For all of you amateur home decorators (or home decorating TV show addicts), I have a dilemna.

I bought this set of mirror tiles from IKEA:
http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/store...ts=13716*13721
I'm planning on putting them vertically so I can actually see myself from head to toe.

Now I can't decide where to put them.

Option 1: In the bathroom.
Pros: There's actually room for it. It would probably look good in there too and the bathroom would look bigger.
Cons: I don't usually get dressed in the washroom. I need those mirrors mostly for times when I want to make sure all my clothes look alright together. So it wouldn't be the most convenient place.

Option 2: On the bedroom wall.
Pros: Very convenient. Could look nice and make my bedroom feel larger.
Cons: I would need to move my movie shelve (not sure where I could put it). I would see myself in the mirror when I get up (which could be scary!)

Option 3: Behind the bedroom door
Pros: Convenient. Would not have to look at myself every time I get out of bed (the mirror would be hidden most of the time)
Cons: Woudn't look as nice.

I can't say that I'll try one and change my mind later because once I put those mirrors up, I can't remove them.

Any opinions?

When I get dressed in the morning I will check the mirror in out spare bedroom as it is the longest/biggest one we have.
I would opt for #3 myself. Are you using them as part of a room decor or just for dressing purposes??

I think you should put it in the bathroom, although we havent seen a pic of it!

Or i would put it behind the bedroom door!

I voted for the bathroom because isn't have a larger (or large-looking) bathroom every girl's dream??

Although they are mirrors and are of course functional, did you buy them to be functional or decorative? I think that dictates where you hang them.

well, both.
They'll either end up in the bathroom or behind the bedroom door. I'll try to make a decision tomorow.
