Create A Stunning Interchangeable Mirror Using Chicken Wire And Faux Florals

Mirrors can majorly impact a room, whether they're expensive, ornate options from luxe retailers or inexpensive, DIY creations. Mirrors can easily become a focal point of any room, reflecting ample light and making the space look larger overall. TikTok creator @rowenhomes showed off how to take any mirror — even the most basic, inexpensive option — and turn it into a stunning focal point by simply shaping chicken wire and adding faux florals. The result is a stylish and beautiful piece of decor that demands attention the second you enter the room.

This floral installation is perfect for decorating your bedroom or dressing area with mirrors, or for creating a dramatic trim for your bathroom mirror. It could also be perfect for elevating a basic floor-length mirror or updating a frameless bathroom mirror found in many older homes. It's also completely customizable, meaning you can mold the mirror's aesthetic to your existing decor based on the flowers or surrounding greenery you choose to weave into the chicken wire. Just switch the materials out seasonally or whenever you want a change.

To create this stunning mirror installation, use wire cutters to cut the chicken wire down to the size you need. TikToker @rowenhomes attaches the wire to the wall with screws, but you can also use a staple gun or attach small Command hooks to the wall for a rental-friendly solution. Mold the wire into your desired formation around the frame — just make sure to leave bulges and hollows to give your flower arrangement a more rolling, three-dimensional look. Surround the mirror on all four sides, fill out only the corners, or select individual spots for your flowers depending on what kind of accent you desire.

Simply weave the stems of your faux flowers or greenery into the chicken wire. You can also use dabs of hot glue to secure the flowers more fully if the mirror is in a high-traffic area, or if children and pets are likely to touch or bump into it frequently.

Try daisies for a fun '90s retro look, or try either lush peonies or roses for a romantic vibe. For more minimalist rooms, try an assortment of eucalyptus or some faux succulents. You can even use DIY burlap roses or paper flowers for a more rustic farmhouse aesthetic. For a beautiful cottagecore-style installation, intersperse the flowers with feathers, fake butterflies, or other clip-on accents. For the holidays, use the wire to hold evergreen branches, other festive greenery, or bare winter branches to fully cover the wire, adding twinkle lights or ornaments to match the season.

You could also use this approach to highlight framed artwork or photographs, or to create a pretty frame around a window or doorway.  You can make it a much larger installation using this similarly stunning floral bedroom DIY treatment, using the mirror as a starting point and spreading gorgeous flowers or greenery out from the frame in a single direction. You can even take it to the corners of the room and onto the ceiling.
