How To Frame A Big Bathroom Mirror

A large mirror is a great way to make a small bathroom look bigger and brighter. It can also be a focal point of the room, adding style and personality. If you're looking to add a big mirror to your bathroom, framing it is a great way to finish the look and make it a true statement piece.

Here are the steps on how to frame a big bathroom mirror:

Materials You'll Need:

Large mirror
Picture frame molding
Miter saw
Brad nailer
Brad nails
Wood filler
Sandpaper
Paint or stain (optional)

Instructions:

Measure and cut the molding. Using a miter saw, cut the molding to the length of the sides of the mirror. Be sure to cut the molding at a 45-degree angle so that the pieces will fit together nicely.
Assemble the frame. Apply a thin bead of wood glue to the mitered edges of the molding. Then, press the pieces together and secure them with brad nails. Use a brad nailer to make this process easier.
Fill and sand the nail holes. Once the frame is assembled, fill the nail holes with wood filler. Allow the wood filler to dry completely, then sand it smooth.
Paint or stain the frame (optional). If you want to paint or stain the frame, do so now. Be sure to use a paint or stain that is specifically designed for wood.
Attach the mirror to the frame. Apply a thin bead of silicone caulk to the back of the mirror. Then, place the mirror in the frame and press it firmly into place. Allow the caulk to dry completely before hanging the mirror on the wall.

Framing a big bathroom mirror is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours. By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and functional addition to your bathroom.

Tips:

If you're not sure what size frame to get, measure the mirror and add 2 inches to each side.
Use a level to make sure that the frame is hung straight.
If the mirror is heavy, use two people to hang it.
