is it bad feng shui to place mirrors in the bedroom?
Question: I read somewhere that it is not good Feng Shui to place mirrors in the Love and Marriage area of a home or bedroom. Is this correct?
The reason I ask is because I want to purchase two matching bedside tables and it just so happens that these have antique mirror tops.
One of the tables would go into the Love & Marriage area of the bedroom. I donβt want to make a mistake that Iβll later regret.
Please advise.

Cheryl: Thank-you for your question. In Feng Shui, the Love and Marriage area of the Bagua reflect the earth element which translates in soft, nurturing, love and Mother Earth energy.
Mirrors in Feng Shui (depending on who you ask) represent the water element and therefore, when placed in the earth element of the Love and Marriage area will tend to water-log the element of earth and thus, decreasing its effect.
In this area, you would want to increase the element of earth and reflect love in your life with symbols that reflect your current or desired relationship. In addition, mirrors in the bedroom activate energy and have been known to cause disruptive sleep patterns.
I recommend going with another set of bedside tables without the mirrors. You can also purchase the bedside tables and simply remove the mirrors. Also, remember to check to see if your bedside tables have soft rounded corners (sharp corners cause agitation energy and can be harmful if you bump up against them) and most importantly, that you absolutely LOVE them.
