Where to place a full length mirror?

The full length mirror is essential in your interior. It is the most functional mirror in your home.  
You often find these large mirrors in the bedroom, hall or walk-in closet. But the ideal place also depends on the type of house you have.
The full length mirror also looks great in the living room, on the landing or even in the kitchen.

As a mirror stylist I like to think 'out of the box' and try to find out where the mirror fits best in the house and meets the wishes and character of the residents. Mirror style and color can play an important role. A modern, industrial mirror with a wide frame in a beautiful old mansion for example. There is also plenty of choice in baroque, classic, brocante and design mirrors.

You can coordinate the colors with the rest of the home. There is a choice of gold, antique gold, silver, stainless steel - bright silver, antique silver, matte black, white, black or white lacquered. 

Case study: consulting where to place the full length mirror

The most important questions you can ask yourself by placing a mirror are: On which locations does the mirror appear at its best and in which places do I meet the mirror at the right moments? For example, I recently styled a large full-length mirror in a one-room flat where the living room, kitchen and bedroom flow into each other from left to right. In the middle of the room (between the living room and kitchen) stands a wall with the door to the hall opposite. This turned out to be the perfect place for the large full length mirror.
We chose a large mirror that fits exactly on this wall to create more light and space in the room. Moreover, she´ll meet the mirror at the right moments. Before she goes somewhere, she can have a look at her outfit and make-up, which exactly fulfils the wishes of the resident.

How big should a fitting mirror be in order to see yourself completely?

The size of the fitting mirror depends on your own length and width but also on whether you hang the fitting mirror or use it as a floor mirror.

The mirror can be 20cm shorter than your own length if you hang the fitting mirror 20cm above the floor.
If you place the fitting mirror on the floor then the mirror should be as long as your own height.

Choose the width of the mirror glass equal to your own width with a minimum of 30-40 cm.
(The average shoulder width of an 18-year old woman is 35 cm and 39 cm for a man).
In the above cases you will always be able to see yourself completely in the mirror.

What size do I choose for my mirror?

We have wall mirrors in different sizes. Long, narrow and high from 40cm, 50cm 60cm to 180cm, 200cm, 210cm, 220cm, 230cm.

Keep in mind that the minimum width for mirror glass for a full length mirror is 30 to 40cm wide. The width of the frame is included. To let the mirror come into its own, you choose a mirror of the desired length and take into account a margin of 10 cm less. Do you also find it important to create more space and light? Then choose an extra large mirror, both in width and height.

How to place the mirror?

This is important to keep in mind! Full lenght mirrors are big and can be very heavy. Our advice is to hang heavy mirrors from 15 kg on two hanging brackets.
Do you choose to place the mirror on the floor and not to hang it? Then we recommend anchoring it to the wall.

Full-length mirror with wide edge or wide frame

Are you looking for a sturdy oblong mirror that also adds something to your own taste and interior?
Then take a look at Matteo, this mirror will be delivered within 3 working days because we have it in stock. You can choose between the colours matt black and rich gold. And how elongated do you want the mirror to be? You can choose for example 88x180cm or do you want the mirror to be even more elongated in the size 88x210 cm? This large mirror is standard available in 8 sizes.

Elongated mirror with a narrow frame

Do you prefer a minimalistic oblong mirror but a mirror of high quality, handmade and traditionally coloured? Then take a look at the Italian mirror Pico. With mirror Pico you can choose from 8 colours like gold, silver, black and white but you can also choose from 11 sizes or have the mirror custom-made. The standard size is 72x194cm but 50x160cm is also available. This mirror does have a delivery time because it is made to order at a family business with a mirror workshop in Northern Italy.
A mirror of the highest quality, ECO mirror glass and stable value of the trademark Barokspiegel®

Elongated mirror with a baroque edge - frame

An oblong mirror with a baroque edge is just as practical and can add a lot to the atmosphere of the room where you place or hang the mirror.
For example Italian baroque mirror Francesco is a Limited Edition baroque mirror available in 6 colours and 3 sizes, for example 86x177cm or 105x205cm. Limited Edition mirror does mean gone = gone.
This large or elongated mirror is very suitable for the bedroom or hall.

Elongated mirror with a modern tight edge - frame

We also have a super sleek modern oblong mirror, for example Italian mirror Romano. This mirror is handmade in Italy from solid wood (In China they copy this model but this is not solid wood).
In Italy this mirror is coloured with gold leaf or silver leaf. Still pure authentic handicraft! A pearl of a mirror!
This mirror is also available as an oblong mirror model or can be custom made. For example 88x180cm or 127x227cm. 

How to choose the perfect mirror?

We have a wide range of mirrors, both in stock and custom-made in our frame-maker and in our 2 mirror ateliers in Italy. Therefore we give some tips for choosing the perfect mirror.

Where to place a long mirror

First consider the place where you want to place your long-form mirror. A long mirror is often used in the hallway, dressing room and bedroom.
If you have a dark alcove in the living room, it is also very suitable for a long mirror. Also in the bathroom you can create a lot of atmosphere with a long mirror, just a bit different than usual.

Long mirror standing or hanging

Do you want to hang the mirror or use it as a floor mirror?
Will you hang the mirror? Do this between 10 and 20 cm above the ground.
Do you want to place the long mirror on the ground? Choose a height of your own height or longer.

Long mirror horizontal or vertical

People usually think that a long mirror should be hung vertically, but nothing is less true. A long mirror can also perfectly be hung horizontally above a sideboard in the living room.
Or horizontally above the bed in the bedroom. Even in the hall above a wainscot you often choose to hang it horizontally.
Make sure that you always hang a large and/or oblong mirror on 2 hooks and never on a rope or wire! See our mirror hanging advice
At Barokspiegel.nl we always mount 4 hooks for horizontal and vertical hanging.

How big should a mirror be in order to see yourself completely?

If you put the mirror on the ground, choose a long mirror of your own length or higher.
If you hang the mirror on the floor you can choose a mirror 20cm shorter than your own length if you hang it 20cm above the floor.
In principle you can see yourself completely in a mirror half of your own length (science) but it is not preferred because then you have a small wall mirror and you have to stand exactly in the right place to see yourself completely.

Long mirror that fits your interior

You can choose the frame or edge of the mirror to match your interior. If, for example, you have a lot of gold in your interior, gold will be a good match. If you like stainless steel, choose the colour Bright Silver, which is the closest match. A long mirror with a black edge fits in a tough or brocante interior.
