Create The Look Of A Large Bathroom Mirror With This Affordable Mirror Hack

Looking for bathroom mirror ideas? Mirrors are a key element of any bathroom. Usually hung above a sink or a vanity, the right mirror can help create the perfect dressing area to get ready for the day or prepare to get into bed. Bathroom mirrors come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles to suit your personal design taste. However, large bathroom mirrors can be costly and difficult to hang, especially if you live by yourself.

Luckily, there's an easy and affordable alternative: Hanging multiple smaller mirrors side by side to create the look of a larger one. Of course, you can't simply collect a random group of smaller mirrors and hang them on the wall expecting to achieve a stylish design. Instead, look for multiple identical mirrors, or intentionally curate an eclectic group that still works well together. With the right mirror selection, you can achieve an affordable bathroom mirror layout that looks incredibly high-end.

To create the look of a larger bathroom mirror, hang your smaller mirrors close enough to each other to trick the eye into thinking it's one big piece. To hang your selection of smaller mirrors, it's a good idea to start by working out where the center point of your bathroom wall is. Simply measure the entire width of the wall, divide it by two, and mark it using a tape measure. If your sink unit is not exactly in the middle of the room, then you may want to use this as your center point instead to create a more functional vanity area that will elevate your space. 

A lovely option is to hang your group of mirrors in an eclectic gallery wall style. This means collecting a range of mirrors that complement each other and hanging them on the wall in a random format, which includes overlapping a few to achieve a layered effect. If you're overlapping mirrors on top of each other, you'll need to mount some of the frame corners onto wooden blocks, so that they remain flush with the wall still. These wooden blocks can be made out of any scrap wood, but should be sized to keep the mirror flush. 

Attach the blocks to your wall using a screw and a drill. Paint the sides of your blocks the same color as your wall, so they seamlessly blend in, then hammer a nail into the block, allowing you to successfully hang your mirror onto it. You'll love having a unique, creative, and bigger-looking mirror.
