Why elevators have mirrors in them?

1.13K views

Almost every elevator I’ve been in has a mirror inside. Exceptions are paternoster or technical elevators.

Does it reduce claustrophobia? Does it make the space look bigger? Does it entertain passengers?

I read in a book about problem solving (cannot recall the title) about a study done regarding elevators, and waiting times in tall buildings. They realized that if they put mirrors outside of the elevators while people were waiting they were less agitated at the wait times compared to elevators that did not have mirrors. Apparently people can entertain themselves looking into mirrors. *Hence, the birth of influencers…..*
