It’s not easy to imagine a room without a mirror, especially a bedroom.

No wonder - everyone wants to look great, and to see your reflection and evaluate your appearance, outfit, condition, you can’t think of a better place than the bedroom, or rather, the mirror in the bedroom.

It doesn’t matter who owns the house - a woman or a man, you can’t live without a mirror... Women need a mirror to a greater extent than men, because they more often put themselves in order, do makeup, hairstyle, and choose an outfit. You can do all this without a mirror, but it’s difficult.

When planning a room, people are increasingly asking themselves: where is the most logical place to place a mirror?

There are those who do not care at all about the location of the mirror in the room, and there are those who believe that luck and relaxation depend on the correct placement of objects and mirrors.

Especially when it comes to the bedroom.

To find the truly correct answer to a question, it is important to look at how objects are placed, especially mirrors, according to Feng Shui.

Size

It is worth approaching the issue of mirror placement from afar. According to Feng Shui, a mirror in a bedroom can be of any size, without limitation. When choosing, you should take into account the size of the bedroom.

It is not recommended to place a mirror in the room in which a person sleeps, but if it is difficult to imagine such an option, then the mirror in the bedroom should be placed thoughtfully and correctly.

In the reflection above the head, according to teaching, there should be a space that visually pulls a person upward.

If we consider this issue from the spiritual side, then space suggests that a person still has room to grow.

Types of cabinets

Hinged corner wardrobe for the bedroom with a mirror.

Clothes storage solutions of various designs provide quite a wide range of opportunities for implementing original ideas when creating a bedroom design. A wardrobe with built-in mirrors is always a worthy interior decoration (see also the article “A nightstand for the bedroom - features of choice”).

Mirrored cabinet designs can be made in completely different styles, from timeless classics to modern minimalism. Wardrobes with mirrored panels decorated with elegant designs made using Tiffany or fusing techniques will look elegant.

Hinged wardrobe

Swinging wardrobes have long come into use, having earned the honorary title of a true piece of classical furnishings over centuries of use. Today, the furniture industry produces a huge number of variations on the theme of such a wardrobe.

The models differ in external parameters and internal structure:

number of swing doors;
number of stationary shelves;
number of drawers;
volume of compartments for outerwear on hangers;
volume of sections for shoes;
the presence of additional hangers for bags and ties;
presence of compartments for skirts and trousers.

Small swing wardrobe models will be appropriate in not very large modern bedrooms; their corner versions are especially convenient. Taking up not so much space in one corner of the room, their spaciousness will justify the allocation of space for their placement. And choosing the front of such a cabinet with a mirror will help in visually enlarging the room.

Advice. Designers and psychologists advise not to oversaturate the bedroom with the number of mirrors. It is believed that this will interfere with the feeling of spiritual comfort, will cause anxiety and contribute to depression. And according to the ancient teachings of Feng Shui, mirrors should not be placed so that a sleeping person is reflected in them.

A hinged wardrobe is interesting because the mirror can be placed not only on the outside of the door, but also on its inside. The only downside of this version of the classic bedroom wardrobe is that when you open it, the doors take up some space.

Closet

Sliding wardrobe with open shelves for books and decorative items.

An excellent solution for the bedroom would be a built-in wardrobe, which will help you properly manage the available space. Sliding wardrobe doors do not take up much space, and the rational internal arrangement of compartments for clothes will help you place all the necessary things.

The mirror on the doors of such a cabinet can be large, the entire height of a person, or only up to his waist. The mirror is placed on one of the doors, sometimes on all of them.

What are the advantages of equipping a bedroom with a wardrobe:

significant space saving in the room;
comfort when opening and closing , soft rollers roll along the guides silently and smoothly;
saving money, since the walls of the room itself act as one or two, or even three walls in such a cabinet;
saving money , since the ceiling of the room acts as the cabinet lid, and the floor acts as the bottom;
multiple size options , it all depends on your desire, there are no standards;
behind the wardrobe doors it is possible to hide any hangers, shelves, drawers; the filling of the wardrobe depends solely on your choice ;
A mirrored wardrobe in the bedroom can visually expand the space of the room.

Advice. When creating your individual wardrobe, do not forget about open shelves. Many people mistakenly believe that this is a waste of precious space; they try to create a full-fledged compartment instead of open shelves for storing all sorts of trinkets.

But keep in mind that these open shelves will become a convenient place to store small items such as phone chargers, cosmetic bags, and magazines.

Having open shelves will help avoid the need to install an extra bedside table or chest of drawers in the room. And the price of such a wardrobe option with partially open shelves will be less than a similar one, but with completely closed shelves.

Built-in wardrobe in the niche of a small bedroom, made by yourself.

Built-in wardrobes are usually made in suitable niches and are a simplified version of a sliding wardrobe. Installing sliding door structures is not difficult. The instructions included with the kits of such structures are clear and only require basic installation skills.

Another option where the front panel of a wardrobe with a mirror is used is a dressing room, which stands out in the bedroom.

The corner of the bedroom is separated by the front panel of the wardrobe design from the bedroom space.

Mirror shape

A round mirror brings balance to every area of life and is an ideal choice for bedrooms or apartments.

You should not place a corner mirror in the bedroom or an octagonal one, for the reason that it reflects all the negativity.

A round mirror calms energy and is therefore ideal to use in a bedroom. In this way, a person will have complete rest during sleep.

What if the mirror breaks?

If a mirror breaks, then first of all you need to collect every single piece of fragments and wash them in running water.

Thus, all your energy and all your information are washed away from the mirror. After this, you can safely throw away all the fragments.
