Ways Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl Can Update Your Mirror Décor
Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to add personality into a room. Mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s offered in a variety of effects such as frosted, smoked, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to your décor. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Affordable: Updating your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Style choices: Choose from tinted for warmth depending on your goal.
- Do-it-yourself friendly: You can install the film yourself with minimal tools.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and maintain appearance over time.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is a flexible PVC material designed for more precise mirror decoration. It allows you to cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it ideal for introducing artistic features or graphics without long-term commitment.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Design flexibility: Add logos, patterns, or imagery for brand-specific looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to windows and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl is easy to remove without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with minimal effort.
