Different types run with different budgets. So the amount this project will cost varies based on the size of the mirror. Also, the type of molding you get. 

Using Sticky Tiles to Create a Focal Piece 

You don’t necessarily need a frame to create borders that encase your mirror. In fact, you can make your own border using vinyl tiles that will frame the background of your mirror. This is a great idea to implement in your bathroom. 

Create a striking vignette using tiles that extend from the top of the vanity to the base of the mirror. Since you’re only tiling a part of the wall, this project is very easy on the wallet. It also doesn’t take as much time and the end product looks like a million bucks. 

In addition to framing the background, you can also apply tiles directly to the mirror. Start by making a pattern that is reminiscent of the theme of the surroundings. If you’re doing a beach-themed bathroom, then seashells, buttons, sand dollars, and starfish are must-have accessories. 

Glue the small tiles and the accessories together to create an astonishing mosaic for a retro finish. You can always get creative with this DIY project and use items you have around the house. This is a great way to recycle old things and to save up on unnecessary expenses.
