The mirror image
Arranging mirrors in your room will be easy with
following tips:
If there are two mirrors in a bedroom - a body-length mirror and a
dressing table or smaller mirror, put the body-length mirror behind a
door to save space.
Either the bedroom door or a wardrobe door will do fine, as long as
you can stand in front of them closely and some distance away to view
your garments in full. This mirror does not need to be elaborate or
framed, as nobody but you will see it.
Just a rectangle hung vertically with screws in each corner will
suffice. If it lacks sufficient light, install a light near it if
possible.
Place the dressing table mirror as near to natural light as possible.
Preferably this mirror should be near a window.
This will allow you to see clearly as you apply makeup, use tweezers
to pull out those stubborn facial hairs and arrange your hairstyle. Yes,
a lot of us do this in the bathroom but the luxury of sitting down
comfortably in front of a dressing table mirror is well worth it and a
surprising number of bathrooms do not have sufficient natural light.

Tips
* If you have a large
bedroom and can spare the space and afford a stand-alone
mirror, then get one. There are many elegant styles
available and this will enable you to move the mirror into
the natural light if necessary.
* If you are lucky enough to
have a walk-in wardrobe, a body-length mirror should also be
installed, with plenty of light surrounding it.
* If you can only afford the
space or money to have one mirror, it is always best to have
the body-length mirror as it will allow you to see your
entire style. You can always purchase small, portable
self-supported mirrors to assist with putting on makeup,
which will allow you to sit anywhere in the house that has
natural light.
* Don’t get too hung up on
buying mirrors. If you don’t like the mirrors out there, you
can have a local craftsman make a beautiful frame made from
recycled timber and even from recycled mirror if you can.
