IKEA HACK DIY Industrial Mirror wall under 85 $

[@LivingDIY]

Thank you for all your feedback and nice words! Support us at Patreon! We just set up the site. Please be our first suporter! www.patreon.com/livingdiy We will show all of your nicks in every video in the future to show our gratitude. (If you want of course) For more pictures of the result, check out our Instagram @ homeofrith instagram.com/homeofrith/ The shopinglist for this project is: Note, all materials were purchased in local stores and therefor the list below is not exactly the same since I try to find the materials online. Mirrors: IKEA LOTS 30x30 cm www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lots-spegel-39151700/ Glue: Any strong professional glue will work aslong its suitable for the right materials in your room. www.amazon.com/UNIBOND-1963627-Nails-Original-Cartridge/dp/B013XC64J2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=no+more+nails&qid=1578178954&sr=8-1 Moldings: Search for quarter molding with planed edge like the black little template in the link below at your local hardware store. (makes it easier to place on the wall) If you find them unpainted they are always cheaper. www.homedepot.com/p/Alexandria-Moulding-WM-108-1-2-in-x-1-2-in-x-96-in-Primed-Pine-Finger-Jointed-Quarter-Round-Moulding-10100-93096C/205576634 Spray paint: We went with glossy finish. We felt it would go better with the mirrors. www.homedepot.com/p/Quick-Color-10-oz-Gloss-Black-General-Purpose-Spray-Paint-J2851812/100678561 The project works fine without a mitresaw but it speeds up the process since its a lot of cuts. the frame is 45 degree cuts and the rest is straight cuts. We strongly recommend you to use a level. We are sorry that so many did not like the music and promise to make up for it in future videos. Our driveway is fine. We painted the moldings in an area thats just for containers and such. the rain took care of it within a few months. Our paint was environmental friendly. Take care everyone and thanks again for watching!

[@LivingDIY]

Hi! No glue, just the strips that followed in the packade. The moldings locks the mirrors to the wall. If you still feel that you need glue I would use the same as you use for the moldings. Good luck!

[@OnePieceJMU87]

LivingDIY how many cm for the moldings?

[@LivingDIY]

Hi! The sections is about: Innerpieces: Horizional - 123 cm Vertical 30 cm Frame: Horizional - 218 cm Vertical - 125 cm Good luck!

[@youtubeyamiyibi5023]

What size mirror did you use ?

[@debbiewilliams2946]

Really expands the space. Looks like a window into another room.

[@LivingDIY]

Thank you for your kind words! We feel the same. The room also lets in so much more light now.

[@clotilde7752]

actually this is one of the best ikea hack ever

[@LivingDIY]

Thank you so much for saying that!

[@sarahofer4368]

And the reflection in the mirror is of the gorgeous sunset!

[@LivingDIY]

Yes its so beautiful, so thankful we got to share it!

[@llfalexo]

The sunsetting in the background is to die for😍

[@LivingDIY]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@mmarcus2535]

love the videos but the music gives me a headache!

[@missmayflower]

[@EmpressLilith222]

I like the music

For those on a tighter budget, the Dollar Tree carries black plastic framed mirrors that will give a very similar effect without the need for tools and all of this assembly. They could be held with Command Strips, which would save the wall from damage for those who rent or like to change up decor.

[@AppelmoesArtandPhotography]

This is beautiful! You can also do this with mirrors that you give an antique look, by removing the grey back of the mirror with paint remover, praying acid on the back so there are see through splatters, and then painting the back black or maybe even gold! Have a nice day, greetings from the Netherlands

[@nancyjimenez9247]

OMG you are so creative 🙌🇨🇦❤️ What would you used in between them??

[@pineappletop8751]

Note to self. “Do not paint driveway “

[@betsyolsson-mackowski7682]

Turned out beautifully! I love how it captured the colors of the sunset. It reminds me of a huge window in a loft.

[@LivingDIY]

Thank you for your kind words! Im glad you liked it!

[@HoneyMaty]

Very pretty and that sunset in the background... awesome

[@KirasBeautyBar]

This came out extremely beautiful ❤️. To anyone who’s going to recreate, it’ll be a little less expensive to purchase the 6 pack mirrors from Lowe’s or Home Depot for 10.98 😊

[@LivingDIY]

Great tip! Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@MathijsGroothuis]

Only useful in the US :-P. KZbinrs are European.

[@superbella2297]

Are they the same quality at Lowe’s? I want to buy

[@xarianeee]

Can you link me

[@iamdacrazydimples]

@@xarianeee www.lowes.com/pd/Style-Selections-12-in-L-x-12-in-W-Square-Polished-Wall-Mirror/3730183 I did one with these and then another larger one out of dollar tree mirrors.

[@sandraruiz3834]

also I recommend spray painting on your grass because the grass will grow out and no paint left on your concrete area

Thank you!! We think alike!

[@ahmobile5795]

From the thumnail, I honestly thought it was a large window...until i saw the title! Well done! Best hack ever!

[@brianajamilab]

Looks so cozy especially with the view of the sunset. The mirror definitely opened up the space. The whole design of the room is gorgeous, the mirror is just the icing on the cake. Love it.

