There are many reasons to consider an over-the-door mirror. For one thing, it’s handy if you’re short on wall space. Your clothes may be covering the walls of your closet, but the back of the door is the perfect place to create a dressing room vibe. Not to mention, many over-the-door mirrors are super-easy to install, creating a hassle-free way to add a reflective surface to the room of your choice.
