You can place a mirror above a slim console table to brighten up a dark entryway.

One easy change you can make is to place a rectangular mirror horizontally above the couch.

A mirror is a magic trick for making any space appear larger and more spacious. For instance, you might put a horizontal mirror above the couch to brighten your living room.

Question

I am trying to go with a minimalist decor. Will hanging mirrors instead of pictures detract from this style?

Community Answer

I wouldn't go with all mirrors instead of pictures. Go for one big mirror with several smaller pictures that together would take up the same amount of wall space as the mirror. I would also hang them on a wall opposite the mirror or on an adjacent wall (not on the same wall as the mirror).

Question

If the space is small and if I hang a mirror in the front door of the dining room and the living area is reflecting is that good in feng shui?

The best place for a mirror is any wall that will reflect light into the room. If there is no window, choose the wall that can accommodate the size of the mirror.

I have an army officer sword, where is the best place to hang it on the wall in a house? I am living in HDB flat.

Community Answer

I suggest a mantle over a fireplace or on a plaque. Beware if it falls off during an earthquake.
