Replace Bathroom Mirrors

An easy way to update your bathroom is to replace your current mirror with a more modern look. If your current bathroom mirror sits in a track and takes up the majority of your wall above your vanity, then it's probably time for a new one.


Instructions


1. Determine what you don't like about your current bathroom mirror. Is it too big? Too small? Without storage?


2. Measure the wall space and choose a mirror that will better reflect your needs. For example, you might choose a recessed medicine cabinet with a mirror for storage or a smaller framed mirror for an updated look.


3. Remove your current mirror, most likely by unscrewing the plastic tabs securing it in place, then removing it from the track located above your sink or backsplash. Be careful not to let it fall and shatter. If you don't have someone to help you hold it against the wall while you remove the screws, wear safety goggles and gloves in case it falls.


4. Center your new mirror above your vanity area and either below your single light or between two wall sconces. Hang according to the manufacturer's instructions, then make sure it's level.


5. Enjoy your bathroom's new look and the reflection of a job well done.
