A mirror can expand a small, cramped entry and make it look and feel larger.
Or a well-placed mirror (even in the entry) can invite elemental energies with a reflection of nature.
From this perspective, a mirror facing the front door summons rather than pushes away.
So, where does that leave you?
Is a mirror facing the front door bad feng shui?

Do not remain shrouded in doubt.
It doesnt matter if one school says this or another school says that.
Pay attention to and honor your feelings.
If you care for your home with mindfulness and love, it will nurture and love you back.
There are countless ways to usemirrors to create good feng shui.
And not everything needs to be a feng shui correction.
If you like it, you’ve got the option to relocate it elsewhere.
Feel free to offer it to a loved one or donate it if it’s no longer needed.
Adjust the Mirror
Adjusting the mirror is an easy solution.
A slight adjustment can change the angle so the mirror is no longer in line with the door.
Its OK to have a mirror near or in the entry.
The iffy part is when its directly reflecting the view of the door.
Cover the Mirror
Sometimes, you cant move the mirror.
Maybe its fastened to the wall permanently, or youre in a rental.
Whatever the reason, get creative and cover it.
Covers can include fabric, paper, decals, frosted film, and paint.
Let your imagination run wild.
Have fun with it and enjoy it.
If you choose this route, be sure you have a spacious foyer.
Do not create a tight front door entry because that creates challenging feng shui.
