Mirror glass comprises mostly of ordinary glass with a reflective coating in some kind of metal. In the past it was common for the coating to contain lead or mercury – but over time, both of these metals have been shown to be harmful to people and the environment. That’s why, as of several years ago, IKEA has a total ban on using lead or mercury in our mirrors and instead it is non-toxic silver or aluminium that reflects your mirror image.

Behind the mirror, you can hang tomorrow’s outfit and clothes that aren’t ready for the laundry basket quite yet. No clothes piles, no unnecessary loads of laundry – and you can treat yourself to a few extra minutes in bed, too.
