Why elevators have mirrors in them?

1.15K 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?

People are also less likely to perform vandalism and other bad behaviour if they can see themselves in a mirror. May not be the sole purpose but it helps.
