10 DIY Mirror Projects to Give Your Room a Major Upgrade
A strategically placed mirror can make a room feel larger, give you a place to make sure you don’t have lipstick on your teeth before walking out the door and add a bit of character to any space.

We’ve rounded up 10 DIY mirror projects to turn those drab and boring mirrors into statement-making focal points for your living room, bedroom or any room really. Reflect on these and get inspired.
