Make Mirrors Do Double Duty
Full Length Mirror Hanging on the Door
Many dorm rooms won’t have mirrors (or anything beyond the basic furniture). If this happens to your student, be ready to add a mirror.
He’ll need it for grooming and checking that he looks good. Because the guys do want to look good too, you know.
I’d suggest one dresser or wall mirror and a door mirror. He’ll want to take that last look on his way out, to make sure it’s all good. In a pinch, the full length mirror is the way to go.
But a mirror can do more for his dorm room. It will reflect light, making the room just a little brighter. A mirror can also make the room feel larger.
All good reasons to pick up a nice, affordable wall mirror!
