A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
If it is a perfectly flat mirror then it should appear the same size. However, if the mirror has any curve towards you, then the image's reflection can look larger than original.
I guess it is because of preception.... if your standing about a metre away from the mirror... it will appear your reflection is a metre behind the mirror
you appear to be reflected
I remember this answer by remembering the word 'cave' as in 'concave'. The answer is Concave.

it will appear twice as large because you are also seeing a reflection of the room.
The mirror is slightly convex (domed outward). This gives the mirror a larger viewing area. The trade-off for this larger viewing area is that objects seem smaller. One way to think about it is that you are viewing more stuff in the same size mirror. To fit more stuff in your view, the stuff you are viewing must be smaller.
it reflects light tricking the eye making it appear that the room is larger
Some images on a mirror usually appear erect because of the concave mirror.
The mirror is convexed so it sees a larger area. If you see a larger area in the same size mirror then it is reasonable to understand that things are smaller which corresponds to further away. So, you must mentally realize that they are closer.

Same distance behind mirror.
