Mirrors In Small Homes | 5 Great Ideas You Can Steal

They can also be built into other pieces of furniture, like this genius little table from Porada:

A super cool way to store an extra table on the wall, so you can seat more people when you want to entertain your friends or host a party for your friends and family.

The idea is very similar to the table on the top of this page.

 

Where to put that big mirror in a small space?

Finding a good spot for a big mirror can sometimes be a challenge in small homes.

Mirror with shelves on the back

This mirror can swing out, to reveal a rack of shelves on the back.

A clever way to store makeup and toiletries.

If you want to be able to access your stuff and look in the mirror at the same time, a sliding mirror can be a good option.

This way you can see all your stuff, while you put on your makeup, or whatever you store behind the mirror.

It is also a good idea if you don’t want to have visible hinges on the sides of the mirror.
