Build a frame around a bathroom mirror.

Start by determining the size of the existing mirror as well as the new frame. Using a table saw cut the trim and molding pieces to size. Use measurements to cut lengths of primed mdf baseboard. Keep the table saw unplugged when not in use especially when adjusting the blade or fence.

In this case the mirror was 84 x 36. I browsed the wood and trim aisles of home depot and picked out a primed 1 4 inch trim board. Even the budget mirrors at home goods can run between 50 60 for a small ish mirror. I could have gone.

Now cut out a pocket or groove in the primary trim pieces to accommodate the edges of the mirror image 2. Measure the mirror on the wall to determine the length and width of frame image 1. Place the mirror in position starting at the bottom. I had originally thought i was going to go with a more detailed trim to frame out the mirror but after i checked cost on the trim i wanted to use my mirror was big and reconsidering i decided to go with a more basic clean look.

Have materials cut at a home improvement store and consider using style of door casings in home as inspiration for the look of the mirror frame. Adding décor to the bathroom by installing mirror decorative framing. Acrylic mirror strips measure 60 in. Then attach the frame as described in the previous section.

Framing strips apply to existing mirrors with included double faced tape squares plus adhesive glue which can be purchased separately. The acrylic mirror finish looks like a real mirror and the strips are easy to size and cut for a proper fit. With this size i knew i wanted to frame it with 1x4 for good proportions. Determine trim style and positioning of trim around mirror to obtain measurements specific to mirror being framed.

For our latest bathroom renovation instead of replacing the bathroom mirrors we updated them. Because of the overall style of the bathroom squared cedar was selected as the frame material.
