Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to inject style into any space. Adhesive mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift its look with ease.
It’s available in a selection of finishes such as etched, smoked, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to different themes. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Budget-friendly: Altering your mirror with film is cheaper than buying 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.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films resist peeling 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 suitable for adding bespoke elements or creative elements without permanent change.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Incorporate logos, motifs, or imagery for personal looks.
- Wide application: Applies to windows and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl is easy to remove without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: 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 floral patterns on living room mirrors for a visual impact.
Choosing Between Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl
Your choice depends on the style you're after.
- Mirror Film: Best for clean looks like metallic styles.

Shops and offices might use both to tie décor into their theme.
Applying the Film or Vinyl
- Clean the surface thoroughly to avoid air bubbles.
