Real Talk: What We've Seen from Customers
A customer once told us:
“I switched from a standing mirror to a wall-mounted one and suddenly had so much more room on my table. Now my perfumes and brushes are out instead of stuffed in a drawer!”
But another said:
“I love my Jessica mirror because I move it from my dressing table to the window depending on the light. I couldn’t do that with a mounted one.”
It is about lifestyle.
FAQs
Q: Can I install a wall-mounted mirror in a rental home?
A: Yes, but check your lease first. Use removable wall anchors if needed.
Q: Are free-standing mirrors less stable?
A: They can be. Look for a model with a broad base, such as the Grace Tabletop Mirror, for improved stability.
Q: What size should I get?
A: If you're tight on space, go for smaller free-standing options. For larger rooms, a mounted mirror, such as the Ella Hollywood Mirror, makes a significant impact.

A: Wall-mounted mirrors often come with better lighting. Look for LED features and dimmable brightness.
