Framing a Bathroom Mirror With Style

A bathroom mirror is a utilitarian and functional item that can be found in almost any bathroom. However, although it may be a utilitarian item that does not mean that a bathroom mirror cannot have style and panache.

Antique Frames
One of the most inexpensive and fun ways to frame a bathroom mirror is with an old antique picture frame. You can find these at many bargain basement consignment stores, rummage sales or the flea market. Very often you do not need to pay very much for an old frame and if you want to give it a new appearance, you will need to strip away any existing finish or paint. However, for many people, one of the attractions of using an antique frame is the patina of age on the frame.

Metal Frames
Another type of mirror frame that can be very attractive in a bathroom is a metal frame. You can find these frames at craft stores, picture framing stores and flea markets. Metal frames range from simple and elegant straight sided square or rectangular frames to beautiful filigree frames and everything in between.

Wood Frames
You can also find gorgeous wood frames in a variety of sizes and shapes. Very often, you can find simple wood frames you can construct yourself at craft and art stores without spending a great deal of money.

Once you have decided what kind of frame you want to use, then all you need to do is purchase a mirror that matches the shape and size of your frame and attach it to the back of the frame.
