Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to inject style into any space. Mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, allowing you to modify its look with ease.
It’s offered in a selection of styles such as frosted, tinted, or shaded options, making it easy to match the film to your décor. There’s no need for a full replacement to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Affordable: Revamping your mirror with film is cheaper than buying a new one.
- Versatile styles: Choose from frosted for privacy depending on your goal.
- Do-it-yourself friendly: You can fit the film yourself with minimal tools.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is crafted from soft vinyl designed for more detailed mirror decoration. You can cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it great for introducing bespoke elements or branding without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Use logos, patterns, or imagery for distinctive looks.
- Adaptable material: Applies to glass and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl is easy to remove without damaging the glass.
- Easy to clean: Keep it tidy with a cloth.
Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
Use vinyl creatively to add subtle details. Try etched looks for spaces needing privacy, or floral patterns on living room mirrors for a visual impact.
Choosing Between Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl
Your choice depends on the style you're after.
- Mirror Film: Best for clean looks like metallic styles.
- Mirror Vinyl: Ideal for detailed patterns and personalisation.
Shops and offices might use both to tie décor into their theme.
Application Tips
- Clean the surface thoroughly to avoid air bubbles.
- Take your time to prevent wrinkles.
- Use a sharp blade for trimming excess film cleanly.
