Mirrored Furniture DIY – We love the art deco feel of trunks and vanity tables with mirrored surfaces, but cringe at the price tag of these reflective furniture pieces. So we were happy to find a lot of tutorials on Pinterest on how to mirror furniture yourself.

Making DIY mirrored furniture can be a little difficult and definitely will take longer than an hour for the finished product, but you can save hundreds of dollars by doing it yourself, especially if you’re using old furniture that you bought from a yard sale.

What you need:

First up, you will want a piece of furniture to mirror. A piece with large, flat vertical surfaces will work, such as a nightstand, a vanity, or a set of drawers. You don’t have to add mirrors all over the entire piece – adding a reflective surface to the most prominent sections of the piece will be easiest and still look impressive.

For simple mirroring: A mirror slightly smaller than the size of the panel you want, optional: molding to frame the sides of the mirror

For more extensive mirroring: Large pieces of mirror panels, glass cutter, ruler, very fine (220 grit) sandpaper

Liquid nails, an adhesive used specifically for mirrors and glass

Coarse (40-60 grit) sandpaper

Spray paint: silver (try Rustoleum ) or black

What to do:
