mirror placement -bedroom

3 months ago

I have a jewelry cabinet mirror that needs to go on my wall. Try to figure out the best placement? If it’s behind my door, I think it’s going to get annoying having to shut the door every time I want to look in the mirror or get into the cabinet, opinions, please. Poll below

    Show the mirror. How big is it? is it suitable for over the dresser OR do you have some other decor you plan to arrange on top of the dresser? A large framed art piece, a lamp? Is that already the best place for the tall chest and dresser? Show to whole room.

    Above dresser we plan to center the TV. The mirror is vertical see image

    if you are going to center the TV over the dresser then don't hang a mirror next to it.

    I am wondering if the photo you have taken of the dresser is from the door in to the bedroom?

    I would put the bed on the dresser wall, so you see the bed upon entering the room.

    If you are keeping everything as is, I'd move the tall chest of drawers on the wall by the window and your jewelry mirror next to the closet door, not behind the closet door.

    That angle is the from the bed side here is a better pic from the door angle . So dresser is in front of bed

    Do you have a walk in closet ? IMO that is where that mirror should go . I guess I need more info

    Does the mirror need to be hung vertically, so you can check out your appearance head-to-toe? That makes a huge difference in our advice.

    I’m like Lyn above - my preference would be horizontal.

    It needs to be hung vertically so you can see head to toe. Also no walk in closet. Small bedroom bed faces th dresser. No other free walls

    Will it fit on the BR side of the door? Or would that not give you enough room to step back and see your full image?

    Unfortunately, no, I can’t put it behind my door. The door knob will bang into it and yes, it does not give me enough room enough space to look.

    not behind the door, to the left of the door.

  • 3 months ago

    I mean ON the door. On the side that would face the wall when the door is open.

    In the closet or behind the door. You can always add a door stop to the back of your door so it doesn't touch the cabinet.




    It' not an attractive feature.

    Your windows need drapery panels IMO.

    I should have preface that I literally just repainted my room so decor windows none of that is done yet. Putting it behind the door in anyway it’s not an option. It will not fit. That’s why I’m in the predicament of which location.

    Mount it on the outside of the closet door. Make sense...get dressed and then add your jewlery to the outfit.

    I don’t want it behind or attached to any door

    Also, My closet doors are sliders so can’t really hang there

    What are the mirror dimensions? I am wondering if it is the right size mirror for your space. It doesn’t look tall enough to show your reflection from head to toe but it looks too tall to view your reflection from just head to chest.

    I like the suggestion to place it on the wall to the left of the dresser and behind the entry door with a door stop. Avoid blocking the electrical outlet.

    I would place the mirror where it would be most convenient to open up to access your jewelry. That appears to me to be to the left of the window.

    I would have placed the dresser/TV a bit further to the right, which would then give you more space to put the mirror to the left of the dresser. Not everything has to be centered or symmetrical on a wall or space.

    Is the bedroom the best place for this mirrored piece? Most people don't put mirrors in their bedrooms in my experience. Would the back side of your closet door be a good place?

    Would the tallboy and low dresser fit on the same wall? If they can fit, I would move the tallboy dresser over and hang the mirror in its place.
