Mirror opposite the front door signs: how to direct the

The mirror in the interior is very often used to visually enlarge the space.

No exception are the hallways. In addition, its presence in the hallway is very convenient, since you can always look at it before going out, and you do not need to walk in the shoes in the shoes.

But the question arises: is it possible to hang it in front of the front door?

Energy and signs

Feng Shui

The answer to this question is not straightforward. Skeptics probably will not care, so this question is asked only by people who care about energy harmony in the house, for which the location of each object is very important. Not for nothing in the teaching of Feng Shui, a separate chapter is devoted to them, because they circulate energy in the house.

They can be placed absolutely in any room, be it a bathroom or a bedroom, and they can have an impact both positive and negative. And what happens if you place it in front of the front door?

And it is strictly forbidden to do this, because according to the teachings of Feng Shui, all energy will leave the house straight at the door. As a result, the home runs the risk of becoming completely devoid of energy, which is a very negative impact on the owners of the house.

For example, a homeowner may feel causeless fatigue and malaise, failures will haunt him. There is a more rational explanation: returning home, a person can simply be afraid of his own reflection.

And some believe that a mirror located in front of the entrance attracts uninvited guests.

Tip! If you have absolutely no other place for the mirror, place it slightly at an angle so that the door does not directly reflect in it. You can hang a mirror on another wall, opposite the cabinet, for example.

Signs

As for the question why it is impossible to hang it in front of the front door, there are various signs.

All of them are similar to those written in the teachings of Feng Shui and are as follows:

• Energy will go out of the house
• The master of the house will be morally and physically exhausted.
• The owner does not want to return home
• Disrupts the flow of positive energy in the house
• The house attracts uninvited guests

Of course, all this is not a rational answer to the question “is it possible to hang it in front of the front door,” but it’s not for nothing that they say signs only exist for those who believe in them. Therefore, it is better for superstitious people to listen and choose another safer place in the hallway.

Yes, and you must admit that it is simply rude to force guests to immediately look in the mirror as soon as they get into your house. This is a personal matter for everyone, so try to come up with a more unobtrusive location for this element of decor.

In any case, the mirror on the front door is much better than before, and from an aesthetic point of view, and energy.

In terms of design

As a design move

As for the fact that it is impossible to place it in front of the front door, you have understood. And if the door itself with him?

Such a phenomenon as a door with a mirror inside appeared relatively recently, and it can rightly be considered a novelty in the domestic market. In this product there are no downsides, on the contrary, solid pluses.

Placing it directly on the canvas, you can solve several problems at once:

• First of all, a small hallway will instantly become more voluminous and bright
• Secondly, the question with him in the hallway will be automatically resolved
• Thirdly, the hallway will get a unique look
• Fourth, instead of the peephole, you can use the camera

As you can see, the front door with a mirror not only does not bring any troubles, but even simplifies life. In small apartments, such a decision would be very appropriate.

The only inconvenience that may occur during installation is the placement of the peephole, but, as it was already written above, you can easily use a camera instead, which is even better and more modern.

They can be decorated in different ways:

• Can darken
• Make it translucent
• Decorate with patterns

In general, what is enough fantasy. For example, stained glass inserts will look very elegant. Many people think that entrance doors with a mirror are very fragile, however, this is a deceptive impression.

They are manufactured in compliance with all the technologies, which ensures complete safety and reliability. The mirror in this case does not harm the canvas itself, but it does not give any strength either. It is just a decorative element placed on the canvas.

Therefore, such visible fragility even plays into the hands of the owner, creating an interesting effect. Yes, and treat it will be more careful, which will undoubtedly prolong the life of the product.

Doors with mirror

Рассмотрим металлические двери. Учение Feng Shui и народные signs a mirror opposite the front door не одобряют. Зачем с ними спорить, если есть масса отличных решений по размещению прямо на двери.

An excellent example is the entrance metal door with a mirror, which I would like to dwell upon.

They have several advantages:

• They fit perfectly in any interior (see Interior doors in the interior)
• Allow to save so necessary space in a hall
• It is convenient and practical.
• It creates a special and unique style of the room.

But then people have a question: will it not fall down if they clap hard? The answer is very simple: it is placed not on the canvas, but directly inserted inside the canvas.

When ordering a finished door, you can specify the following requests:

• Mirror size required
• Its shape
• Additional Coverage

Under the mirror in the inner panel leave the widest cutout. Along the edges of the panel make exclusively technological gap equal to 20 centimeters, which is designed to install handles, locks and other accessories.

Thus, no restrictions on the installation of accessories are not formed. There are also options where the mirror is placed not inside the canvas, but on top of it, and is mounted in the frame.

But for the reliability and this option should not worry, because all the work is performed by specialists, given all the moments at which it could fall. By the way, is placed on a special film, which in case of what will hold the damaged glass.

Self installation

Everything is clear with the finished doors, but what if you wanted a door with a mirror, but there is no money for a new one, and the old one is still good? Only one way out - install yourself.

You can do this as follows:

• First you need to decide on the size. If you want to install the entire length of the door, you need to measure it, plus, you need to consider the location of the eye and other fittings.

Note! Different holes weaken the overall structure of the mirror, so use a camera instead of a peephole.

• Then go to the factory involved in manufacturing. If there is no one nearby, look on the Internet. Find out from them about the possibility of manufacturing to order, and if they provide such services, explain to them exactly what you need, give them your measurements.
• As a rule, these factories do not provide services for the installation itself, although it is they who hang them in elevators. So get ready for the fact that all the work will have to be done independently.
• Purchase the necessary materials in the hardware store. Usually, liquid nails and double-sided tape are enough for these purposes, but you should still consult with the sales assistant who will help you choose the most reliable materials. After all, a full-length mirror weighs a lot, so you need a quality mount.
• Now that you have everything you need, you can proceed with the installation. In principle, it suffices to do with liquid nails, which must be applied to the entire surface, and then attached to the web. Thus, the load will be evenly distributed throughout the web. You can also use clamps for insurance.

Tip! On the back side, the mirror can be pasted over with a film, thus avoiding the scattering of fragments if the glass gives a crack.

Remember that any procedures carried out with the canvas and aimed at changing its appearance immediately make it unattended by the company that provided it to you. That is, if you decide to install it yourself, and it is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, you can assume that there is no guarantee.

Therefore, experiment only in extreme cases, if the appearance of the canvas does not satisfy you, or immediately purchase a canvas with a mirror, which will avoid possible difficulties during the self-installation process, and the quality will be much better.

Thus, it is best to place it directly on the door, and not in front of it. This is not at odds with the eastern teachings of harmony, nor with folk signs, nor with common sense.
