Horizontal mirrors serve to highlight the width of the room and make the eye fall along the horizontal line. The tall vertical shape will draw attention to the height of the room because the eye moves upwards. Meanwhile, square or rectangular mirrors help give the room an organized and controlled look. If you want a softer look, use a round mirror.
Place it at an Appropriate Height
Make sure that the mirror is not too high or low. It should be placed at eye level. You can use a tape measure to find out how tall you are. Then, place the mirror at the height that makes you feel comfortable.

A floor-length mirror should be at least 120 cm (+ 48 inches) [1] if you are planning to use it for wardrobe-planning purposes. Many floor mirrors are made in the 5- to 7-foot range (150-215 cm), but the height of your floor mirror will depend on the height of your ceilings, where it is placed, and how much presence you want it to have.
Hang it with Care
If you hang it too high, you will see yourself as an old man. If you hang it too low, you will see yourself looking down.
For hanging mirror, generally, you’ll want to hang your mirror at eye level, approximately 150-165 cm from the floor. Position the mirror on the wall where you want to hang it, centering it on the wall or on a piece of furniture beneath it (couch or console table).
Clean it Regularly
You should clean your mirror every week. It is very easy to do so. Just use a soft cloth and wipe off the dust.
How to clean your mirror?
- Rub your mirror in circular motions.
