Hallway mirror advice

[VJamieson]

hi everyone, first post on this forum so please bear with me!

Basically, I'm looking to put a new, large mirror in our hallway and we've got quite a modern decor so the design needs to match. However, we've also got young children so I'm not sure a real mirror is the way forward.

I've been looking at alternatives and have seen acrylic mirror mentioned a few times. I was just wondering whether anyone had experience of this and whether it's a good alternative?

Thanks

I would have thought that acrylic mirrors would be really easy to scratch.....is it safety concerns you have?

You can use any mirror and apply bomb film.

And warp out of shape with expansion & contraction

Yes it was safety concerns I had, which I think acrylic would solve. However, it appears it's maybe not good for other reasons.

I might try something else for the hallway but I have found mirrored shapes that are made from acrylic for my kids' bedrooms.

You can get safety backed mirrors which have a film on the back so they won’t explode into shards.
