Full-Length Mirror — A Complete Reflection Without Drilling into the Wall
A full-length mirror has an advantage that no hanging model can offer: you can move it whenever you want. It doesn't require drilling, making it perfect for rented apartments, and allows you to find the best light through trial and error.
What Height?
To see your entire silhouette, the mirror should be at least 140 cm tall. Models between 160–180 cm provide a full reflection even up close and look more impressive. A width of 40–60 cm is sufficient; wider mirrors take up too much wall space.
Where to Place It
The most important rule concerns lighting: position the mirror perpendicular to the window, not directly opposite. Side light shapes the face and silhouette; front light flattens, while back light creates shadows. In the evening, a floor lamp placed to the side can help.
Safety
A 170 cm tall mirror is quite heavy — in homes with children or pets, always secure it to the wall with a bracket, even if it stands steadily. Most models come with a factory-installed bracket.
Frame and Style
A gold frame is a classic in glamour style. A thin black frame suits modern and loft interiors. Wood adds warmth and works well in Scandinavian style.
Full-Length Mirrors — Frequently Asked Questions
What height should a mirror be to see the entire silhouette?
At least 140 cm, ideally 160–180 cm. A shorter mirror requires stepping back, which may be impossible in a small room.
Where to place a mirror in the bedroom?
Against a wall perpendicular to the window, near the wardrobe. Avoid placing it opposite the bed if your own reflection bothers you upon waking.
Does a full-length mirror make a room look larger?
Yes, especially when positioned to reflect a window or the longest diagonal of the room.
