Thanks to the pleasant weather and design possibilities, now is the perfect time for home improvement projects. For many people, the bathroom is at the top of the list. If you’re planning to upgrade yours, start with the mirror. Despite being a major focal point, it’s often passed over for fixtures like the sink or shower. If you have custom mirrors in the bathroom and have struggled with ways to renovate them, here are a few ideas you could try.

How to Update a Bathroom Mirror

1. Wooden Frame

Attaching wooden frames to custom mirrors instantly adds class and style. If you have a particular shade of wooden furniture throughout your home, stain the frame in a similar color for a cohesive interior design scheme.

2. Tiles

If your bathroom predominantly features tiles, make a frame with them using a different color or pattern. This option is ideal for busy bathrooms since tiles are easier to clean than wood. Use a water and vinegar solution to wipe the tiles clean, preferably with a microfiber cloth. Then, rinse them off with fresh water.

3. Paint

For a faster update, you can’t go wrong with paint. Try contrasting colors, stripes, or even stencils to make a design around it. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s an eggshell, semi-gloss, or gloss finish; these are more durable and easier to wipe down than a flat one.

4. Opposite Wall

Another trick is to decorate the opposite wall so that it gets reflected in the mirror. Create a bold design with any of the aforementioned materials; this can be as simple as painting a section of the opposite wall in a different color. You could also hang a painting that’s a similar size to the mirror across from it.
