- 1). Make sure a full length free standing mirror is right for you. If you have children, a free standing mirror may not be the best option as children will have easy access to the mirror and can break the glass. Children may also enjoy playing with the mirror which will make the free standing mirror dirty with children's finger prints. If you have children, a more discrete mirror hidden away on a closet door may be a better option.
- 2). Look closely at the space where you plan on keeping the full length free standing mirror. Make sure there is enough room there to both place the free standing mirror and for you to model yourself and your clothing in front of it. If you are limited in space in your room, a mirror on a door or wall could be more practical.
- 3). Look at the height of the free standing mirror full length. Make sure the mirror adjusts to a height that is tall enough for your needs. If you are tall, you might find that a wall mirror resting at a higher position gives a better view of your body than a free standing mirror resting on the floor.
- 4). Check the width of the full free standing mirror. Some free standing mirrors are wider than others. You might find that a wider one gives you a better view of yourself.
- 5). Find out if the full length standing mirror is adjustable. Try out the different positions offered by the mirror to see if they are to your liking. Try out the hinges to see if you can comfortably adjust the mirror.
- 6). Check how sturdy the full length free standing mirror is. Find out what type of wood it is made of. Try moving the mirror to see if the mirror feels wobbly or feels sturdy in place.
- 7). Measure the base of the free standing mirror if your space is tight. For example, if you plan on placing the mirror behind a door, make sure the base is not too wide not allowing the door to open up properly. (Note: a wide base can make the free standing mirror (full) sturdier, but it can also make it more bulky.)
- 8). Compare against other types of mirrors. Before deciding on a free standing full length mirror, compare how you like other types of mirrors. You might find that you like a mirror that is sturdier and not angled better.
- 9). Match the decor of your room. You will want to make sure that your free standing mirror matches the decor of your room. If you want to buy a cheap free standing mirror instead of an expensive one in the same design as your room, you can buy a wooden free standing mirror with unfinished wood that you can finish to match the color of your room.
