Your home should reflect your style and personality, and sometimes, a little bit of DIY work is necessary. What you find in stores may not immediately jive with your design preferences and what you do unearth might be far out of your budget. Thankfully, a few small tweaks or even an afternoon of crafting can yield the piece your space has been needing.

When you make a DIY mirror, your personality is reflected in your interior in more ways than one. Mirrors can transform a space, making rooms look bigger, adding depth to cramped quarters, and enlivening otherwise boring walls. That said, a bare-bones reflective surface might not totally fall in line with your style, which is why we suggest going the crafty route and having fun with paint, natural materials, and even a bit of fringe.

These mirror-decorating ideas require just a little bit of do-it-yourself magic, and in your space, they’ll have a major impact.
