Was out shopping this weekend in a store on La Brea called Plantation – filled with home furnishings. The small store is packed with furniture and even more packed with accessories. So much to see…hard to concentrate. What I did notice, when I gave my eyes a rest by looking up at the walls…was a panoply of round mirrors. The store consists of three rooms. There was a round mirror on almost every wall. Is round in because of rules of Feng Shui which say a round convex mirror wards off evil…or is round in just because it is in…?
Trending Round Mirror

Mirror from Plantation – $495
Needless to say…a good round mirror can liven up a room…brighten a wall and add visual interest where needed. Can a mirror serve as art to cover an empty wall? The obvious answer is…yes…of course!

Round mirrors are a great tool in Feng Shui practice because they spread energy. By placing them above your bed, you can keep your bedroom from being too energetic, but also from becoming too stagnant. For more great advice, come to http://www.ArtOfPlacement.com.
