How Wide Should a Full-Length Mirror Be?

When shopping for a full-length mirror, it's not just the height that matters—the width is equally important to get a complete, flattering, and functional view. Whether you're furnishing a modern bedroom or looking for a vintage full-body mirror for your dressing space, understanding the ideal width ensures you choose the right mirror that complements both your needs and your interiors.

Ideal Width for a Full-Length Mirror

The typical full-length mirror should be wide enough to show your entire body from head to toe, not just in height, but also in breadth.

✅ Standard Width:

  • 16 to 20 inches – Perfect for narrow spaces and minimalistic styles.
  • 20 to 30 inches – The most common width for a full-size mirror that balances visibility and elegance.
  • 30 inches and above – Ideal for statement-making large wall mirrors or floor-standing mirrors.

If you're looking for a bedroom wall mirror or a full-length standing mirror, 24–30 inches wide is generally recommended for a good balance between functionality and decor.

Width Based on Placement

Placement LocationIdeal Width

Bedroom (wall-mounted) 20–30 inches

Dressing Area (standing) 24–32 inches

Entryway or Hallway 18–24 inches

Living Room (decorative) 30+ inches

Choosing the right width also depends on the mirror’s frame—like a wood frame mirror full length, which may add visual weight so, if you're looking at a gold mirror length or a vintage full-length mirror, factor in the frame thickness.

Tips to Choose the Right Full-Length Mirror Width

  • For small bedrooms, go with sleek, long mirrors around 18–24 inches wide.
  • If you want the mirror to double as a decor piece, try a wavy full-length mirror or arched full-length mirror in 28–36 inch width.
  • Want full visibility from head to toe with some space around? Opt for a big mirror or large sheet full-length mirror that’s at least 30 inches wide.
