How To Personalise Your Mirror Frame

The right home accessory helps to complete a room. No matter how long you’ve spent choosing a wall paint colour, testing out rugs or agonising over the perfect sofa, sometimes it is the smaller details that make a space feel complete. Mirrors play a multitude of roles in our homes. They allow us to check our appearance before leaving the home. They draw more light into a space. And, they can make the most cramped room feel spacious. So, we think, your mirror deserves the best frame to ensure it stays loved for many years to come. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at one way you can personalise your mirror in seconds.

Customise With Spray Paint

It is amazing how, by simply changing the colour of an item, you can completely transform its feel and look. Something old becomes like new. Something minimalist becomes maximalist. And, it’s the same for mirror frames. If you’ve grown bored of the simplistic wood or want to see the back of that plain white base, consider painting it. The best way to ensure full coverage and a smooth finish is to use spray paint for such a job.

Prepare the surface in advance. This may mean sanding it with fine paper to increase the surface area and/or using a primer to ensure the paint sticks evenly. Once it has been prepared, lay the frame down on newspaper and spray a full-coverage layer of the paint on it. You may need to build on the colour, depending on the look you’re going for. And, if you’re working with a more complicated or intricate frame, you may need to wait for one side to dry before spraying it on the other too.

Additional Considerations

If you don’t want a plain block colour, layer over your chosen stencil and spray a contrasting colour within the pattern. Because the paint is layered thinly, this makes it easier to create defined lines and ensure you see the pattern you have chosen. You can also choose from either gloss or matt finishes, depending on which best suits the aesthetics of the room around it. Both will adhere well to the majority of materials and give you flexibility in design that you’re sure to love.
