So I've got a very large mirror which is too heavy to hang on a wall. Currently it leans against a wall in the corner of my bedroom.

I need to move my room around to stop it looking so full. I'm now contemplating the mirror opposite my bed.

The idea is freaking me out a bit though as I don't actually like looking in the mirror!

Would it make me vain? Will I get a fright when I wake up in the night and see myself?

And will it actually make my room look bigger?

Such an important decision for a Saturday afternoon. Help.

Might make your room look bigger but you won't really know until you try it. From experience though, having one facing the bed is fun for bedroom shenanigans and picture taking

The fact I'm unlikely to have any shenanigans in my bed means I don't have the fear of that image of myself! So very single!

I admire people who are confident enough for that though!

I probably just need a big strong man to hang it properly!

Well thats easily changed for plenty of shenanigans in your bed

anyway you would look loverly in person or within a mirror.

Mirror doors are used to make a room apear twice there size.

Note there placement well as those outside can also see within the bedroom rather well if they are placed wrongly.

A mirror at the bottom of the bed might be the wrong place for it, But a mirror offside will be spot on for those that are dressing for a night out.

Checking of there shoes-clothes and how it looks on them.

A view that really looks nice is having sex against the wall within a mirror

I've found a corner spot for it and it looks much better! And no need to catch sight of myself in the might

Id stick it behind the bed, more for decoration then than actual purpose. Just an idea

It's bad Feng Shui to have a mirror opposite your bed.

I’ve got sliding mirrored wardrobes right across the room at the foot of the bed. It does make the room look bigger (and lighter), but I only ever see myself reflected, sadly.

You can get fixings that'll take a lot of weight for a standard plasterboard wall, I've seen them that'll take 70-100kg! Can't remember the name, I used to sell them a few years ago!

If there's enough room, maybe place it across a wall at shoulder level? Keeps it useful and will make the room appear bigger and brighter

Not if the walls are made of putty

Theyd have to be pretty solid and well built to take that kind of weight for a very long period of time

You would be a lovely sight to catch in the middle of the night.

Depends on the object. Mirrors and similar have the weight pulling downwards, wall units etc will pull more outwards. I've known people to hang big oil filled radiators that are 40+kg on a 12mm board that's been dot n dabbed to breeze blocks in new builds without issue. Main problem I've seen is with towel rails and kids hanging off them!

Other things you can do with mirrrors if heavy is have a floor wall frame.

It has a slot in them so the mirror sits into them but a handy shelf for odd makeup stuff

Reference the old mantlepiece mirror same as the vestibule mirror.

Ive also installed them on vanity units to create a lighted seated area.

Plenty of uses depending on there sizes.

This the same arrangement as I have in my bedroom, it is topic of much hilarity with the occasional female partners I meet with.

It is quite frightening if you wake in the night and are a bit groggy and catch sight of yourself and think it is an intruder

But the good news is, it is a good test of how on the ball your neighbours are

We’ve got a few mirrors in our room, enjoy seeing ourselves in them.

One of the best thing is how they make the room a bit lighter too

Well 12mm board can hold a good weight, i meant more that weak ass wall filler plaster stuff. I had one of those in my bedroom when i lived with parents. You could throw a dart at the wall and it would go straight in no problem. So something like a huge ass mirror will pull on the fixings causing them to droop, eventually come loose and fall out
