FENG SHUI TIPS
Mirrors in homes
Mirrors are often referred to as the “asprin” of Feng Shui. They are powerful and can energise a room effectively. Ideally, mirrors should be framed. However, if you really want to hang unframed mirrors, then please choose ones that have bevelled edges. While choosing mirrors one should keep in mind that the mirror should be clear, of good quality and new (do not buy antique mirrors).
