Mirrors are a common home decoration that is incorporated in the current interior design trend in the recent years. This is because mirrors help to make the whole house look more spacious and visually appealing.

If you intend to install mirrors at home, there are many mirror placements to be taken into consideration. Among these placements, many Feng Shui practitioners have cautioned against hanging a mirror behind a couch.

Have you ever thought of the rationale behind this advice? Here are some of the explanations:

Why Is the Mirror Behind the Couch Considered as Bad Feng Shui?

– To embrace good Feng Shui in our living space, we must always feel safe and secure, so that we can stay in the house comfortably. Hanging heavy objects behind a couch or bed often gives people a feeling of oppression and insecurity. We tends to have unneccessary worries of the objects dropping onto us.  This negative thought will linger in our subconscious mind and cause uneasiness that might affect our health in the long run.

– We all need a solid wall backing behind the important furnitures in our house like a couch, bed, study desk. It symbolize gaining support from benefactors in life. If a mirror is positioned in this location, it will cause the wall to disappear visually. This imply no backing and support from any noblemen.

In conclusion, mirrors can invite in good energy but at the same time, it can also bring in the unfavorable one. We will need to use them sparingly and ensuring the right placement.
