How to Frame a Bathroom Mirror

Contractor-grade, plate glass mirrors are typically the default selection installed when a home is built.  It’s the easy, go-to choice, but lacks the custom finished look a homeowner aspires to when building or moving into a new home.  Fortunately, it is easy to go beyond builder grade and get a designer-inspired look by simply retro-fitting the existing, wall-mounted mirror with a frame.

Wondering how to frame the mirror? While it is possible to DIY it by cutting store bought trim and gluing it in place, utilizing a frame kit makes the process seamless, and provides a professional-looking result in just minutes. 

Step 1 - How to Frame a Bare Mirror

With a frame kit you’ll follow just 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Choose a frame from one of MirrorMate’s 65 different frame styles. With so many more available styles than trim you’d find at any big-box retailer, choosing a style is the hardest part!
