Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 17, 2003 Staff Share Posted May 17, 2003 Dear Anon,1. Often, it is preferred not to have a mirror facing an open window or at the side of an open window - (based on "commonsense" approach to Feng Shui.2. The main reason is "reflected light". Often, an external light source may inadvertenly shine into the home and is `captured' by say the mirror. If the light intensity is high, it may reflect `glare'. If we are `unfortunate' enough, we may be sitting down with the direct glare into our eyes and it feels so, uncomfortable.3. Especially so, if there are shiny objects such as the profile of a vehicle. Light from it's body panel or windows may provide such a `glare'.4. If you are confident that either reflected light or direct sunlight does not cause such a situation, then, overall, I personally find that there is not an issue. 5. The other issue, may of course be rain. And rain may seep into the back of the mirror and in the long term, causing the shiny particles to peel.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 5/15/2003 7:42:13 AM, Anonymous wrote:Hi Cecil,I am planning to hang a mirroracross from my patio door thatdoesn't have a windowtreatment.
