Well, I think they are great - bounce lots of light around, and enlarge the space visually, at least in the pix. I am not totally sure what the issue is with people being able to see into the bedroom when the door is open.

However, if your son doesn't like them, he could buy wallpaper for windows (one example in the link below) and apply that to the glass. There are sprays to frost glass or mirrors that could be used. I suppose you could also just use regular wallpaper. If the design of the door allows for it you can also apply thin pieces of wood trim or lathe to create window-looking trim on top of the mirror, which will break up all the mirror.

wallpaper for windows

Thank you, what a great idea! The window pane idea is a good one. At least people won't walk into the doors.

Les, when we first walked into the apartment, it appeared as if the entrance to the bedroom was the mirror on the hall door as the bedroom door was open. My husband walked right into the hall mirror and really hit it. We all stood there in shock. Of course, that wouldn't happen to us again, but could happen again with someone else.

Its hard to see from the small photos, but you really don't realize the hall mirrors are there. Looks like a room.

In case he decides on this unit, I'll keep that link.

Thanks so much,
Jane
