This Viral IKEA Mirror Has a Gamechanging Space-Saving Secret
Successfully living in a small space requires one part creative thinking (like using mirrored furniture) and one part creative design. While you handle the creative thinking, IKEA covers the innovation. A mirror from the Swedish home store doubles as a closet, making it the ideal piece for tiny bedrooms, tight front entryways, or bathrooms that need a bit more wiggle room.
“Instead of using a plain mirror, this guy’s a nice little hack,” Joseph Morrison (@joey_driftwood) said in a recent TikTok video of the mirror. “You can open it up, and you can hang things in it. Even a legitimate leather jacket fits in this thing as well as all your bags and hats.”
What Is IKEA’s GRANVÅG mirror?
GRANVÅG is a wall-mounted full-length mirror with a secret. When you open up the front mirrored panel, a hanging space for coats, scarves, hats, bags, and more is revealed. Even with the hanging area behind it, this mirror still sits fairly flush against the wall, making it work especially well in spaces with limited space. Another bonus? It’s less than $110 and can help a small room feel larger.
There is also no right side up to the GRANVÅG — depending on which way you need the mirror to swing open, you can install it one way or the other. Because the hanging system in the back isn’t enclosed, you can also use the hooks to store bath towels or robes after a shower.
The good news is that IKEA shoppers can attest to how good this mirror is. “This is the second GRANVÅG mirror I’ve purchased,” one IKEA shopper wrote in their review. “I love how there’s space behind it to store stuff (needs to be thin, like belts or empty bags) on movable hooks … It can be flipped ‘upside down’ to swing in either direction. I sometimes use the bottom and top bars to dry laundry. It’s sturdy.”
Someone else wrote, “What a great buy! I put this in my closet, and not only do I use the mirror as a full length, it also holds jewelry.”
Save space and pick up this cleverly designed mirror from IKEA. It’ll give you the perfect spot for selfies and the extra hidden storage you need.
