Tall Gold Mirrors
That item has been discontinued, but here are similar options.
Tall gold floor mirrors earn their place at full height. At 60 to 82 inches, the frame stands about as tall as you do, so it reads as furniture, with its own footprint and a line of warm metal running from the floor to above eye level. Lean one in a bedroom and the room seems to continue past the glass. Hang one in an entry and you get a last look head to toe before the door, in warm light instead of the flat gray of a closet mirror.
Every piece here comes from our complete gold mirror collection and stands 60 inches or taller. Most are clean rectangles, and a handful have arched tops that share their profile with the gold arch mirror pieces made for the wall. Finishes run from gold leaf and antiqued gold to antique brass and brushed brass, and a few bring in black iron or rattan for rooms where solid gold would be too much.
Gold floor mirrors and leaners
A gold leaner mirror is a tall frame made to rest on the floor and tip back against the wall. It is an easy way to put a big mirror in a room, because there is nothing to hang. The slight angle also tips the reflection up, which flatters most people.
How to lean a tall gold mirror
Set the base a few inches out from the wall, roughly 4 to 6 inches for a frame in the 70 inch range and less for a shorter one. Lean it too far and it looks ready to slide, and the reflection tilts up and loses your feet. Whatever the floor, strap the top of the frame to the wall, since a heavy mirror and a curious dog are a bad pairing.
A gold standing mirror in the bedroom
Put it beside the window rather than across from the bed. You dress in daylight, and you do not wake up to yourself. In a room that is mostly linen and wood, a tall gold frame adds warmth without crowding the floor plan, since it needs only a few inches of depth.
Gold full length mirrors
Hang a gold full length mirror flat when the floor space is not there, or when you want it to sit square with the door trim. A hall, the wall beside a closet and the narrow strip by the front door are the usual spots. Use the hanging hardware supplied with the mirror and go into studs or anchors rated for the weight, because frames this size are heavy.
The height that shows a full outfit
To see yourself head to toe in a flat mirror, the glass needs to be at least half your height, hung with its top a little above your head. A leaning mirror needs more, because the angle eats into the reflection. Most of these are 68 inches or taller for that reason, and the 60 inch pieces work best hung flat, with the top just above your head.
A full length gold mirror in an entry or hall
A narrow hall is where a full length gold mirror pays its way. It makes the space feel wider while taking almost no depth, and it carries light from the front door further down the hall. When the wall is wide rather than tall, over a console or a long bench, a frame from the large gold mirrors fills it better than a slim one.
Choosing a tall gold mirror
Tall gold mirror shapes: rectangle or arched top
A rectangle keeps the line clean and sits well beside almost any bed or dresser. An arched top softens a tall, narrow wall and reads more traditional, so it suits paneled doors and older trim better than a sharply modern room.
Bright gold or antique brass
On something this tall, the finish shows more than it does on a wall mirror. Bright gold leaf reads formal and catches lamplight. Antiqued gold and antique brass sit back, which is usually what you want from a piece that stands in your eyeline every morning. Brushed brass lands between the two, warm without much shine.
