I have always wanted a large, leaning floor mirror in our master bedroom but hadn’t loved the prices when I found ones I liked… big surprise.
So I went on the hunt when I started the One Room Challenge… online, back alley mirror stores… nothing.
DIY ideas started to swim around in my mind and on a trip to Ikea a lightbulb went off. They sell mirrored closet doors… mirror… tall… cheap… dunzo! I picked up the Vikedal mirrored closet door for $50 and then set about making it my dream mirror. Scrap trim to the rescue!
The steps are pretty simple…
- Buy mirror (they do come in different sizes)
- Buy some thin trim and cut to desired lengths.
- Adhere wood strips with mirror adhesive.
- Paint the trim and edges of the mirror to look cohesive.
Side note- I absolutely would have spray painted the wood trim pieces before I cut and glued them on but we have been in the middle of monsoon season here in TX so being outside to spray paint was not an option.
So for $50 and some change, I am happy! And loving it next to my painted accent chair (you can find the diy fabric tutorial here)
And just for fun because I love a good high vs low comparison, one of the mirrors I loved (link here) that inspired me next to my mirror and guess what… $400 difference!
This room is so close to being done! and good thing because we only have 2 weeks left in the challenge!
You can catch up below and don’t forget to jump over and see the progress in the Dining Room!

Oh goodness, great job on the mirror! I love the way the trim kind of mimics the feel of the chair. Can’t wait to see how this all turns out.
We have a large mirror in our entry that I got at Ikea…I think it was about $60. Anywhere else, a mirror that size would have been $200+. Ikea is a great resource sometimes.
I hope you’ll join Thoughts of Home today. 🙂
What a great idea! I love floor length mirrors and yours looks really nice!

There is nothing better than creating something we want for less.
Woo hoo!
It’s one of life’s great pleasures.
Thank you for sharing this at TOHOT!

Bee the room is really coming along! I am a bit late to the TOHOT party this week due to my college semester finals but I’m so glad that I didn’t miss this. Have a wonderful week.
