Mirrors are the most versatile item in interior design. Not only do they reflect light and make a space appear bigger, but they also provide the best possible chance for creativity. If you possess an old, outdated, abandoned mirror stored in your closet or hung on a wall with a slightly worn appearance, now is the ideal moment for a mirror makeover under a cost-efficient budget. With a few simple tools and some creativity, you can turn it into a beautiful decorative mirror that brings personality and charm to any space.

Let’s discover some simple, easy, and affordable ways to give new life to your old mirrors and make a statement decorative mirror piece that you’ll love to show off.

1. Embrace the Potential of a Mirror Makeover.

Before we get into the DIY techniques, let’s first look at how much of a difference a mirror makeover can make.

•  Give a room depth and dimension.
• Bounce natural light to illuminate dark spaces.
• Act as a working piece of art.
• Pull your entire decor theme together.

Instead of shelling out cash for costly decorative mirrors, why not reinvent the ones you already have?

2. Bring Instant Charm with Wall Mirror Paneling.

Another very stylish trend in interior design currently is wall mirror paneling. This look can be created by either constructing a grid of small mirrors or boxing up a large mirror to make it appear paneled. It results in a high-end, sophisticated vibe that can turn an empty wall into an architectural element.

Step 1: Measure your mirror and mark out an even grid using painter’s tape.
Step 2: Construct the panel lines using wooden or MDF trim.
Step 3: Paint the trim with your preferred color, such as traditional black, off-white, or bold navy or emerald green.
Step 4: Install the trim with a strong adhesive or nails, and touch up paint as necessary.

This looks gorgeous in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms behind a headboard.

3. Frame It for a Whole New Look.

One simple method of sprucing up a mirror is to provide it with a new frame. Even a plain mirror can become a dramatic decorative mirror with the proper border.

Frame Ideas:

• Natural Wood Trim: Ideal for modern farmhouse-inspired style rooms.
• Vintage Molding: Provides elegant elegance ideal for shabby chic or vintage-style rooms.
• Painted Pop Frame: Add personality with a bold, bright color such as mustard, coral, or teal.
• Metallic Finishes: Gold, bronze, or silver can give a touch of glamour to any mirror.

If your mirror is stuck to the wall (such as in most bathrooms), you can still fix a frame to it directly using adhesive strips or nails.

4. Use Embellishments in an Artistic Manner.

Act as a working piece of art. Add embellishments to turn your old mirror into a truly unique piece.

Innovative Ideas:

• Rope Framing: Wrap jute rope around a round mirror for a coastal or rustic style.
• Mosaic Borders: Use leftover tiles, glass pieces, or even broken CDs for making a colorful, vibrant, textured frame.
• Pressed Leaves or Flowers: Enclose actual or artificial flowers and leaves in a clear transparent frame for a floral, natural vibe.
• Geometric Wooden Pieces: Create small wooden shapes (such as triangles or hexagons) in design patterns around the mirror for a modern art look.

Let your creativity run wild, and your mirror can be as bold or as subtle as you desire.

5. Keep Mirror Surface Clean.

Follow these simple steps when your DIY makeover is finished to make it last forever.

Particularly if you’ve put on weight to the mirror by framing it or by adding accessories to it, make sure to fix it strongly to the wall so that it doesn’t comes out.

To really make it pop, frame it with plants, artwork, or artificial lighting.
