Before choosing the one you want you need to think about if it is right for your needs. The following are a few points to consider to help you make a better informed decision.

With full length free standing floor mirrors you position them on the floor and lean them against the wall. This may prove a problem if you have very young children at home. For a child a mirror is a like a brand new shinny toy rather than a piece of furniture that helps you ensure the jewelry matches the dress. With kids you are more than likely to have your new mirror smudged with greasy finger prints. Therefore, you may want to consider a mirror that is not in full view for example, having it placed behind your wardrobe door.

An important thing to consider is the space you have available in the room that you are deciding to put it. For example, if the floor space is limited in size then full length floor standing mirrors may take up too much of the floor area. In that case full length wall mirrors would free up your limited floor space. A full length adjustable mirror can enable you to move the frame to vary the angle of reflection. Try it out first to see if the different positions are agreeable to you. Also, make sure the hinge mechanism is of good quality.

You need to think about the dimensions of the mirror and in particular the height. If you are a person who is quite tall then the last thing you want is a mirror that is not tall enough. Therefore, check the dimensions such as the width and height. If your frame is broader than average then you may need one with a wider frame. Due to their height full length standing mirrors can be unstable therefore you may want to consider one with a base or a stand. This will make it sturdier however, the base will take up more floor space which may not be practical if the area is limited. Instead securing it to the back of the door could be a better compromise.

If your buying free standing mirrors solely for practical purposes then all you need to think about is the width and height. However, if it is a decorative piece you will want it to fit in with the rooms existing decor and design theme. If your decor is more traditional an antique round beveled edge cheval mirror with a wood frame would be a good choice. For a more modern and contemporary mirrors look you can choose from a variety of frame less or frames with a distressed metal black and bronze finish.
