Many people think of mirrors as only for home decor or for catching a glimpse of yourself as you get ready for the day. But in the workplace, mirrors can take on an important functional role. From office settings to retail locations to fitness centers, mirrors can do so much more. See how you can put mirrors to use in your workplace.
Office
In an office setting, mirrors can make lobbies and waiting areas appear larger and more sophisticated, creating a favorable first impression for customers and clients. When strategically placed across from windows, mirrors reflect light into common areas, like cubicle clusters. This makes the space seem brighter and can improve the mood of employees. And if you’re looking to redecorate your office space, consider mirrors instead of art pieces; they never go out of style!
Restaurant
From small cafes to large dining establishments, all restaurants can benefit from mirrors. When placed on the walls or ceiling, mirrors make a restaurant seem warm and welcoming to guests. Mirrors are often used above dining booths, in bar areas, and along hallways in restaurants. Not only does this add to the aesthetic, but it also increases the light in dark areas, which is especially helpful for reading menus and receipts.
Retail
In stores and shops mirrors can have a real impact on sales. Mirrors allow customers to visualize themselves with the product, whether it be a mug, a sweater, or a bag, making them more likely to make a purchase. Mirrors can also be placed around the store to highlight certain products, so they catch customers’ attention. What’s more, mirrors can serve as a theft deterrent, allowing staff members to keep an eye on customers while they are shopping.
Gym
Mirrors are a must in fitness centers. Placing mirrors on the walls allows members to ensure they are using proper form while exercising, plus it motivates them too. Gyms often lack windows, so mirrors can also help to reflect light around the space and make it feel larger.
Hospitality
Customer-service focused workplaces, like hair salons, hotels, and museums, almost always have mirrors due to their offerings. In these workplaces, quality mirrors that are well-kept evoke trust among patrons and can help encourage repeat business.
