The frame of a bathroom mirror is often considered a decorative element of the room, but some people sometimes opt for a frameless mirror. Is there anything that can be done in this situation to make it not only functional but also decorative? Absolutely! You can decorate your bathroom mirror yourself, thus fitting it to the style of the bathroom and highlighting its unique character.
Ideas for decorating a bathroom mirror
A frameless mirror can become an interesting decorative element, giving the room an individual expression. There are many ways to decorate a mirror without a frame and make it a true decoration of your bathroom. The simplest and relatively inexpensive way to decorate a mirror is to use self-adhesive film or stickers designed to be placed on glass surfaces. In stores, there are available both convex and flat stickers showing various motifs and designs, available in different colors, textures, and sizes.
This way, you can decorate both wall and freestanding mirrors, creating extremely impressive decorations. Choosing 3D stickers can achieve an even more intriguing effect, and if you opt for pieces in vibrant colors, you will create a truly unique character for your bathroom. If you dream of an interior in a boho style, go for earth tones and oriental designs, if you want to create a bathroom in a glamour style, choose stickers or foil in shiny gold color.
Paint your frameless mirror
If physically lacking a frame as a separate element of the mirror, you can paint one. The simplest way is to paint with opaque paint meant for painting on glass, choosing a color that best fits the arrangement of the room. To decorate a large mirror, you can also use drawings made with a special marker, which can be easily removed. This allows you to create decorations that change with the season or your current mood.
When decorating a frameless mirror, remember that it is primarily a practical item, so the decorations should not hinder its use. If you want to decorate a frameless mirror, remember to use moisture-resistant stickers, markers, or paints, otherwise, the decoration will fail after just a few days.
What to use instead of a frame?
A simple frameless mirror can be placed in something that effectively replaces the mirror frame. An original idea might be to place it in an old window frame or a painting frame. You can use shells or stones attached to the mirror with glue, creating a nautical-style mirror. There are many different ways to replace a classic frame and uniquely decorate a mirror. You can even use a simple jute rope plaited in an original way and attached to the edge of the mirror. If you additionally weave colorful beads, you will get a unique boho-style mirror.
Note that by changing just the mirror frame, you can completely change the style of the bathroom. By attaching wooden strips to the mirror surface, which will serve as a frame, you will get a completely different effect compared to when colorful stickers and painted designs appear on the mirror surface.
