Full-Length Mirrors – 15 Sizes, Made to Order | Reflessa
Full-length mirrors, made to order in 15 sizes
A full-length mirror only works if it is tall enough to show you from head to toe from where you actually stand — and wide enough not to look stranded on the wall.

How tall does a full-length mirror have to be?
There is a straightforward optical answer: a flat wall mirror shows you your whole body when it is at least half your height, provided the top edge sits roughly halfway between your eye level and the top of your head. Someone 1.70 m tall needs about 85 cm of glass; someone 1.90 m tall needs about 95 cm.
That is the minimum, not the recommendation. Half-height only works if you stand square to the mirror and never move. In practice you want margin for stepping back, for seeing shoes and hem together, and for a second person in the frame:
- 100–120 cm tall — the working minimum. Fine above a dresser or in a dressing area where you stand close.
- 140–150 cm tall — the comfortable everyday choice. You see the whole outfit without stepping back into the room.
- 160–180 cm tall — a mirror you look into rather than at. This is also the range where the mirror starts to change the room, not just serve it.
Width matters less for function and more for proportion. As a rule, leave at least 15–20 cm of bare wall on either side of the frame; if you cannot, the format is too wide for that wall.
Six full-length frames
Golden Majesty — carved wood in golden patina
Baroque scrollwork carved from responsibly sourced wood, with 4 mm Optiwhite glass and a bold 8.5 cm frame. The warmest of the six.
White Elegance — carved white, slim profile
The same historic carving in clean white, on a frame only 4 cm wide and 2 cm deep. The one to choose for a narrow hallway or a bright bedroom.
Regal Harmony — dark wood and gold
Gold ornament over a dark wood ground. It reads as furniture rather than decoration, which suits panelled walls and rooms with heavy joinery.
Crimson Grace — red frame
The one deliberate colour in the range. Against grey, cream or charcoal it does the work of an artwork.
Silver Regal Majesty — aged silver
Baroque carving in an aged silver finish — cooler than gold, and the easier match for chrome, nickel and grey stone.
Imperial Grandeur — gold and black
The widest frame of the six at 8.6 cm, in two tones. The black grounds the gold, which makes it the least period-looking of the ornate frames.

Hanging a full-length mirror
Each mirror ships with a reinforced hanging system and can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Three things decide whether it looks right:
- Height of the top edge. For a mirror you use rather than admire, the top edge should sit above the head of the tallest person in the household — roughly 190–200 cm from the floor for a 180 cm mirror hung close to the ground.
- What it reflects. A full-length mirror doubles whatever is opposite it. Facing a window it spreads daylight; facing a cluttered shelf it doubles the clutter.
- Clear floor in front. Leave at least 1.5 m of standing space, otherwise you will never see more than your upper half.

Questions and answers
How tall should a full-length mirror be?
At least half your height for the optics to work — about 85 cm for a person of 1.70 m. In practice, 140–150 cm of height is the comfortable everyday choice, and 160–180 cm turns the mirror into a feature of the room.
Can a full-length mirror be hung horizontally?
Yes. All six models take the same reinforced hanging system in either orientation, so a 100 × 180 cm mirror can also be mounted as a 180 × 100 cm horizontal panel above a sofa or sideboard.
How long does delivery take?
Each mirror is made to order. Production and delivery times are stated in our shipping policy.
What glass is used?
Optiwhite, a low-iron glass without the green edge cast of ordinary float glass. Golden Majesty is specified at 4 mm.
