10 Best Full-Length Mirrors in the Philippines 2022 | Yanna's Home, Mandaue Foam, and More

We can all agree that before we leave the house, we all tend to double-check our outfits. Sometimes we stay even longer to mix and match our clothes- and a mirror comes in handy to see which one looks best. To get the best full-length mirror, here are some things to think about when shopping for a full-length mirror. 

Choose a shape that will look good in your room and on your wall. Although full-length mirrors are typically rectangular or oval, they provide a variety of mood and reflection angles. For example, curved or rounded frames can add a romantic look to your interior.


Meanwhile, a rectangular shape can have the illusion of windows inside the room while also creating a relaxed appearance. A long horizontal mirror adds width by drawing your eye down a long line, while a tall vertical mirror can make you appear taller by directing your gaze upward.

Then there's the arched shape mirror, which is popular these days because of its sleek and minimalist look. This mirror gives the sense of a taller ceiling, making the room feel brighter, lighter, and more spacious. It can also serve as a decorative feature in your home.

When it comes to size, get one that allows you to check your entire outfit from head to toe. You can choose between a number of sizes to fit into different areas of your home. For example, 50x80 cm is appropriate for rooms with small spaces, while 70x100 cm is perfect for bigger rooms. 

Free-standing mirrors (40x10 cm) and lean mirrors (80x160 cm) are also available for a bigger space such as your living room. You can also opt for square mirrors that measure 22x22 cm. You can install these as a collage on your wall. 

It is important to select your frame carefully because it must go well with your furniture and interior design. The frames of full-length mirrors are frequently made of wood, metal, and plastic, but there are also frameless mirrors for a more versatile option as they can match any theme. 

Wood-framed mirrors can go with any style, making them one of the best choices. However, they will blend with a rustic theme the most. They also vary in terms of weight depending on the type of wood used. Solid wood, for example, is heavy and may require drilling to install. 

Meanwhile, engineered wood is lightweight and can be used by simply hanging it behind a door or on your wall. Wood frames are sometimes sculpted to go well with a traditional interior design. When it comes to color, varnished wood will highlight the natural grains, while painted frames are best for a modern theme.

A metal frame provides a more industrial look that works well in a modern setting. It has an eye-catching finish that makes them a great accent piece in your living room or hallway. If you want a minimalist design for your room, they can work great for adding character without looking too busy or loud.

Moreover, they are more durable and easier to maintain than wood frames. These frames are also available in a range of finishes, such as brass, copper, and black. Keep in mind, however, metal frames are prone to corrosion and will require repainting in the long run.

Polystyrene is a lightweight plastic that's more durable. This material is also weather-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. It can be made to look and feel like real wood. Its advantage is that this does not splinter, warp, and rot like real wood. Plus, it does not need to be varnished and comes in different colors.

Full-length mirrors can be installed or placed in a room in a couple of ways. You can choose between wall-mounted or free-standing mirrors. In addition,  you can select based on the available space you have and on whether you're renting the place or not.

Wall-mounted mirrors require drilling into your wall, so this is suitable if you already own the place. If you're renting, always check with the owner of the condo or apartment. Because they are not placed on the floor, they are less likely to break. However, they cannot be easily moved, so you have to plan carefully where you will install this mirror.

This is also perfect for families who live in small apartments because it will not take floor space. Furthermore, if you have small children, this reduces the risk of them breaking and causing an accident. You can also install this type of mirror behind doors, so you can easily check your outfits before leaving.

With free-standing mirrors, you can move them to any room of the house. You can also tilt the mirror to get a better angle.  This type of mirror is ideal for people who like to rearrange things around and change the look of their rooms on a regular basis.

However, if you have small children in the house, it is best to keep the free-standing mirror away from common areas and place it in your bedroom.
