How to Choose a JYSK Mirror: Essential Criteria
Size and Placement
Where to place a large mirror in a house? In a small room, a large mirror enlarges the space. In an entryway, it helps with last-minute checks. For a bathroom mirror, allow at least 60 cm width.
Mirror Quality
How to tell if a mirror is good quality? Check: glass thickness (at least 4 mm), even silvering (no bubbles), frame (solid assembly). JYSK mirrors are generally well-made for their price.
Style and Finish
Match the frame to your decor: wood for rustic, white for modern, black for contemporary. The beige JYSK mirror fits a natural ambiance.

Double-sided, anti-fog, with LED lighting? JYSK offers a few models with extra features, perfect for a bathroom.

Mistakes to Avoid When Buying and Installing
Neglecting Exact Dimensions
Always measure the available space before buying. A mirror too large can overwhelm a room, too small seems insignificant.
Ignoring Weight and Fixing
A large mirror can weigh several kilos. Use wall plugs suitable for your wall (drywall, concrete). Don't rely solely on adhesive strips provided.
Choosing a Frameless Mirror in a Humid Room
Frameless mirrors are more sensitive to humidity. Opt for a model with a treated frame or a special bathroom mirror.
Forgetting Mounting Height
For a wall mirror, the centre should be at eye level (about 150-160 cm from the floor). For a bathroom, adjust to users' height.
Are Cheap Mirrors Good Quality?
Entry-level mirrors may have silvering defects (irregularities, distorted reflections). JYSK offers a good price-quality balance, but always inspect the product in store.
Care and Use Tips
Daily Cleaning
Use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive or ammonia-based products that attack the silvering. For stubborn marks, a white vinegar-water mix (1:1) works well.
Frame Protection
Wood frames should be dusted regularly and protected from excess humidity. Apply wax or varnish if needed.
Secure Installation
Follow the provided JYSK mirror instructions. For large models, secure with safety brackets on the wall or use a suitable floor stand.
Decor Tips
Place a mirror facing a window to reflect light. Create a gallery wall with multiple mirror sizes. In a small room, a large frameless mirror visually expands the space.
How to Choose Mirror Size?
Size depends on use: for a bathroom mirror, at least half the width of the sink. In an entryway, 40-60 cm wide is enough. For a dressing room, a full-length mirror (height > 150 cm) is ideal. Use painter's tape to simulate dimensions on the wall before buying.
