DIY Upgrades: How to Add a Custom Mirror Frame to Bathroom Mirrors

Published Date : 16th Nov 2026

You walk into the bathroom mirror every morning. You peer into the huge, bare sheet of glass, and your eyes fall upon the cold, builder grade bathroom that's been waiting for you to wake up. Replacing the entire vanity set is thousands of dollars and weeks of construction. Fortunately, it will only take one afternoon to upgrade the space and to introduce more warmth into your mornings. With a proper custom mirror frame, your life can be transformed starting from the space you look into every day.

 

Planning Your Quick Bathroom Makeover

 

The Problem with Bare Glass

Edges that are bare look cheap. Moisture from your morning hot shower contributes to the formation of unsightly black spots on the edge of the mirror. Covering the edges hides the damage and stops peeling. Studies on the psychology of home design shows that upgrading your personal spaces can improve your mood during the day and reduce stress in the morning. A simple weekend project will make any person feel better about waking up each day. Taking control of your environment is a rewarding experience.

 

How to Execute Your Upgrade

 

Taking Perfect Measurements

You will need to measure the glass before ordering. Get the good old tape measure out and record the width and height of the glass. You will also need to know what room clearance you have around the glass. If the glass is flush against a side wall or backsplash, you need to know the style of mirror frame that will be able to fit in the space without crossing any awkward angles. Taking time to do this step ensures a proper fit of the mirror frame.

 

Choosing the Best Materials

Bathrooms are prone to getting very humid. You will wish to use materials that will fare well when exposed to humidity frequently. Looking through online design boards on sites like Pinterest will provide many ideas for choosing a moisture resistant finish. A clean, white border frame is great if you are going for a modern farmhouse theme in your bathroom. Contrast and sophistication can be added to your home with a dark espresso finish.
