Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Changing up your mirrors is a straightforward method to inject style into a setting. Mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift its look with ease.
It’s sold in a selection of styles such as etched, tinted, or shaded options, helping you match the film to your décor. Replacing the entire mirror isn’t necessary to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Cost-effective: Revamping your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Versatile styles: Choose from coloured for impact depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can apply the film yourself with basic tools.
- Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Mirror vinyl is crafted from soft vinyl that’s used for more customised mirror decoration. It's used to create designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it great for creating bespoke elements or creative elements without permanent change.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Creative freedom: Use logos, patterns, or text for distinctive looks.
- Adaptable material: Works on walls and other flat surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl can be peeled off without leaving residue.
- 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 geometric shapes on living room mirrors for a visual impact.
