I created a huge mirror wall using a £1.75 bargain buy from IKEA – it’s my favourite DIY hack ever and looks amazing
A HOME influencer has shared how she created a huge mirror wall with a £1.75 buy from IKEA.
Anna, who posts under Our Home Style, is a champion of affordable decor, hacks and home styling.
Her latest DIY project is her “favourite hack so far” and transformed the empty wall space on her staircase.
The content creator shared the quick project in a demonstrative video.
“Do this if you have a big, blank wall,” she penned.
Anna started off by marking out a large rectangle on the hallway wall with tape and blocked out inside the lines with black paint.
The specific tub was Wilko’s Tough And Washable matt finish paint in the black shade of ‘supernova’.
Then, she stuck IKEA BLODLÖNN square mirrors in uniform rows and columns on the wall.
The 30×30 decorative mirrors cost £7 for a pack of four – working out at £1.75 a pop.
As Anna used 24 of the small square mirrors, it came to a total of £42.
“Add a huge statement mirror without the price tag or weight to your walls,” she further penned.
However, the design divided opinions.
Some people thought it would be a “nightmare to clean”, while others claimed it looked “uneven” and the reflections from the mirror “didn’t match”.
“I’ve got this,” one viewer defended in the comments. “It’s lovely and it never gets dirty because it’s high and no one touches them.
“I haven’t had to clean it in one year.”
“Love it,” another penned. “Cleaning it, you’ll find a way.
“If one falls off, stick it back on.
“Who cares? It’s a beautiful feature.”
Anna’s home hacks are so popular that she has a whopping 407k followers on TikTok and 385k on Instagram.
