They\u2019re pretty standard in any home built in the 90s and they were present in our bathroom. I think they have a very unfinished look but the good news is \u2013 they can be fashioned to your taste with a quick modification. When you think about a bathroom update budget \u2013 a mirror can take a good slice of the budget. Even the budget-friendly mirrors at Home Goods can cost upwards of $150 or more. A simple installation of a frame for your bathroom mirror is a great option if you want to keep the nice large mirror without shelling out a bunch of cash. In this tutorial, you&#8217;ll learn how to add a frame to a bathroom mirror using trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-table-of-contents uagb-toc__align-left uagb-toc__columns-1  uagb-block-a0e87fd4     \"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-scroll= \"1\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-offset= \"30\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-toc__wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-toc__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTable Of Contents\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-toc__list-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#how-to-frame-a-bathroom-mirror\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">How to Frame A Bathroom Mirror<\/a><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#diy-bathroom-mirror-frame\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">DIY Bathroom Mirror Frame<\/a><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#how-to-diy-a-bathroom-mirror-frame\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">How to DIY a Bathroom Mirror Frame<\/a><ul class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#project-supplies-needed\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">Project Supplies Needed<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#instructions-for-building-a-bathroom-mirror-frame\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">Instructions For Building A Bathroom Mirror Frame<\/a><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#assembly-of-this-framed-builder-grade-mirror\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">Assembly of This Framed Builder Grade Mirror<\/a><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#after-photos-of-framed-bathroom-mirror\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">After Photos of Framed Bathroom Mirror<\/a><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#wrapping-up-a-framed-bathroom-mirror\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">Wrapping Up A Framed Bathroom Mirror<\/a><\/ul><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/How-to-Frame-Out-A-Vanity-Mirror-1.jpg\" alt=\"How to frame a bathroom mirror in an afternoon for less than $40!

In this particular space, we weren\u2019t replacing the vanities so it made sense to frame the mirrors that were there to keep the mirrors proportional with the vanities. If we were changing out the vanities and had a larger budget, perhaps we would have considered changing out the mirrors but, I am actually really impressed with the way this turned out for just $40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY Bathroom Mirror Frame<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For our latest bathroom renovation, instead of replacing the bathroom mirrors &#8211; we decided to update them with a DIY bathroom mirror frame. (PS. If you didn&#8217;t catch the big ol&#8217; bathroom reveal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/master-bathroom-makeover\/\">head over here<\/a> first and check out the pretty stunning before and after.) We framed these two vanity mirrors for less than $40 in wood. For the price of one small-sized hanging mirror, that you&#8217;d find at Home Goods, we DIY framed out two huge bathroom mirrors, in an afternoon. In the tutorial below I&#8217;ll show you how to frame a bathroom mirror!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our main bathroom had two separate vanities with their own huge builder-grade mirrors. During our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/master-bathroom-makeover\/\">bathroom renovation<\/a>, we painted the vanities and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/bathroom-countertop-refinishing\/\">re-glazed the countertops<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/painted-bathtub\/\">bathtub<\/a>. After those updates, it was clear that we needed to do something to upgrade the mirrors. I actually loved the size of the mirrors, they are proportional to the vanities but buying a replacement of this size would have been super expensive and it didn\u2019t make sense to get rid of perfectly good mirrors just because they lacked frames. We had a goal to keep our bathroom makeover as budget-friendly as possible. To keep on budget, it made sense for us to update the builder-grade bathroom mirror by adding a frame.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DIY-Vanity-Mirror.jpg\" alt=\"how to frame a bathroom mirror with clips\" class=\"wp-image-9878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DIY-Vanity-Mirror.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DIY-Vanity-Mirror-467x700.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DIY-Vanity-Mirror-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DIY-Vanity-Mirror-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DIY-Vanity-Mirror-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DIY-Vanity-Mirror-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Listen, this was a really easy home improvement project. Matt and I were able to knock out both frames in an afternoon including a run to Home Depot for supplies. The mirror frames came out really nice and professional-looking. I&#8217;m really happy with the white paint. The vanities go so nicely with the rest of the renovation.

Using your miter saw, cut your wood at a 45-degree angle so the outside portion of your wood piece will be the full length of the mirror (see pic above). Make cuts for all four sides.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, sand the wood so it&#8217;s nice and smooth, be sure not to sand the angled cuts too much &#8211; you want them to fit together flush.
