South East to South West directions of the space is strongly discouraged.
It is important to note that, when we mention about directions, it is calculated from the centre of the house and not from the centre of the room. For example – It is irrelevant to say that “Mirror is not advisable on the South wall of the bedroom”. What really matters is “The mirror should not be placed in the South direction of the house”.
Practically, we may need mirrors, as a basic requirement for dressing room or toilets in almost every direction. Here we cannot abide by the Vastu guideline for having mirror only in North or East directions. Thus, we can place the mirrors with Vastu Balancing or Vastu Treatments i.e
These methods nullify the negative effects of mirrors in wrong direction, but must be used in consultation with a professional Vastu consultant only.
Mirrors are many a times used as a Vastu remedy, because of their natural attribute of reflection. In irregular shaped apartments, or in case a direction has a cut-out or shaft, mirrors are used to act as a reflection of the space and cover up for the cut-out.
However, this is extremely sensitive and must not be even tried without professional Vastu guidance on mirrors. The direction, size, shape etc. of the mirrors need to be calculated very precisely before using mirrors for space extensions.
Placing mirrors in compliance with Vastu Shastra ensures that the elemental balance in the space is duly maintained. It avoids any disturbed Vastu energies in the space.
If for example, a mirror is placed in the wrong direction, like South or South-East direction, it will disturb the fire element of the space which in turn may cause losses, accidents or burglary.
If the mirror is placed in any low energy direction, especially on the peripheral wall, it may amplify the low energy of those directions, which in any case may prove to be harmful.