[@kimberlydouglas221]

I like the concept. The only thing that I would have done differently would be to attach the mirrors and moulding to a sheet of plywood. Then attach that to the wall instead. It seems like it would be difficult to remove from drywall installed like this if you wanted to change the look.

[@toDIYfor]

Wow! That really changes the space so cheap and easy for such a big impact! Wish I wasn’t renting..since this is so permanent!

[@sharonharrison4795]

Apply to plywood or mdf, movable and no wall damage!

[@LivingDIY]

I think the best alternative is mdf and screw it to the wall, The mdf is very straight and stable. A thick piece of plywood may work aswell. You also need to ad some extra glue to the mirrors with the same glue as we used for the moldings. (otherwise there is a possibility that the mirrors may fall off after som time) Keep in mind if you go with this idea that this mirror is so big and you really need to support the weight. Setting it on the floor and then leaning against the wall is an option but may look a bit to homemade for some. Using a thin plywood may cause the result to maybe be a bit curved Good Luck!

[@sffjns]

I love this DIY! I have been after a mirror like this for ages, but for the size I need not only would it be really expensive but the mirror would be ridiculously heavy. I definitely think this will be something I'll be recreating! ❤

[@LivingDIY]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that we inspired you!😃❤️

[@beverlyblanco3167]

Lovely results! Might want to consider putting something under the trim when spray painting so you don't ruin the athletics of the driveway.

[@ChocolateJewels]

That's the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing!

[@LivingDIY]

Thanks a lot for watching and saying that!

[@funkiamyx]

I’m enthusiastically watching this, even though I don’t have a saw to begin with 😂

[@rhondasplace3529]

Best hack I've seen in a long time tfs

[@LivingDIY]

You think!? Thank you!!

[@megang3052]

Most strong adhesive is corrosive to mirror's back coating. The result of corrosion may appear after couple of years. PL200 or other common glues may not be a good choice. Usually will recommend using RTV silicone and mirro-mastic for mirror installation but may not be suitable for such supportless installation.

[@LivingDIY]

Youre a bit wrong there. Ive been using different PL glues for like 10 years both in work and private. PL200 is used at work by carpenters here in Sweden. About 5 years back i made a mirror with palletwood, a mirror and PL200. Still looks great and no sign of corrosion.

[@marilynduenas1876]

It’s beautiful.. I was planning to do something like that.. but I don’t have the space to use the tools or paint spray now

[@meh8099]

Why glue it to the wall instead of using a thin board as backplate and then hang it flush on the wall?

[@toosense]

M eh yes, then you can move it later if desired.

[@raydient1]

​ @Too Sense Especially, since they covered over the in between spaces. I liked it without the molding. It's so much easier to think of the most convenient way after you completed it.

[@levelupnw]

Exactly what I was thinking. That was way too much work!

[@msladypmodel]

Yeah i was thinkin the same thing

[@kdbrth997]

I was wondering that too. I'm a tenant and afraid Ill mess up the wall for good with the glue. Anyone got an idea on where to find a thin board like that?

[@dianecottrell7165]

I just subscribed!!! That is absolutely beautiful 😍😍! I do want 2 of these on my huge hallway wall! Thank u so much for sharing this genius idea and work!! I'm so in love with that mirror I can't even tell u how much lol! Great teamwork guys! Absolutely breath takingly beautiful 😍😍

Liked it without the mouldings. Did this in a dark hallway.

Thank you for your kind words ❤️

[@Nowisthetime01]

For the molding did you use quarter round? (1 curved side with 2 equal flat sides). It looks like it. Can you confirm. Also did you glue one of the flat sides to the wall, so the curved side is facing down for the horizontal moldings? And vertical did you make the curve side facing the outward edge of the mirror? Would appreciate any details you can provide. Thank you.

[@trustinyeshua5966]

Stunning work...and yes thumbs up for the cute Dog ! 👍

[@jessiekei4058]

Where do you buy the thin wood framing

5 sec in to the video! I was like : these people must be from Sweden.

[@madeonfoot]

Excellent idea :) I'd glue the wood / wood batten to hold the glass rather than glue the glass to wall, just in case if I need to replace it

very good idea, thanks. anyway, how about I wanna remove that stuff from the wall?

[@SharonCullenArt]

Nice. And nice view from the mirror to a sunset! I would have loved to hear how long this took you to do and it appears you didn't add extra glue to the mirror pieces???

[@LivingDIY]

Thank you for saying that! About three days. We put up the mirrors the first day. The next day we did the the spraying, measured the pieces and finally cutting them. The day after we glued the horizonal moldings to the wall, measured the vertical and finally glued the rest up in the evening. It can be done in many 36-48 hours or so i guess. No we did not ad any extra glue on the back of the mirrors. Some people have been writing the the fall off the wall but we have no experience from that. I guess the walls plays a part here. And how good your surface is. I would say sheetrock with wallpaper is not as optimal as concrete with wall paint. Good luck!

As an easier alternative option, you could have painted the wall black under the mirrors and avoided the interior mounding and then just applied a thicker moulding as a border.

Maybe easier but for sure not so effective. The beauty is on details.
