Things You'll Need:
- Plastic Buttons
- Drawer Handles
- Mirrors
-
Step 1
Hang large framed mirrors on walls to expand and brighten spaces (but be sure the mirror reflects an attractive image).
-
Step 2
Mirror a long wall in a skinny space to double the visual width of the room. This is a great trick for halls, entryways, narrow dining rooms, exercise rooms and master bathrooms.
-
Step 3
Use a framed mirror to serve as a tray that corrals perfumes, cosmetics and jewelry on a dresser top or bathroom counter. Hot-glue plastic buttons on the bottom of the tray (the back of the mirror) to serve as nondamaging gliders.
-
Step 4
Add slim drawer handles to the wide, substantial frame of a framed mirror and use it as a serving tray. Be sure the mirror is well-supported with a backing of plywood or Masonite.
-
Step 5
Mirror the countertop's backsplash in the kitchen. It will reflect light where you're preparing food, and it's a breeze to wipe clean.
-
Step 6
Mirror the backs of bookcases or display shelves to add a sense of depth.
-
Step 7
Have a mirror custom-cut to fit the top of a damaged piece of furniture such as a table or dresser top.
