Bathroom Mirrors & Lighting

Measure the mirror edges precisely and attach pre-made mirror framing strips with waterproof adhesive, or build a custom wood frame secured with mirror clips at the corners.

Apply painter's tape in a grid pattern across the mirror surface, then use a putty knife to gently pry it off the wall while supporting the weight. For glued mirrors, use a heat gun to soften the adhesive first.

Mix distilled water + white vinegar (1:1), spray on a microfiber cloth (not directly on the mirror), and wipe in circular motions.

Use waterproof LED strip lights with adhesive backing, installing them on the mirror's back edge or a recessed frame. Connect to a GFCI-protected circuit with a dimmer switch for adjustable lighting.
