1. The visual amplification principle of mirrors
Light reflection: make the space brighter and more transparent
One of the biggest functions of mirrors is to reflect light. Placing a full-length mirror opposite a window or close to a light source can diffuse natural or artificial light throughout the room, reduce dark corners, and make the space brighter and more open.
Visual extension: creating a spatial illusion
Mirrors can create the illusion of "spatial continuation", especially full-length mirrors, whose vertical dimensions are high enough to visually create a feeling that the room extends to the other side of the mirror. For example, installing a full-length mirror in a narrow corridor or a small entrance will make people mistakenly think that the space is longer or deeper.

2. Choose the right type of full-length mirror
Framed vs frameless
Framed mirror: The frame material can echo the decorative style of the home, and play a role in embellishment and emphasis. Metal frames are suitable for modern styles, and wooden frames are suitable for Nordic or country styles.
Frameless mirror: The appearance is simpler, suitable for minimalist styles or small spaces, does not increase visual burden, and is easier to blend into the background.
Mirror size and proportion
An ideal full-length mirror should be able to fully reflect a person from head to toe. The recommended height is more than 150cm and the width is more than 40cm. The larger the mirror, the stronger the visual effect of magnifying the space, but it is also necessary to make appropriate trade-offs based on the wall size and furniture layout.
Tilted vs. wall-mounted
Tilted placement: Placing the mirror against the wall will appear more casual and more design-oriented, and the angle can be adjusted to reflect a specific area.
Wall-mounted: Save floor space, more suitable for small rooms or to prevent children from accidentally touching and falling, and the installation position must be precise.

3. The best placement of full-length mirrors
Close to windows or light sources
Placing the mirror opposite or next to the window can not only enhance natural lighting, but also enhance the transparency of the room. It is especially effective for north-facing rooms with insufficient lighting.
Entrance space
The entrance is usually narrow, and setting up a full-length mirror is not only convenient for going out to tidy up your appearance, but also breaks the "narrow" sense of oppression. It is more practical to match it with a wall lamp or a shoe bench.
Bedroom or cloakroom
A full-length mirror is a must-have for dressing. Installing a large mirror next to the bedroom wardrobe or in the cloakroom is not only highly functional, but also helps to enhance the temperament of the space.
Living room or corridor
Placing a mirror in the corner of the living room or at the end of the corridor can extend the visual level of the space and create a larger and more transparent overall feeling.

4. Combining furniture and decoration to enhance the effect
Mirror + green plants
Placing green plants on one side of the mirror can create a sense of nature. The greenness is multiplied by mirror reflection, adding vitality to the space.
Mirror + lighting
Decorating wall lamps, floor lamps or mirror lamps next to the mirror can not only enhance the lighting, but also create a warm atmosphere. The combination of warm light and mirror reflection is particularly effective.
Mirror + furniture
Integrating the full-length mirror with the clothes rack and storage cabinet saves space and is powerful. You can also choose a mirror with hidden storage, which is both beautiful and practical.
Color matching
The color of the wall around the mirror will directly affect the overall effect. Light-colored walls with large mirrors are more open, and dark backgrounds can make the mirror the visual focus.
