If you’re shopping for a full-length mirror, one of the first things to consider is size — especially the length. A mirror that’s too short won’t reflect your full figure, while one that’s too tall may overwhelm your space. So, what is the typical length of a full-length mirror?
Standard Full-Length Mirror Dimensions
Most full-length mirrors range from 48 inches (4 feet) to 72 inches (6 feet) in height. The most common and practical length for residential use is around 60 to 65 inches, which is tall enough to reflect your entire body when mounted on a wall or leaned against it.
Here’s a quick overview of popular sizes:
-
48" length – compact, best for smaller rooms or behind doors
-
60" length – ideal for most bedrooms and dressing areas
-
70"–72" length – oversized mirrors that create a bold statement and enhance natural light
In our Charlotte-based mirror workshop, we specialize in making full-length mirrors that are not just functional, but also crafted with character. Each piece is made from solid wood, hand-finished, and designed to feel like part of your home.
Which Size Is Right for You?
When choosing the right mirror length, think about where and how you plan to use it:
-
For leaning against a wall: 65–72 inches works best
-
For wall mounting: 60–65 inches is a great sweet spot
-
For smaller spaces: 48–55 inches can still offer a full-body view if placed correctly
We offer custom sizes too — because sometimes the perfect mirror isn’t standard.
