Mirror, mirror on the ... mirror? A wall covered with a large mirror can do wonders for increasing a light, bright feel and making a space look so much larger. But if that plain mirror seems a touch boring, layering a more detailed, artistic one on top could be just the thing your bathroom needs. Make sure to consult a professional about the best way to safely attach a mirror on top of another. No one wants seven years of bad luck.
If one mirror is good, isn't two better? We think so.

| If you installed a huge slab of mirror in your bathroom decades ago and need an update, there's no need to rip out, patch and repaint. Hanging a beautiful focal-point mirror over the existing piece brings the look back to 2012. |

While the soft curves of a round mirror can add a more delicate, feminine touch to a space, two rectangular mirrors make a masculine statement in this bath.

The frame of this mirror complements the vanity below perfectly, while the sconces add further interest.

Get a look similar to two mirrors by framing a window with mirrors. These beautiful antique mirrors reflect the light from outside, giving the whole room a golden glow.

In the absence of natural light, sconces and candlelight can create a warm feel. A gorgeous trumeau mirror works with the room's antique lighting for ultimate elegance.

If a Venetian mirror is too small to make a room feel as big as a full-length mirror can, get the same effect by layering it over a sheet of plain mirror.

More mirrors mean more glamour. The vanity, Venetian mirror and shimmering tiles in this bathroom complement one another for a truly statement-making look.

chrisens I love the mirror on mirror effect and it does add an instant upgrade to the plain plate glass mirror in a bathroom. For an easier application, try a beautiful "frame only" on top of the mirror. Much easier and I got the same affect.

lindshardoin I am doing this look in a clients existing powder room, I was planning on using industrial Velcro at the top and bottom of the mirror to attach it to the existing mirror. Does anyone have a different suggestion?

chrisens Here's a picture of the frame on the mirror. It's a little hard to see because it's a photo I took a year ago in our winter home in Florida and I'm in Albuquerque today! But I chose this solution with my contractor because it was easier to hang and didn't destroy the mirror underneath.

Norwood Interior Designs I'm a designer and I use open back frames often. Liquid nails or any type of mirror hanging adhesive will work.
