Saving Space And Gaining Style With Over-The-Door Mirrors

Saving Space And Gaining Style With Over-The-Door Mirrors

Mounting a mirror to a door seems like a very practical thing to do, especially when the space you have to work with is limited.

The idea is especially great when decorating bathrooms but this can also be a useful feature in bedrooms, dressing rooms and potentially in other environments where an airy and open decor is desirable. Let’s check out how others integrated the over-the-door mirror concept in their own interesting designs.

DIY over the door mirror installation

As practical and as space-efficient as over-the-door mirrors are they still have downsides. The fact that they’re attached to the door itself can be bothering in some cases, especially if the mirror is not firmly secured onto the door and makes sound or moves around when you open and close the door. To solve that issue and still have access to a mirror a solution can be to hang it on the wall behind the door, assuming the space is not already occupied. This clever alternative idea comes from thediyplaybook.



In case you’re wondering, you can add a mirror to a sliding door. If anything, that allows you to have a larger mirror and to give it a nice built-in and more robust look by making part of the door. That requires building a custom frame around the mirror and if you combine that with the option of building your own sliding barn door from scratch you can come up with a really cool and stylish design. There’s a tutorial explaining this whole process on swiftfit so check it out before you start making plans.
