The most auspicious shape of the furniture and décor items according to the Feng Shui way of arranging the space is a Round Shape. In Feng Shui each shape emits a specific energy and has a different meaning. Round Shape is associated with the Feng Shui metal element that also takes on the meaning of coins, change and wealth.

Feng Shui Round Shape belongs to 'Yang' energy, which means that it is very active. That brings us to the wealth which always comes from the movement of energy. For example... coins are round shaped which kept them moving in and out of people's pockets for ages.

If you want to attract Feng Shui energies of wealth and prosperity into your life and surroundings, make sure that you own more round shaped furniture and décor items in your living and working space.

Feng Shui Round Shape is also the most favorable one for peaceful and smooth relationships. To create the most auspicious and prosperous energy in your home and office, try implementing the following Feng Shui tips:

• Round shaped metal accessories and décor items generates more wealth and income according to Feng Shui.

• Round dining or coffee table creates a more peaceful atmosphere for family members and their guests because they encourage conviviality, light conversations and there are no sharp edges to disturb the harmony.

• Round or circular jewelry pieces is also something that Feng Shui suggests for accumulating more wealth and prosperity.

• Round shaped sofas and armchairs are ideal for attracting the harmony, balance and peace between the people that are living together.

FENG SHUI & MIRRORS: in Feng Shui, mirrors are often used for enchanting the energy of the space corner they are in and amplifying the thing they are reflecting while doubling the effect of that same energy. Mirrors are popular Feng Shui energy boosters and they should reflect the energies that we wish to have and attract in our life, living and working space.

• It is crucial to follow what Feng Shui has to say about the mirror design, shape and placements because it makes a huge difference in the energy of every interior space and directly impacts every home or office vibe.

• Placed in the correct way, mirrors create the Feng Shui energy that is highly positive and beneficial for any home or office space. Feng Shui has a different rule on how to place the mirror in each and every room of the home, so it can work for the highest good of everyone living there. Before revealing the best possible Feng Shui locations and ways for a mirror placement, it is important to emphasize once again that mirrors should only reflect the energies that we wish to expand, such as; beautiful views and positive vibrations. Placed in the correct place and reflecting the right type of energy, mirrors will attract positive vibes, abundance, good luck and prosperity into any home or office.

FENG SHUI MIRROR SHAPE: choosing a mirror according to your own style and taste is always a great Feng Shui for the space. However, Feng Shui states that the most auspicious and favorable mirrors are round shaped. Round or oval mirrors don't have the sharp edges which automatically creates smooth and undisturbed Feng Shui energy flow. Round mirrors create the energy that is active and free flowing compared to those square shapes.

• Bigger mirrors that reflect the human body in full length are most often squared, so if you want to own the mirror where you can see yourself fully reflected, you will most probably go for that one. If that's the case, having one square Mirror in your space is totally fine, if all the other mirrors are round shaped. Feng Shui definitely recommends a round or oval shaped Mirror over the square one but that doesn't mean that you can't have at least one of those in your entire home. In the next chapter, you can find out how and where exactly to place the Mirror in your living or working space, to create the most auspicious, positive and beneficial Feng Shui energies.

Feng Shui Mirror Placement for Each & Every Room

• Mirror in the Hallway: Mirrors are often found in the hallways, which is great if they are placed in a proper way. Feng Shui states that any Mirror placed in a hallway shouldn't reflect the entry door, therefore it should be positioned in a way that looks at something entirely different and highly positive, such as a fresh plant. If the Mirror sees the main door, it bounces the energy back to the entrance - the spot where the life energy chi finds its way into the home, which entirely disturbs and messes up the energy flow. Mirrors in the hallway shouldn't also reflect any other room doors, windows or stairs. Position your Mirror in such a way that reflects the energy of abundance, good fortune and prosperity by using Feng Shui Symbols of Wealth or anything else that emits the same vibrations in the space.

• Mirror in the Bedroom: Feng Shui points out the fact that Mirrors have a very active energy and that's the reason why it is not the best choice to have them in the bedrooms because they easily disturb the rest and sleep. Still, very often people keep them there and in that case, it is highly recommended to avoid placing the Mirror in such a way that reflects the door, windows or directly looks at the person sleeping in the bed because of its tendency to boost the energy. The most appropriate way to have your Mirror in the bedroom is to keep it far away from the bed while reflecting something positive and beautiful such as an art or flowers.

• Mirror in the Bathroom: Mirrors are a very common thing and necessity in the bathrooms but placing them in the correct way creates a huge difference in your bathroom space, as Feng Shui states. The best Feng Shui way for having your Mirror in the bathroom is in the way that it doesn't reflect the bathroom door, window or a toilet seat. The perfect reflection in your bathroom Mirror would be stalks of the Lucky Bamboo or anything else that represents the energies of good luck, prosperity and abundance in Feng Shui. Mirrors have a natural way of doubling and expanding the energy they see, so make sure that you put in front of your bathroom Mirror only the type of energies that you would like to increase.

• Mirror in the Living Room: having a Mirror in the living room is one of the best locations in Feng Shui because the energy of the living room is already a lively place where the family members and guests gather together, so Mirrors just add up to that. Mirror creates a very active energy, so it's not the greatest choice for the rooms that are made for resting or sleeping but in living rooms they work perfectly well. Just avoid having them in a way so they see the door or window reflected back to them. To have a Mirror in the living room that sees something beautiful such as a wall painting, art, statue or a plant is the best choice in this case.

• Mirror in the Kitchen and Dining Room: Mirrors are not a very popular thing in the kitchens according to Feng Shui. It would be ideal to have them placed in the dining room area because the dining table represents family wealth, fortune and abundance in Feng Shui. Having your Mirror positioned to directly reflect the dining table is a great way for attracting even more prosperity and wealth towards your family and home. For even better effect, always keep at your dining table a bowl of fresh fruits or lemons which are well known Feng Shui symbols of prosperity.

• Mirror in the Kids Room and Nursery: Feng Shui advises having a Mirror in the kids room or nursery but only if it doesn't reflect the room door, window, baby crib or a kids bed. In a nursery room, Feng Shui suggests having a Mirror placed in a way that reflects some inspiring art or beautiful images. For the kids room, Mirrors are a favorable thing because they inspire children's creativity and could also boost their confidence levels together with self esteem. Always make sure that Mirror sees and emits the energy of the thing that would be highly positive and complimentary for the kid. However, smaller Mirrors would be a better choice since you don't want to boost the energy of the room too much and disturb the sleep of the child.

• Mirror in the Office: Mirrors can attract and increase the energies of success, wealth and prosperity into your career if positioned in the right Feng Shui way and that is not seeing the office door or window being reflected back to them. Another inappropriate way of having a Mirror in the office is by placing it in a way that it directly sees the person sitting and working behind the office desk. The best possible Feng Shui location for the Mirror in the working space is far away from the desk, reflecting one of the Feng Shui Symbols of Wealth by increasing its natural energies that the item already embodies. This is the best way for improving the Feng Shui energy around the professional life of the person that is working there.
