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?

Lots of good reasons here, and I’d add that for women, it also allows us to keep an eye on strangers who are standing unnecessarily close. A lot of us have had “Did he just brush against my ass by accident or?” moments in public places where people are in tight quarters. Probably not designed for that purpose, but a bonus.
