Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes. While some are pretty basic there are others that are truly ornate and make for stunning centerpieces in any room. Of course, buying an ornate mirror to add to the décor and elegance of your room can be costly but there are ways in which you can transform a mirror in order to turn it into a beautiful decorative centerpiece for your room.

There are a number of simple ways in which you can transform an old and bland mirror, turning it into something that you can proudly display as a decorative element in any room. These ideas are very easy to implement but also very effective, so you can look forward to excellent results with minimal hassle.

Simple Ideas to Make the Transformation From Bland to Grand

Using a mirror as a decorative element or centerpiece has become very popular in interior design circles. Mirrors not only add a touch of elegance and class to the room but they can also make the room look and feel more spacious. So, let’s take a look at some of the simple ideas that can help to turn your mirror from bland to grand:

  • Paint the frame in a bold color: If you have an old mirror with a wooden frame that is worn and has seen better days, you can transform it simply by using wood paint. Choose a bold color for the frame, as this will really stand out when you mount it on the wall and it will help to brighten up the décor in the room as well. You can even give it a distressed, shabby chic effect for a beautiful vintage finish.
  • Magazine pages: If you want to add both color and texture to the mirror, you can use tightly rolled pages from magazines all around the outside of the mirror to create a unique and fabulous frame. Pack the rolled pages tightly next to one another so that there are no gaps, and you will end up with a beautifully fanned out frame that boasts a plethora of colors.
  • Silk flowers: You can buy silk flowers very cheaply these days and these are ideal for creating an elegant finish for your mirror. Opt for something elegant such as silk roses and then remove the plastic stems. You can then glue the actual glowers all around the frame or outside of the glass to create a gorgeous, classy frame that will add a touch of class to any room in the home.
  • Shell frame: If you love collecting shells, don’t let them go to waste. Instead, glue them around the frame or outside glass of your old mirror and transform it into a unique and stunning centerpiece for your home. You can use shells that are all the same size or add some contrast by using both bigger and smaller ones. Either way, the effects will be stunning.

With these simple yet effective methods, you can make any old mirror look unique and elegant.

Be Creative With Your Mirrors

While the above are some of the ideas that you can use, there are literally hundreds of different ways in which you can dress up your mirror and make it far grander than you ever imagined it could be. When it comes to creating the perfect mirror, don’t be afraid to get creative. All you need to consider is the effect and color range that you want for the room in question and you can then let your creative juices flow.
