Great Ideas for Cheap IKEA Mirrors


Have you been to IKEA and seen those very cheap square little mirrors ??
There are huge tall stacks of them, mostly unfinished.
And you think...what people do with those? They are so small and can't see myself !!

Guess what ? They are perfect as decorative pieces, with a little creativity and maybe some
acrylic paint and glue, you will have an art piece in no time.
And the best part? Is unique and it didn't cost a lot of money...another great point, It will look great !!


These mirrors come unfinished, but also in some basic colors, including black.
Measure the wall area you want to use as canvas and arrange the mirrors on the floor. 
Then glue them or attach them using small wood nails or screws.

Use only one color mirrors or combine for a more vivid look.
These mirrors can be easily finish with acrylic paints, you don't have to be an artist, just by painting them in a solid color would be enough.
Place them horizontally or vertically for a more stylish modern look, go a little wild and scatter them in different directions for a more casual and fun look.

Also, place them between a piece of art, to make a bigger statement.


See some examples of how they were used in different areas and styles of decor.

Nobody would think they cost less than $2.00 a piece !!
Have Fun !!
