Mirrors is something special, so they were always already attributed magical properties. They are both a symbol of vanity, but also for other self-knowledge and wisdom. Everyone knows the central scene in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the step-mother back her magic mirror to the most beautiful girl in the whole country always questioned. And in Alice in Wonderland, Alice is rising in the second volume of her mirror in an enchanted world. In the mirror you look into it almost automatically as you pass. Without them, we can see that is never completely. Through its two-dimensional image they give us an idea of ourselves
No wonder then that play mirrors in feng shui in the design of spaces play an important role.
Especially on children mirror often exercise a great attraction. Can you still remember the moment when your child the first time recognized in the mirror? Children waving likes himself in the mirror, pulling faces, stick out your tongue, observe yourself and others through the mirror ... why hang parents also often a mirror into the children.
Here I would like tips and ideas on the correct location of a mirror in the children give a few. (The course applies generally to all rooms!)
Fables of the mirror from IKEA
Of the nature of the mirror:
- clear (no dull or blemished heirlooms)
- undamaged
- hell (no tints)
- framed (so you avoid sharp, dangerous edges or the frame itself should be unobtrusive)
- large enough (so that the child can see themselves in it entirely)
- not too large (so that it does not feel lost)
- wide enough (so that no feeling of physical constraint arises)
- one piece (that is by no means mirror tiles, a feeling of Zerteiltseins, inadequacy and lead to instability)
- clean (yes, the mirror should be regularly cleaned from dust and fingerprints)
-> Such a mirror makes a positive view of themselves, the children can develop their whole personality and experience - free and unlimited, bright and radiant.
When searching the Internet I was really scared, what extra levels are offered for children. These correspond generally did not support these requirements and not the healthy growth of our children. Since I consider the simple and reasonable price levels that exist at Ikea (eg model of RAM for just € 6.99), as a good way. Original model is also the Fables (see photo) for 19,99 €.
On the function of mirrors:
The primary role of a mirror in the nursery, of course, reflect the mirror image of the child. Nevertheless, levels have many more functions that can be observed in the search for the right place.
Mirror könnnen:
- more light and more positive energy into the children's room to draw it.
- small children's optical zoom.
- a harmonious environment from the outside to get into the nursery (such as a beautiful tree, the sky, flowers ...).
- symbolically doubling of positive, pleasant things, cause a.
- brought by round and oval shapes more peace to the nursery (Yin-forms).
- a Bagua-step Zone.
- Fehlbereich the contour offset.
To place and at the suspension of the mirror:
- firm and flat wall mount (do not just lean)
- the body of the child should be possible to see the whole
- enough space on all sides, especially on the head
- a brighter place
- the height of the mirror has to change with the growth of children
- When children share a room, of course, all children are taken into account
- not in the bedroom of the children (ie not around the bed and not so that children can see it from the bed which, as this leads to a restless sleep)
- there should be nothing unpleasant to reflect that would be doubled in this way (for example, the pylon from the outside, the chaos of the children's corner)
- the sight of the things that are reflected, should delight the children
Children should be hanging in the mirror have to be included and various places that are eligible to try to do, and. While we parents have the role of the advisory, the children should have the last word in the choice of the right location.
