We believe home design should be stylish and distinctive. From the space-changing impact of a full length mirror to the timeless elegance of a free-standing design, floor mirrors help elevate a space, making it personalized to you. At Lulu and Georgia, our thoughtfully curated collection has full body mirrors that not only reflect your style but help define the space around them.
Not sure which size or style is right for your design? Don't worry; we have got you covered. Check out the tips below for ideas and inspiration as you choose the best piece to buy for your space.
What Is the Difference Between a Full Length and Floor Mirror?
Both full length and floor mirrors are marked by their tall frame—at least 40 inches in length though sometimes reaching 72 inches or more. Both are designed to allow you to view most or all of your body, which is why they're sometimes called full body mirrors. The primary distinction comes down to how they are placed in your space.
Leaning Floor Mirrors
Floor mirrors are often designed to lean effortlessly against a wall, creating a layered or casual aesthetic. Many leaning floor mirrors, like our Topia Floor Mirror by Ginny Macdonald, come with an anti-tip kit for installation to ensure safety and stability. If you're looking for statement-making pieces, oversize floor mirrors like our Shepherd Floor Mirror with carved scallop details or the Haisley Floor Mirror with its gold resin frame can dramatically enhance your living room or bedroom.
Full Length Wall Mirrors
By contrast, full length wall mirrors are specifically designed to be mounted securely onto a wall. They offer significant style impact without taking up floor space, perfect for compact areas or halls. Many, like our Corinne Full Length Mirror, can be mounted vertically or horizontally while others like the broad-profiled Teresa Full Length Mirror have shape that lends to a single orientation. At Lulu and Georgia, you can always find the mounting options in the product details.
Standing Floor Mirrors
Distinct from leaning or mounted mirrors, standing floor mirrors feature built-in stands or supports, enabling them to remain freestanding. These mirrors can strike a modern tone or offer a timeless feature as with a swivel-framed cheval design. These mirrors work best in large spaces where they can sit in space without interrupting the flow but are for anchoring a dressing area or styling a statement accent with a functional edge.
Where to Style a Floor or Full Length Mirror?
Styling floor length mirrors or full length mirrors strategically can dramatically transform your space. Leaning mirrors, such as our Rook Full Length Mirror by Sarah Sherman Samuel, are effortlessly chic in bedrooms or living areas, creating depth and reflecting natural light beautifully. Similarly, oversize floor mirrors—like this arched Idris Full Length Mirror—instantly elevate entryways, making them appear brighter and more inviting.
In contrast, full length wall mirrors add functionality and sophistication to bathrooms, entry halls, or closets. They maximize smaller spaces by enhancing ambient light and create the illusion of a more expansive space. Keep in mind that not all mirrors are designed for use in bathrooms—whether a certain design can be styled in a full bath will be listed with the product details.
If you're incorporating a freestanding mirror, consider placing it as a striking focal point—perhaps in a lounge or bedroom corner. Standing floor mirrors can seamlessly blend into minimalist designs or set a vintage-inspired tone with added dimension and character. In any case, a thoughtfully placed mirror not only serves a functional purpose but also augments the whole of the room, accentuating lighting and amplifying depth.
