5 Floor Mirrors to Make Your Living Room Feel Twice the Size

By Amanda Sims

You probably have a floor mirror. Out of sight, on the back of the bathroom door? Crammed into a corner of the bedroom? Basically hiding where nobody can see it but you. If the whole point of having one were just to check yourself out before scrambling out the door, those locations would make sense. But floor mirrors can do more: They can brighten up a small room, just by bouncing the light around (as mirrors do) and reflecting extra square footage where there's actually just a dead-end wall. Well-positioned, a floor mirror can make a small room feel double its size. They can also serve as artwork if you skip right past the one in a white plastic frame in aisle five and dig a little deeper. Woods, metals, wickers... architectural, frameless floor mirrors exist, too! We rounded up five top picks you can shop this minute, none of which will set you back more than a few nights out would.
